Customization

edit

Using the $wgLastModifiedRange configuration parameter, you can change the display range (or timelimit) used by the extension. For example, if you only want to display the message for articles that were updated less than 30 days ago, set this value to 2. This will display a message like: "Last updated 20 days ago." You will not see this message for articles that were modified more than 30 days ago. The parameter only accepts an integer value. Here are the options available:

Value Display
years months days hours minutes seconds
0 years Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
1 months No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
2 days No No Yes Yes Yes Yes
3 hours No No No Yes Yes Yes
4 minutes No No No No Yes Yes
5 seconds No No No No No Yes

The default used by the extension is "0".
