Installation
- Download and move the extracted
Metadata
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/Metadata - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'Metadata' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Usage
To set a simple key-value pair for the current page:
{{#metadata:key=value}}
And to set multiple key-value pairs in a single call:
{{#metadata: | key = value | foo = bar | baz }}
Keys with no value will be assigned a "1" value.
Once set, the properties will be accessible via the HTML <meta> tags, like so:
<meta name="key" content="value" /> <meta name="foo" content="bar" /> <meta name="baz" content="1" />
And also, via the "props" endpoint introduced by this extension to the MediaWiki REST API, with the following URL pattern:
/w/rest.php/v1/page/{title}/props
Finally, the properties can also be accessed via the Properties module of the MediaWiki Action API, with the following URL pattern:
/w/api.php?action=query&prop=pageprops&titles={title}
