If the hook has been deprecated (but not removed), the version of MediaWiki that it was deprecated in.
summary
A short description of the hook's purpose.
More detailed descriptions are desirable, and should be added to the main page content.
If you update the short description, please also update the two tables on Manual:Hooks .
args
The arguments, as used at the top of the function.
extension
Extension name where hook is called; for when the source is not in the MediaWiki core code repository.
source
Location (file name) which calls this hook in the code. Further locations can be added via source2...source10.
sourcefunction

newvarname
Used by {{Removed }} or {{Deprecated }} when removed or deprecated is set.
newvarlink

templatemode
Set to nocats if hook documentation should not appear in standard MediaWiki Categories.
By default, using this template places the documentation page into categories:
  • MediaWiki hooks
  • Hooks added in MediaWiki...
There are times when it is undesirable to automatically categorise the hook documentation. Examples would include when documenting a hook in an extension, or when documenting the template itself.
nocatdesc
If a hook is removed completely from MediaWiki version by setting yes, it will not show up the category description.
