README

Semantic Scribunto (a.k.a. SSC) is a Semantic Mediawiki extension to provide native support for the Scribunto extension.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or later
• MediaWiki 1.43 or later
• Semantic MediaWiki 7.0 or later

Installation

The recommended way to install Semantic Scribunto is using Composer with MediaWiki's built-in support for Composer.

Note that the required extensions Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto must be installed first according to the installation instructions provided.

Step 1

Change to the base directory of your MediaWiki installation. If you do not have a "composer.local.json" file yet, create one and add the following content to it:

{
	"require": {
		"mediawiki/semantic-scribunto": "~7.0"
	}
}

If you already have a "composer.local.json" file add the following line to the end of the "require" section in your file:

"mediawiki/semantic-scribunto": "~7.0"

Remember to add a comma to the end of the preceding line in this section.

Step 2

Run the following command in your shell:

php composer.phar update --no-dev

Note if you have Git installed on your system add the --prefer-source flag to the above command.

Step 3

Add the following line to the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:

wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticScribunto' );
