Page Chrome Configuration

Page chrome configuration controls which pages receive the tab section and footer that normally surround page content.

Description

By default, every page on this site displays:

A tab section at the bottom (Comments, Referring Pages, Footnotes) injected from Template:PageTabs
A footer rendered from the Footer page

Certain infrastructure pages — such as LeftMenu and Footer itself — should not display these elements. Two configuration properties control which pages are excluded.

Configuration Properties

Current Configuration Value

Key: ngdpbase.page.notabs

Value:

[
  "LeftMenu",
  "Footer",
  "Template:PageTabs"
]

Current Configuration Value

Key: ngdpbase.page.nofooter

Value:

[
  "LeftMenu",
  "Footer",
  "Template:PageTabs"
]

Property	Type	Default	Description
`ngdpbase.page.notabs`	string array	`["LeftMenu", "Footer", "Template:PageTabs"]`	Page names that do not receive the tab section
`ngdpbase.page.nofooter`	string array	`["LeftMenu", "Footer", "Template:PageTabs"]`	Page names that do not receive the footer

Page names are matched by title (case-sensitive). A page can appear in one list without the other — for example, a page might suppress tabs but still show a footer.

Customising the Lists

Add page names to either list in your instance configuration file (app-custom-config.json):

{
  "ngdpbase.page.notabs": ["LeftMenu", "Footer", "Template:PageTabs", "MyCustomPage"],
  "ngdpbase.page.nofooter": ["LeftMenu", "Footer", "Template:PageTabs", "MyCustomPage"]
}

Changes take effect after a server restart.

Notes

The tab section is also globally disabled by setting ngdpbase.tab.pagetabs to false.
The tab template used is configured via ngdpbase.tab.pagetabs.template (default: Template:PageTabs).
Pages in these lists are still fully editable and viewable — only the surrounding chrome is suppressed.
