  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/LinkSuggest2
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'LinkSuggest2' );
  

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

Configuration parameters

Extending

The extension exposes a simple API which can be used by other extensions to add LinkSuggest support to arbitrary elements:
