• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ReportIncident' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

See Help:Extension:ReportIncident for how to use the extension's functionality.
