Wiki Widgets

From Hexten

Wiki Widgets are extensions for MediaWiki that provide simple ways to embed information from other sources within a wiki page. For example here's a Google Map:

To insert that on the page this markup was used:

 
  <widget type="googlemap">
      <marker lat="54.786953" lon="-2.344154">
          My House
      </marker>
  </widget>
