Installation
First install the
TemplateData
and
WikiEditor
extensions, and optionally
CirrusSearch
and move the extracted
TemplateWizard
folder to your
extensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension
from Git
instead, using:
cd
extensions/
git
clone
Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php
file:
wfLoadExtension
'TemplateWizard'
);
Done
– Navigate to
Special:Version
on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Usage notes
TemplateWizard provides a visual dialog that helps editors insert templates in a guided manner.
In order to do that, it uses the
TemplateData
information that can be provided with templates.
It does work with templates that do not have TemplateData, but provides a much better experience if TemplateData is used. For this reason, it's a good idea to make sure your templates provide TemplateData.
For more information on how to add TemplateData to your templates, please
see this guide
If the
Extension:CirrusSearch
is installed, then the template search form will display improved search results.
Without that extension, template search is done as an exact prefix search on the template title.
