  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'LinkSuggest2' );

Configuration parameters

[edit]
$wgLinkSuggestMaxSuggestions
The maximum amount of suggestions to show for each link (default 3).
$wgEnableEditFormLinkSuggest
Whether to enable LinkSuggest on edit forms (default true).

Extending

[edit]

The extension exposes a simple API which can be used by other extensions to add LinkSuggest support to arbitrary elements:

LinkSuggest::singleton()->addSelectors( array(  '#foo', '.bar', '.my-extension textarea' ) );
