On the command line, go to your wiki's root directory. Then run these two commands: ``` COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update professional-wiki/page-approvals:~2.0 ``` ``` composer update professional-wiki/page-approvals --no-dev -o ``` Then enable the extension by adding the following to the bottom of your wikis [LocalSettings.php](https://www.pro.wiki/help/mediawiki-localsettings-php-guide) file: ``` wfLoadExtension( 'PageApprovals' ); ``` Run the [update script](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Update.php), which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs. You can verify the extension was enabled successfully by opening your wiki's Special:Version page. PHP Configuration ----------------- [](#php-configuration) Configuration can be changed via [LocalSettings.php](https://www.pro.wiki/help/mediawiki-localsettings-php-guide). See the [Page Approvals configuration reference](https://professional.wiki/en/extension/page-approvals#Configuration). Development ----------- [](#development) Run `composer install` in `extensions/PageApprovals/` to make the code quality tools available. ### Running Tests and CI Checks [](#running-tests-and-ci-checks) You can use the `Makefile` by running make commands in the `PageApprovals` directory. - `make ci`: Run everything - `make test`: Run all tests - `make phpunit --filter FooBar`: run only PHPUnit tests with FooBar in their name - `make phpcs`: Run all style checks - `make cs`: Run all style checks and static analysis - `make lint-docker`: Run all JavaScript and CSS linting ### Updating Baseline Files [](#updating-baseline-files) Sometimes Psalm and PHPStan generate errors or warnings we do not wish to fix. These can be ignored by adding them to the respective baseline file. You can update these files with `make stan-baseline` and `make psalm-baseline`. ### Inserting Test Data [](#inserting-test-data) ``` INSERT INTO approver_config (ac_user_id, ac_categories) VALUES (1, 'TestCat|TestCat2'); ``` Release Notes ------------- [](#release-notes) ### Version 2.2.0 - 2026-04-09 [](#version-220---2026-04-09) - Added support for MediaWiki 1.45 ### Version 2.1.1 - 2025-08-28 [](#version-211---2025-08-28) - Fixed an issue that caused the incorrect automatic unapproval of pages when using extensions like DisplayTitle ### Version 2.1.0 - 2025-08-06 [](#version-210---2025-08-06) - Added [Admin Links](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Admin_Links) integration - Added ability to add intro text to the `Special:ManageApprovers` page via `MediaWiki:Ext-pageapprovals-manage-intro` ### Version 2.0.0 - 2025-08-01 [](#version-200---2025-08-01) - Raided the minimum MediaWiki version from 1.39 to 1.43 - Added support for MediaWiki 1.44 - Improved approval UI - More integrated look-and-feel for the approval badge and dropdown (by using Codex components) - Timestamp moved into the tooltip for cleaner presentation - Always show a fully up-to-date timestamp (by generating it via JavaScript) - Improved handling for the Vector 2022 skin ### Version 1.0.0 - 2024-10-28 [](#version-100---2024-10-28) - Approval UI on regular wiki pages that shows the approval status and allows approvers to change said status - API endpoints to approve and unapprove pages - Automatic unapproval of pages when their displayed content changes - Detection of changes to displayed content via embedded constructs such as templates or SMW queries - Approver management page and associated MediaWiki right (Special:ManageApprovers) - Personalized list of pending approvals (Special:PendingApprovals) - Compatibility with MediaWiki 1.39 up to 1.43-dev - Compatibility with PHP 8.1 up to 8.3 ### Health Score 45 — FairBetter than 91% of packages Maintenance69 Regular maintenance activity Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
