Topic on Extension talk:NativeSvgHandler

Can you just put some svg tags around your svg code and get an image?

I too am curious how this works. I've tried uploading svg files, embedding <svg>...</svg> payloads directly in the source editor and embedding URIs to remotely hosted svg files, all without any success. LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadExtension('NativeSvgHandler');

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg';

Since it is a file handler you need to upload the SVG File. The Handler skips the JPG/PNG-thumbnail-process and delivers instead the SVG in a direct way.

For inline SVG was another extension ..

it's unmaintained and was sweeped.
