    About[edit]

    This is a Mediawiki extension that inserts JargonFile definitions on wiki pages.

    Usage[edit]

    The simplest way to do so is to insert <jargon /> in a page, that will use the current page title as lookup term.

    Alternatively you can use <jargon>something</jargon>.

    Pages using it are also automatically included in Category:Jargon.

    ToDo[edit]

    If you find a missing page, simply insert <jargon /> (and nothing else) into the new page and save it.

    Source[edit]

    Install[edit]

    To install copy into ./extensions/JargonExtension.php and then include("extensions/JargonExtension.php"); in LocalSettings.php as usual with Mediawiki extensions.

    The extension uses the Debian package jargon. apt-get install jargon. (Also see vh).
