This extension is incompatible with MediaWiki 1.42 or any later release! You are advised against using this extension on a live site. Reason: Rewritten header HTML generation in MediaWiki 1.42 causes the extension to silently fail. See Extension talk:Tabs/Flow export#h-Deprecated_in_MediaWiki_1.42-20240709134500 for more information. MediaWiki developers are invited to pledge their efforts to updating this extension to make it compatible with MediaWiki 1.43 by replacing the {{Incompatible }} template with {{Incompatible |version=1.42|pledge=~~~~}}.

The Tabs extension makes it possible to insert tab menus, dropdown menus, and collapsible boxes into any page, using the ‎<tabs /> and ‎<tab> tags, or the {{#tab:}} parser function. This extension requires no JavaScript to work, except for older browsers such as Internet Explorer 8 and lower as a CSS :checked polyfill. As opposed to other extensions, this independence from JavaScript results in having no flash of unstyled content when the page loads.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted Tabs 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/Tabs
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Tabs' );
  

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