  1. Copy the goto.php extension in the extensions/goto.php of your <goto>mediawiki</goto> installation.
  2. Append the following couple of lines at the end of your wiki's LocaSettings.php file:

include("extensions/goto.php");

That's it!

Syntax

Simply embed the search snippet using the <goto> tag in your wiki:

<goto>goto for your wiki</goto>             <goto>goto for your wiki</goto>
