Editing Battlestar Wiki:Extensions

{{Project}}

'''Battlestar Wiki''' makes use of some custom-programmed extensions for its own purposes that are ''not'' part of the [[Mw:Manual:Extensions|MediaWiki extension repository]]. They are listed below.

== Extension: SourceSwitcher ==
The '''SourceSwitcher''' extension allows for [[BW:CITE|in-line episode citations]] to show up in one of two ways, as defined by a preference in each user's preferences (see: [[Special:Preferences]]):

# Seen directly ''inline'' with article text:
{{Quote
| text = {{TOS|Adama}} is the commander of the last {{TOS|battlestar}}, ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' ([[TOS]]: "[[Saga of a Star World]]").
}}
# Referenced as a ''footnote citation'' using the MediaWiki's citation system:
{{Quote
| text = {{TOS|Adama}} is the commander of the last {{TOS|battlestar}}, ''{{TOS|Galactica}}'' <ref group="episodes">([[TOS]]: "[[Saga of a Star World]]")</ref>.
}}

These rely on JavaScript on the client-side ("user", i.e. you) and not server-side ("BattlestarWiki.org") in order to work. By default the "'''Inline'''" option is selected for all users, including those that are not logged in.

=== Changing Source Display Preferences ===
To make use of this feature, you must [[Special:UserLogin|either log-in to your existing account]] or [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]]. 

Once logged-in:

# Go to [[Special:Preferences]] by clicking on the "user" symbol (the icon with a featureless head atop rounded shoulders) at the bottom of your browser.
# This will open a small pop-up menu. Click the line item that features a cog wheel with '''Preferences''' on it. <br/>[[File:Battlestar Wiki Preferences Pane.png|frameless]]
# On the Preference's menu, click on the  "Appearance" tab. <br/>[[File:Battlestar Wiki - Appearances Tab on Preferences Page.png]]
# Scroll down until you see the '''Source Display''' section, then choose one of the two options. <br/>[[File:Battlestar Wiki - Source Display Section on Preferences Page.png]]
# Once you select your option, click '''Save.'''
