Help:WidgetTag/parameters

From Wikia Help

An overview of WidgetTag parameters.

Specify values for any of these parameters just as you would for an attribute in any standard HTML tag. viz.

<widget param1=value1 param2=value2>WidgetName</widget>
  • Suppose you defined at MediaWiki:Favorites a custom WikiPage widget and when that widget is displayed in the side bar it bears the label "Manage Favorites". To display that custom widget in a page body use:
    <widget title=Favorites name=Manage Favorites>WikiPage</widget>
    Note that the standard widget skin (or frame) is not displayed when widget tags are used in a page and therefore the label specified by name does not get used in a page.

WikiPage

name
type=string
desc=the title of your widget (only used in sidebar widgets, not embed)
default = 'Wiki Page'
title
type=string
desc=the name of the page that your widget will feed from
default: widgetwikipage

Note: this will try to match to "MediaWiki:<YOURINPUT>" first, if it fails, it will look for a page named "<YOURINPUT>"

The default widget contents come from w:c:messaging:MediaWiki:widgetwikipage, which is why the default is 'widgetwikipage'

Admins can edit MediaWiki:widgetwikipage to have better default instructions on how to setup their widget.
