One of the Wikivoyage extensions. Apparently used to list volunteer tour guides for travel destinations.

Installation

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

  wfLoadExtension( 'Insider' );
  

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

Usage

Once installed a magic word is available. When used on a page it will create a sidebar like so:

{{ #insider:Foo }}

This extension is being used on one or more Wikimedia projects. This probably means that the extension is stable and works well enough to be used by such high-traffic websites. Look for this extension's name in Wikimedia's CommonSettings.php and InitialiseSettings.php configuration files to see where it's installed. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki can be seen on the wiki's Special:Version page.
