TheSiteMatrix extension adds a special page with a matrix of all sites of the Wikimedia Foundation. First a table of all normal language wikis, with blue links for existing wikis and red links for non-existing wikis. Below a list of other special projects (like Meta, Commons, Wikimania, ...), mostly the sites like*.wikimedia.org. It also adds a NUMBEROFWIKIS parserfunction which shows the total number of wikis[1].

Done – Navigate toSpecial:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.There are some variables that you need to change:
$wgSiteMatrixFile - The path to a list of language codes recognised by MediaWiki (example).$wgSiteMatrixPrivateSites - The path to a list of wiki databases that are private(optional)$wgSiteMatrixFishbowlSites - The path to a list of wiki databases that are public, but only logged in users can edit.(optional)$wgSiteMatrixClosedSites - The path of a list of wiki databases that "closed"(optional)You would also need to customise$wgSiteMatrixSites to list the different wikis in your own wikifarm. To add a new site, follow the template inextension.json as a guide (but be sure to convert the syntax to PHP). As this has been removed for better compatibility, use the code below as a reference:
"wiki": {"name": "Wikipedia","host": "www.wikipedia.org","prefix": "w"},"wiktionary": {"name": "Wiktionary","host": "www.wiktionary.org","prefix": "wikt"}To ensure that the extension works correctly to your needs, there are a few dependencies to this extension:
$wgLocalDatabases - To tell the extension all the wiki databases that exist in your wikifarm.$wgConf - To feed the extension with the correct links to the different wikis in your wikifarm.This extension adds an API module that provides the same information asSpecial:SiteMatrix: a set of language groups plus special wikis.
