The Ajax Show Editors extension allows you to see who is editing a page that you're editing at the same time. The extension displays a box containing other users' user names on action=edit (as well as on preview, action=submit).

Installation

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called AjaxShowEditors in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file: 
    wfLoadExtension( 'AjaxShowEditors' );
  • Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

The extension has only one configuration variable, $wgAjaxShowEditorsTimeout; its default value is 60 (seconds); it's the timeout in seconds after which a user is considered as no longer editing the page in question.
