Template:MW file

MediaWiki file: {{{1}}}
Location:	/
Source code:	master • 1.33.1 • 1.32.5 • 1.31.5
Classes:	Find code • Find documentation

Usage

Displays an informative box about a file in MediaWiki core, with links to its source code in master, stable, and legacy branches, and links to its classes and interfaces in the generated PHP documentation.

{{MW file|FILENAME|PATH
|class1=CLASS
|class2=CLASS
|class3=CLASS
|...
|interface1=INTERFACE
|interface2=INTERFACE
|interface3=INTERFACE
|NotInGit=REASON
}}

• FILENAME is the name of the file, including extension.
  • If the file has been recently renamed, you can use the <tvar|stable>stable= and the <tvar|legacy>legacy= parameters to provide the old name so links work; you'll need to update the template invocation as the release in which the file was renamed moves from master->stable->legacy.
• PATH is the path to the file; do not include a leading slash, include the trailing slash. Leave it blank for files in the root directory.
• The class arguments are all optional, and if supplied will link to the generated documentation. CLASS should be the class name, as used in the URL. E.g. "Parser" would generate a link to "classParser.html". The template allows up to six class parameters, class1-class6
• INTERFACE is similar. The template allows up to three interface parameters
• The NotInGit argument is optional and should only be used if the file is not in [[<tvar|git>Special:MyLanguage/Git|Git]] for some reason (I think this only applies to LocalSettings.php). REASON is the reason that is displayed in the infobox. Note that NotInGit is case sensitive!

The [[<tvar|manual>Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Contents|Manual]] uses this template extensively.
