Installation
- First install the TemplateData and WikiEditor extensions, and optionally CirrusSearch.
- Download and move the extracted
TemplateWizardfolder 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/TemplateWizard - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'TemplateWizard' );
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Usage notes
TemplateWizard provides a visual dialog that helps editors insert templates in a guided manner. In order to do that, it uses the TemplateData information that can be provided with templates. It does work with templates that do not have TemplateData, but provides a much better experience if TemplateData is used. For this reason, it's a good idea to make sure your templates provide TemplateData. For more information on how to add TemplateData to your templates, please see this guide.
If the Extension:CirrusSearch is installed, then the template search form will display improved search results. Without that extension, template search is done as an exact prefix search on the template title.
