Referred Code The following elements can be used to insert metadata. Although not strictly required, you should define at least the `<name>`, `<author>`, `<version>` and `<description>` tags, all of which are used on the default administrator Manage Extensions form. ```xml <name> – extension name (e.g. com_banners); <author> – author's name (e.g. Joomla! Project); <creationDate> – date of creation or release (e.g., April 2006); <copyright> – a copyright statement (e.g., (C) 2020 - 2030 Open Source Matters. All rights reserved.); <license> – a license statement (e.g., GNU General Public License version 3 or later; see LICENSE.txt); <authorEmail> – author's email address (e.g., [email protected]); <authorUrl> – URL to the author's website (e.g., www.joomla.org); <version> – the version number of the extension (e.g., 1.6.0); <description> – the description of the component (may be shown as a tooltip on the admin Manage Extensions page); <element> – the internal name of the component. If omitted, the file name (without extension) will be cleaned and used. The <name> and <description> fields are translatable. If you use language strings for these elements, then they should be defined in your language .sys.ini file AND your .ini file.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
Possible issue	Resolve contradictory documentation for element fallback Resolve the contradiction in the documentation for the tag's fallback behavior. The priority list states the fallback is the tag, while the description says it's the file name. versioned_docs/version-6.0/building-extensions/install-update/installation/manifest.md [109] -<element> – the internal name of the component. If omitted, the file name (without extension) will be cleaned and used. +<element> – the internal name of the component. If omitted, the value from the <name> tag will be cleaned and used. Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies a significant contradiction in the documentation between the priority list (lines 71-74) and the description of the <element> tag, which was modified in this PR. This inconsistency could confuse users.	Medium
