cd ~/richud.com/w/extensions
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Widgets.git

composer update --no-dev

Make sure ~/richud.com/w/extensions/Widgets/compiled_templates is writable by www-data

LocalSettings.php add

wfLoadExtension( 'Widgets' ); $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['editwidgets'] = true;

DISQUS Widget

http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/DISQUS

Need to install Widgets plugins, then create two pages (although template doesn't need to be can just cut n paste the widget code (starting {{#widget:DISQUS ...) in to a page directly)

1) Create http://www.richud.com/wiki/Widget:DISQUS

Cut n paste code from http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/w/index.php?title=Widget:DISQUS&action=edit into URL above (create page)

2) Create template http://www.richud.com/wiki/Template:DISQUS

Cut n paste into URL above (Create page), "replace id with site shortname"

{{#widget:DISQUS
|id=yourid
|uniqid={{PAGENAME}}
|url={{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}}}
}}

After doing these two steps can then embedded a a Disqus page with just this template reference in the page

{{DISQUS}}
