Installation

edit
Sanctions requires the Echo extension, the Renameuser extension and the StructuredDiscussions extension be installed as a prerequisite.
  • Download and move the extracted Sanctions folder to your extensions/ directory.
    Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Sanctions
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'Sanctions' );
    
  • Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
  •   Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
