JargonExtension

About
This is a Mediawiki extension that inserts JargonFile definitions on wiki pages.

Usage
The simplest way to do so is to insert   in a page, that will use the current page title as lookup term.

Alternatively you can use  something .

Pages using it are also automatically included in Category:Jargon.

ToDo
You can help here by going to a page that already uses it (--> Category:Jargon), clicking the red "Next" or "Prev" links and then simply inserting (and nothing else) into the new page.

[ ] Include all JargonFile terms as wiki pages (All)

Install
To install copy into ./extensions/JargonExtension.php and then include("extensions/JargonExtension.php"); in LocalSettings.php as usual with Mediawiki extensions.

The extension uses the Debian package jargon. apt-get install jargon. (Also see vh).
