The CommunityConfiguration extension provides a mechanism for communities to configure the exposed settings from extensions installed in a wiki.
Current status is under development. See more information about the project in Community configuration 2.0.
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
CommunityConfiguration
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CommunityConfiguration - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'CommunityConfiguration' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Glossary
editThe following terms are used across technical documentation and Phabricator issues. However they are not definitive and subject to change.
- Configuration page: A place to store the configuration in; as of now, it is a JSON page in the MediaWiki namespace
- Schema: Defines what variables can be present in a configuration page and the format of the variables
- Editing form: An HTML form that allows to modify the configuration of a registered provider
- Configuration provider: Consists of a configuration page and matching schema.
- Server setting: A setting in LocalSettings.php or InitialiseSettings.php that is available through MediaWiki core config interface. The community can request a change, see Requesting wiki configuration changes. Updating requires Gerrit credentials and a deployment of a production configuration change. Some configuration must be available early in the request, and that configuration must be a server setting.
- Overridable server setting: A setting in LocalSettings.php or InitialiseSettings.php that is available through standard MediaWiki config interfaces and also defined in a CommunityConfiguration providers (tbd: link to providers section), usually stored in a wiki JSON page. The option can be changed on-wiki by administators, bureaucrats, stewards, etc. Consumers of CommunityConfiguration services will get the on-wiki option, consumers of MediaWiki core config interfaces will get the server option.
- On-wiki option: A setting only defined in a CommunityConfiguration provider, only available through CommunityConfiguration services, usually stored in a wiki JSON page. It can be changed on-wiki by administators, bureaucrats, stewards, etc.

This extension is being used on one or more Wikimedia projects. This probably means that the extension is stable and works well enough to be used by such high-traffic websites. Look for this extension's name in Wikimedia's CommonSettings.php and InitialiseSettings.php configuration files to see where it's installed. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki can be seen on the wiki's Special:Version page. |
