Acronym tooltips[edit | edit source]

  • Makes use of Extension:Lingo
    • Usage: The extension takes acronyms and their definitions from the Terminology article. The rendering of all tooltips on an article can be prevented with the magic word: __NOGLOSSARY__. To prevent tooltips only within a section, use: <noglossary>Content</noglossary>.
    • Our syntax is: ;ACRONYM:[[Internal Link]]. Brief description as per the most canonical source available, such as the ICANN Bylaws (''Source'').
    • Note: Pluralization is not natively supported by the extension, and acronyms with potential plural forms need to be declared manually.

Page Notice[edit | edit source]

Semantics-related[edit | edit source]

Gadgets[edit | edit source]

Gadgets are powerful self-contained JS actions that are loaded ahead of MediaWiki:Common.js, being loaded almost in tandem with the DOM. They need to be declared individually in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition, and the most useful arguments to use with them are "default" (which effectively turns them into a ResourceLoader) and "hidden" (cannot be disabled by users).
