Actually using the tag approach (or a parser func such as #iframe) is the preferred approach imo.
Using transcluded special pages disables parser cache by default which would have a negative impact on performance. Otherwise there is probably not much difference. Parser tags lets you interact with the mediawiki parser, which is often useful, but probably not for your extension. -- bawolff On Wednesday, November 29, 2017, Sigbert Klinke <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > to embed an iframe into a wiki page the above extension uses > > {{Special:IframePage|wiwi|path="examples?R=data/bivariate/chi2_coefficients/example_chi2coeff.R"}} > > I wrote a similar extension which is called by > > <iframe k="wiwi" p="examples?R=data/bivariate/chi2_coefficients/example_chi2coeff.R" /> > > I would like to know what would be the advantage of using {{Special:...}} rather than <iframe ... />. > > Thanks Sigbert > > -- > https://hu.berlin/sk > https://hu.berlin/mmstat3 > > _______________________________________________ > MediaWiki-l mailing list > To unsubscribe, go to: > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l > _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
