The Info extension adds an info tab on all normal pages, that allows us to display the site information quickly.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Info in your extensions/ folder.
• Only when installing from Git, run Composer to install PHP dependencies, by issuing composer install --no-dev in the extension directory. (See T173141 for potential complications.)Category:Extensions requiring Composer with git
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Info' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Configure if required
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

This extension comes with an extra user right called "info" to allow fine grained control of its usage. By default it is assigned to the "user" user group, i.e. to all users with an account who are logged in. In case you would like to also assign it to anonymous users for them to make use of page info display functionality without the need of a post add the following code to your "LocalSettings.php" file right after invoking this extension:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['info'] = true;

Revoking the permission for the "user" user group and granting it at the same time only to the "sysop" user group may be done by adding the following two lines:

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['info'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['info'] = true;

This extension was migrated from git.suriyaa.tk code and checked into a GitHub software repository.
