The WhoIsWatching extension allows to find out who is watching a particular page, and add others to watchlist for that page.

Rationale

Even though this notion goes against Wikipedia and Wikimedia privacy policy, some wikis may actually like to see which of its users are watching particular pages. This extension provides just such an interface at the bottom of every page. Additionally, this extension has an option to allow any user to add any page to any other user's watch list.

Installation

Make sure that Extension:Echo is installed as it is a prerequisite for this extension to work.

• Download and move the extracted WhoIsWatching folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/WhoIsWatching
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'WhoIsWatching' );
  # $whoiswatching_nametype = "RealName";
  # $whoiswatching_allowaddingpeople = false;
  # $whoiswatching_showifzero = true;
  # $whoiswatching_showwatchingusers = false;
  # $whoiswatching_maxPicklistUsers = 10;
  # $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['addpagetoanywatchlist'] = true;
  # $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['seepagewatchers'] = true;
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

You can simply start using the extension without changing anything else. The only additional configuration that is currently possible for the extension defines how to display the names of the users watching the pages. A cikin SpecialWhoIsWatching.php, akwai

# Set the following to either 'UserName' or 'RealName' to change how watching users are displayed.
$whoiswatching_nametype = 'RealName';

As the comment implies, depending on the value of this variable, you can display either the real names of the watching users or their wiki usernames. Dalilin da yasa wasu wiki za su so su canza zuwa yanayin 'UserName' shine idan ba sa buƙatar membobinsu su sami ingantaccen suna.

Another configurable option in the extension is the ability to switch on/off the option to allow any user to add any page to any other user's watch list. This is done in SpecialWhoIsWatching.php, where there is

# Set true if you don't want to use permissions and users are allowed to add to other user's watchlists.
$whoiswatching_allowaddingpeople = true;
