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

Button

• Enable or disable the AgeClassificationButton
  • true = enabled

$wgAgeClassificationButton = false;

Remark

• This extension works from REL1_25 and has been tested up to MediaWiki version 1.36.3.
• In REL1_37, the SkinBuildSidebar hook no longer allows images and HTML code to be placed in the sidebar.

  A solution for this circumstance is not yet known.

  The most important thing is that the metadata insertion still works. As a minimal solution, a simple text link to the donation page is now given in REL1_37. The missing image in the navigation bar seems to be tolerable.
