Installation and configuration

edit

The extension tested on MediaWiki 1.41. Probably it will work on 1.32+ (the used hooks are quite old and the newest part of it is OOUI which is still relatively old).

To install the extension:

  1. Clone the repository to your extensions/ subfolder: git clone https://github.com/Griboedow/NewPageTemplateSelector.git
  2. Load the extension in your LocalSettings.php: wfLoadExtension( 'NewPageTemplateSelector' );

Done!
