Installation

• Download and extract the tarball in your extensions/ folder. It should generate a new folder called MyVariables directly inside your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

require_once "$IP/extensions/MyVariables/MyVariables.php";

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

Note

• This extension should not be confused with the Variables extension, which allows the use of variables in the computer programming sense.
