$adwmglobalkeywords = [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ];

Permission
- "advancedmeta-edit"
- By default sysops and bureaucrats have this permission allowing to edit meta elements. To give the group user edit permissions, set
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['advancedmeta-edit'] = true;
Compatibility
It is expected that this extension does not play with extensions that also work with keywords and descriptions. It is moreover incompatible with maintenance script "ImportImages.php".
