The NamespaceHTML extension allows raw HTML in specified namespaces. It is intended to work just like the $wgRawHtml setting. The difference is that this extension allows specifying which namespace(s) should be able to contain raw HTML, which allows administrators to restrict raw HTML to namespaces with sufficient edit protections.

This extension was created for WikiWorks.

Usage

Embed raw html within ‎<html>...‎</html> tags. See Manual:$wgRawHtml for more information.

As a template

The extension allows inclusion from namespaces where HTML is allowed to namespaces where HTML is not. You can create a custom script namespace and allow HTML in that namespace. Then you can create pages in the script namespace that contain safe scripts which can be transcluded into any page.

Technically, you can use the #tag parser function to pass parameters to the template. See here for an example. However, it is a better idea to use the Widgets extension for that.
