Extension:NativeSvgHandler
Browser support for rendering SVGs varies widely, so the appearance of an SVG cannot be guaranteed to be consistent for all viewers. Don't rely on SVGs appearing the same for all viewers. |

The NativeSvgHandler extension allows SVG files to be served directly to clients for client-side rendering. If you are running MediaWiki on a version newer or equal to 1.41, use $wgSVGNativeRendering instead.
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
NativeSvgHandler
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/NativeSvgHandler - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'NativeSvgHandler' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Security
NativeSvgHandler serves SVG directly to clients through image tags, which is not vulnerable to XSS attack. XSS attacks are only relevant when it is accessed directly through original file on the file page, which is neither in the scope nor in control of this extension.
