Extension:EntitySchema
Appearance
The EntitySchema extension allows storing Shape Expressions Schemas on wiki pages (using ShExC syntax), as well as validating entities against those Schemas using the ShEx2 — Simple Online Validator. For more information on enabling this second part, see #Configuration.
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
EntitySchema
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/EntitySchema - Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing
composer install --no-dev
in the extension directory. (See task T173141 for potential complications.) - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: Configure as required.
wfLoadExtension( 'EntitySchema' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
Prerequisites for displaying the optional "check entities against this Schema" link on the Schema page:
- In your "LocalSettings.php", set
$wgEntitySchemaShExSimpleUrl
to a non-empty string which represents the external verification tool to use (e.g. https://tools.wmflabs.org/shex-simple/wikidata/doc/shex-simple.html). - The link is only displayed on pages where the Schema text is not empty

This extension is being used on one or more Wikimedia projects. This probably means that the extension is stable and works well enough to be used by such high-traffic websites. Look for this extension's name in Wikimedia's CommonSettings.php and InitialiseSettings.php configuration files to see where it's installed. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki can be seen on the wiki's Special:Version page. |
