StaffEdits is an extension which enables users with the staffedit
user right (i.e. ShoutWiki staff on ShoutWiki) to choose to tag their edits as "official ShoutWiki staff edits" in the action=edit
mode in a way that cannot be faked by anyone.
When the extension is enabled, the staffedit tag is displayed on Special:Tags as well as on Special:RecentChanges, next to each and every staff edit, if there are any such edits.
Installation
[edit]- Download and move the extracted
StaffEdits
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/StaffEdits - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'StaffEdits' );
- Configure at your convenience
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
[edit]$wgStaffEditsMessagePrefix
This sets a simple lowercase abbreviation of the organization the Staff are a part of. So "sw" for ShoutWiki, or "wmf" for the Wikimedia Foundation, etc. Once you set this, you really shouldn't change it. Defaults to "sw".
- system messages
- user right and user group
The user right "staffedit" is by default set to the user group, e.g. "staff" which also comes with this extension:
$wgGroupPermissions['staff']['staffedit'] = true;
