The LinkAttributes extension extends the link syntax to allow custom attributes, such as rel="author".
Usage
[edit]Extra attributes are added at the end of a link, separated with a pipe (|) or a broken pipe (¦), like this:
[http://www.twitter.com/me my Twitter account|rel=me]
or
[[User:Me|my userpage|rel=me]]
Allowed properties are: rel
, rev
, charset
, type
, hreflang
, itemprop
, itemscope
, media
, title
, accesskey
and target
.
In some places (such as inside templates with tables) the pipe can be hard to use, as it has special meanings to MediaWiki. Therefore a broken pipe (¦) will also work with this extension: Oranges¦itemprop=fruit
. Note that the following will NOT add an attribute: [[User:James|rel=author]]
. The extension has no way of knowing if rel=author
is supposed to be an attribute or the actual text to be linked, so the link would have to be written like this: [[User:James|James|rel=author]]
. Also note that after installing this extension, pipe characters will not work in link texts.
As itemscope
is HTML attribute without value, link have to be written like this: [[Page|Name|itemscope=]]
.
Installation

folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
