The ContactPage extension implements a contact form for visitors. It creates a special page "Special:Contact", which is similar to "Special:EmailUser", but it has a fixed recipient, and may be used without registering.

• Download and move the extracted ContactPage folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ContactPage
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ContactPage' );
  $wgContactConfig['default'] = [
      'RecipientUser' => null, // Must be the name of a valid account which also has a verified e-mail-address added to it.
      'RecipientEmail' => 'Contact Form on ' . $wgSitename,  // 'Contact Form on' needs to be translated
      'RecipientName' => null,
      'SenderEmail' => null, // Defaults to $wgPasswordSender, may be changed as required
      'SenderName' => null,
      'RequireDetails' => false,
      'IncludeIP' => false,
      'MustBeLoggedIn' => false,
      'MustHaveEmail' => false, // True means the user submitting the form must have an associated email address
      'NameReadonly' => false,
      'EmailReadonly' => false,
      'SubjectReadonly' => false,
      'UseCustomBlockMessage' => false,
      'Redirect' => null,
      'RLModules' => [], // Resource loader modules to add to the form display page.
      'RLStyleModules' => [], // Resource loader CSS modules to add to the form display page.
      'AdditionalFields' => [
  		'Text' => [
  			'label-message' => 'emailmessage',
  			'type' => 'textarea',
  			'required' => true
  		]
  	],
  	'FieldsMergeStrategy' => null
  ];
  

• See the README file for further options to customize and adapt as it convenes.
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

$wgCaptchaTriggers['contactpage'] = true;

Users of some hosting providers such as SiteGround and Amazon SES may get a PHP mail error or one that says that the FROM email address is not configured in the server, despite $wgPasswordSender being configured correctly and other email functionality working as expected. A fix for this issue is described here .

• Extension:EmailPage - Allows sending fully rendered articles with embedded CSS to users, groups, or contact lists
• Extension:CIForms - Forms with auto-validation, multiple choice questions and cloze tests
