The AjaxComments extension replaces the Talk page functionality with comments at the bottom of a page.

Usage

This extension replaces the standard MediaWiki talk page functionality by allowing to add comments at the bottom of a page or replies to existing comments. Authors can edit or delete any of their comments without responses, and sysops can edit or delete any comments. Deleting a comment with replies will also remove all the answers to it.

Installation

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called AjaxComments in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: 
    wfLoadExtension( 'AjaxComments' );
  • Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
  • Configure as required.
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
