Installation

  • Download and move the extracted UILangCode folder to your extensions/ directory.

    git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/UILangCode
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'UILangCode' );

Usage

{{UILANGCODE}}

This will make the parser cache vary per user language, greatly decreasing hit rate and increasing storage.
