How To Install MediaWiki 'Notes' Extension


I'm using MediaWiki 1.32 and I've been trying to get the Template:Note to work. From what I gathered, I don't have the Note template installed in my wiki/extensions folder.

My goal is to create Info/Warning/Danger type of short notes (with a small icon) similar to the ones found at the top of the following page.

If this extension is not available, are there any similar Note Extensions I could download/install. Or should I create this Note's effect using MediaWiki Table manually, as described below?

{|class="wikitable"
 | [[File:Info-icon.png]]
 | This Message is the least ugliest fancy table
|}

Solution

  • Question starts to date but anyway...

    You don't need any extension to do that, just use a template, lets call it Template:Note, with this content:

    <includeonly>{|class="wikitable"
     | [[File:Info-icon.png]]
     | {{{1}}}
    |}</includeonly>
    

    And call it as follows:

    {{Note|This Message is the least ugliest fancy table}}
