Layers Extension

[edit ]

I am the primary developer for the Extension:Layers , a non-destructive image editor and markup tool designed specifically for MediaWiki environments.

The core philosophy of Layers is to **eliminate the need for external image editing software**. By allowing users to annotate and modify images directly within the browser, we maintain a faster, more collaborative workflow.

Key Features

[edit ]
  • Non-Destructive Editing: The original uploaded file is never modified. All changes are stored as metadata.
  • Layer-Based Annotations: All mark-ups (text, shapes, highlights) are rendered as overlay layers.
  • Multiple Layer Sets: A single image can host various "layer sets," allowing for different versions (e.g., "Educational Labels," "Technical Specs," or "Redactions") without duplicating the base file.
  • Seamless Integration: Designed to feel like a native part of the MediaWiki interface.


Syntax & Usage

[edit ]

To invoke a specific layer set on an image, use the following syntax in your wiki code:

[[File:image.png|layerset=layer set name]]
