This page instructs you to installExtension:CheckUser insideMediaWiki-Docker.

Follow theQuickstart instructions at MediaWiki-Docker page.Once MediaWiki is running and available athttp://localhost:8080, then continue with instructions on this page.

All commands should be run in the directory where you installed MediaWiki.All mentioned files are also located there.

gitclone"https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/CheckUser"extensions/CheckUsergitclone"https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/skins/Vector"skins/Vector

Add this tocomposer.local.json:

{"extra":{"merge-plugin":{"include":["extensions/CheckUser/composer.json"]}}}

Alternatively copy

mvcomposer.local.json-samplecomposer.local.json

As this will include all extensions' composer.json files by default.

Run:

dockercomposeexecmediawikicomposerupdate

If not already there, add this to the end ofLocalSettings.php.

wfLoadExtension('CheckUser');wfLoadSkin('Vector');

dockercomposeexecmediawikiphpmaintenance/run.phpupdate.php

To be able to access the data provided by the CheckUser extension, you will need an account with the checkuser group.This can be done using the script where<username> is replaced with the username of an existing account you want to give the checkuser rights.

dockercomposeexecmediawikiphpmaintenance/run.phpcreateAndPromote.php<username>[password]--custom-groupscheckuser

Alternatively standard installations should allow granting the checkuser rights by any bureaucrat.

To effectively test the CheckUser extension, you may desire to insert fake testing data to the results tables.This can be done by running thepopulateCheckUserTablesWithSimulatedData.php maintenance script.You must change add$wgCheckUserDeveloperMode = true; to yourLocalSettings.php file to use the script.The first argument for the script is the number of testing actions to insert, which if not specified defaults to 1000.

Warning:

This will create real revisions and create entries in Special:Log. Do not use this on a production wiki.
