MediaWiki is the software that powers websites like Wikipedia and, more modestly, various wikis that we run or where we collaborate. In particular, it powers this (laussy.org) website.
Unless you care about the underlying technical details, there is little to know about MediaWiki, but that it is managed by Wikimedia [1], a foundation that maintains and develops the work. Besides, this is worth knowing only for the pun on media and wiki to make up both the organization and its product.
This page is not about the wiki itself, which is the language to feed MediaWiki with.
If you care about the software, read on.
This is a long process that dispatch data back and forth from the database and format the output to the screen.
This page is still largely in progress.
Downloading from MediaWiki's Extensions web and following the instruction is the basic way. More convenient is:
cd extensions/ git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/YouTube
Then check the version:
cd YouTube git tab
Look for a tag like REL1_43, and if present:
git checkout REL1_43
And then add in LocalSettings.php the link to new functionalities: wfLoadExtension( 'YouTube' );
