The ToDoList MediaWiki extension provides an ability to add checkboxes to wiki pages. The checkboxes states are stored in wikitext, and they can be checked or unchecked in "read" mode.
MediaWiki page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ToDoList
- Download extension to the extensions folder of your MediaWiki:
git clone https://github.com/Griboedow/ToDoList.git - Load the extension in LocalSettings.php
wfLoadExtension( 'ToDoList' );
To insert a checkbox, you can either insert <todo/> tag or go to Visual Editor, Insert->Checkbox:
After that you can even copy-paste (Ctr+C & Ctrl+V) to speedup inserting checkboxes.
To change checkbox state, save page and in "read" mode check on a checkbox.
It will create a page edit event, you can later see it in history:
- Transclusion is not supported. Checkboxes from transclusion will not be correctly checked-unchecked.
- If page is modified by another user, then checkbox click would cause a page refresh (with a wanring note about that)
