JargonExtension

About

Insert JargonFile definitions on wiki pages.

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.

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

You can help here by going to a page that already uses it and click the red "Next" or "Prev" links and simply insert <jargon /> and nothing else into it and clicking save.
