AtMentions allows to quickly mention and notify a user from the VisualEditor menu. Users can be mentioned to create tasks.

Usage

If you mention a user on a page, the user's name is inserted as a mention-item. To mention a user:

  1. Select the Mention menu item in the editor toolbar.
  2. Enter a user name. The mention is added to the page.

The user is notified of the mention, because it creates a link to the user's profile page. Users can change their notification settings for mentions in their preference. By default, users get in-wiki notifications, but no email notifications.

Installation

Install Extension:OOJSPlus first, since it is required.

  • Download and move the extracted AtMentions folder to your extensions/ directory.

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