Usage notes

name

The name of the hook. This is usually the same name as the sub-page.

version

The version of MediaWiki this hook was first introduced in.

rev

SVN revision in which this hook was first introduced. If this parameter is given, it will link to the appropriate CodeReview page (e.g. r115794).

gerrit

Gerrit change number in which this hook was first introduced. If this parameter is given, it will link to the appropriate Gerrit changeset page (e.g., Gerrit change 5)

removed

If the hook has been removed, the version of MediaWiki that it was removed in.

deprecated

If the hook has been deprecated (but not removed), the version of MediaWiki that it was deprecated in.

summary

A short description of the hook's purpose.

More detailed descriptions are desirable, and should be added to the main page content.

If you update the short description, please also update the two tables on Manual:Hooks .

args

The arguments, as used at the top of the function.

extension

Extension name where hook is called; for when the source is not in the MediaWiki core code repository.

source

Location (file name) which calls this hook in the code. Further locations can be added via source2...source10.

sourcefunction

Name of the function which calls this hook. Another can be added via sourcefunction2.

sourceclass

Name of the class which calls this hook.

newvarname

Used by {{Removed}} or {{Deprecated}} when removed or deprecated is set.

newvarlink

Used by {{Removed}} or {{Deprecated}} when removed or deprecated is set.

templatemode

Set to nocats if hook documentation should not appear in standard MediaWiki Categories.

By default, using this template places the documentation page into categories:

• MediaWiki hooks
• Hooks added in MediaWiki...

There are times when it is undesirable to automatically categorize the hook documentation. Examples would include when documenting a hook in an extension, or when documenting the template itself.

nocatdesc

If a hook is removed completely from MediaWiki version by setting yes, it will not show up the category description.

Template data

A card which describes the information of a hook registered by an extension.
