$wgGoogleAdSenseClient = 'none'; // Client ID for your AdSense script
$wgGoogleAdSenseHost = 'none'; // Host ID for your AdSense script

(You can get your publisher ID and ad unit ID from the "Get code" page: Get and copy the ad code.)

Optional parameters

Add any of the optional settings below – if your settings deviate from the defaults: 

// Source URL of the AdSense script. No need to change - it can't deviate from the defaults.
$wgGoogleAdSenseSrc = '//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js';
$wgGoogleAdSenseSrc = '//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1234&host=ca-host-pub-5678';

// AdSenseMode. Default is 'normal'.
$wgGoogleAdSenseMode = 'responsive'; (since 2.8.2)

// Text coding. Default is 'utf8'.
$wgGoogleAdSenseEncoding = "utf8"; (until 2.7.1)

// Advertising language. Default is $wgLanguageCode.
$wgGoogleAdSenseLanguage = "en"; (until 2.7.1)

// This can be anything you like. Default is 'none'.
$wgGoogleAdSenseID = 'none'; (until 2.7.1)

Ad units

Define up to four ad units: 

$wgGoogleAdSense_AD1 = [ 'slotid 1', 145, 260 ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_AD2 = [ 'slotid 2', 145, 260 ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_Top = [ 'slotid 3', 145, 260 ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_Bottom = [ 'slotid 4', 145, 260 ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_AD1 = [ 'slotid 1', 145, 260, 'rectangle' ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_AD2 = [ 'slotid 2', 145, 260, 'horizontal' ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_Top = [ 'slotid 3', 145, 260, 'vertical' ];
$wgGoogleAdSense_Bottom = [ 'slotid 4', 145, 260, 'vertical, rectangle' ];

Replace the first value with your AdSense ad unit ID (google_ad_slot / data-ad-slot) for each ad unit. The Slot ID for your AdSense script is for example 1234580893.

Also specify in the second and third value the width and the height of the AdSense unit, specified in your AdSense account (google_ad_width / data-ad-width, google_ad_height / data-ad-height). Values such as 'auto', '100%', '60%' etc. are accepted. The fourth variable for data-ad-format is optional.

Example

This example is doing the same as the example above in chapter BannerCode: 

$wgWimaAdvertising = false;
$wgGoogleAdSense = true;
$wgGoogleAdSenseClient = 'pub-9471398824076666';
$wgGoogleAdSense_AD1 = [ '3512091103', 145, 260 ];
$wgGoogleAdSenseSrc = '//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9471398824076666';

Compatibility with more skins

You can use this extension with any skin. $wgSidebarAd1Code and $wgSidebarAd2Code only work if the activated skin has a sidebar. $wgBannerBottomCode and $wgBannerTopCode should always work. Only a present sidebar may require additional css support, which handles the background color of the slot and similar stuff.

You may avoid a PHP warning message by altering line 44 in file Hooks.php from 

	} else if ( $skinname !== 'fallback' ) {

into 

	} else if ( !in_array( $skinname, [ 'yourfavoriteskin', 'fallback' ] ) ) {
