The WikimediaBadges extension provides default themes to display badges generated by Wikibase Client (via the badgeClassNames setting) on Wikimedia projects.

It provides themes for the following Wikimedia skins:

• vector
• cologneblue
• modern
• monobook

Make sure you have one of the above skins installed to use the extension. You can check your installed skin on Special:Version.

Additionally the extension changes the Wikimedia Commons link in the "Other projects" sidebar to point to the Commons category (P373), even if the Item's sitelink of the page is actually pointing to the gallery page.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WikimediaBadges in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

  wfLoadExtension( 'WikimediaBadges' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
