The Add HTML Meta and Title extension allows for easier SEO (search engine optimization) with MediaWiki. It is based in part on the extension MetaKeywordsTag .

Usage

When you enter the following in a wiki page: 

<seo title="word1,word2" metakeywords="word3,word4" metadescription="word5,word6" google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

...or the shorter... 

<seo title="word1,word2" metak="word3,word4" metad="word5,word6" google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

...these words are added to the HTML title and meta headers. This makes SEO (search engine optimization) with MediaWiki easier.

For example, the above would become: 

<title>word1,word2 - Wiki Name</title>         (the string "word1,word2" replaces page title)
<meta name="keywords" content="word3,word4" />
<meta name="description" content="word5,word6" />
<meta google-site-verification="123456789-abfd123456" />

(These are new meta tags - existing metas are left untouched.)

Changelog

v0.7.0
  • added support for PHP CodeSniffer checks.
  • fixed any remaining errors and warnings.
v0.6.0
  • added Google's site verification tag.
v0.5.1
  • modified to work with MW versions 1.1.2 and up (Revision by Mic)
v0.4.0
  • have put $emt=""; in the parseSEO function because I got some nasty PHP notice for an unitialised variable...
v0.2.0
  • added htmlspecialchars() as a filter to the text that is displayed in the title and meta - anything else needed to prevent malicious people? I think no. (If you are an English speaker you may want to use the htmlentities PHP function, which is more restrictive.)
v0.1.0
  • Initial version - everything works.
