|At the bottom of the Special:Version page, you'll see a list of "Parser Function Hooks" that includes the following custom parser functions defined by DCS extensions: '''amendments''', '''companycomments''', '''compliancechecklist''', '''loans''', '''loansinuse''', '''section'''. Many of the others are provided by the Parser Functions extension: if, ifeq, switch, ifexist, ifexpr, iferror, time, timel, expr, rel2abs, titleparts, len, pos, rpos, sub, count, replace, explode

|[[mw:Extension:Pipe_Escape|PipeEscape]]
|Adds ammendments section to DCS loan pages. Sysop (only) can add/delete/edit/re-order (up/down) the ammendments; UX [https://github.com/debtcompliance/mediawiki/blob/master/extensions/DcsAmmendments/modules/dcsammendments.js implemented in JavaScript]. Extends the API with the same functions. Adds new log type: amendments; and logs all actions.

|This extension allows the utilization column of the Baskets tables to be edited directly using AJAX and saving values into 'basket' tables rather than in the traditional wiki-text revision tables.
|1.4.3, 2018-05-25
| no| no| no
|"Baskets" can be found in the hierarchy list of the leftnav under the 'Compliance' folder. The page name, by convention, is 'Baskets' e.g. https://clienttest.dm.dcstemporary.com/Baskets This is really neat, and very advanced. However, now that Visual Editor is available, I'd suspect that the user experience of editing large tables in Visual Editor would be much better. '''Replace Baskets with Visual Editor'''
|-
The 'common' extension creates a singleton instance of the DcsCommon class that does a bunch of things according to [https://github.com/debtcompliance/mediawiki/wiki/Extensions#dcscommon notes in the wiki]. The permissions shouldn't really be hidden away in the class code. They should simply be in LocalSettings.php. onUserGetRights() is a big function. The 'self:cache' is mostly called in connection with 'isLocal'. Any true caching should just be offloaded to APC and memcache. Although there is no 'dcs' table in the database on dcsTemporary, the [https://github.com/debtcompliance/mediawiki/blob/master/extensions/DcsCommon/DcsCommon.php#L653 setData()] method is used throughout the codebase so should update [https://github.com/debtcompliance/mediawiki/wiki/Extensions#dcscommon wiki] about where this data is stored.

|integrates with the API, however I'm unsure where it's visible/usable to the user. I believe it's used from the Ruby side to create links that will match a wiki page even if there is a case mismatch. If you wish to navigate to https://clienttest.dm.dcstemporary.com/ARCA14:TOC but request https://clienttest.dm.dcstemporary.com/arca14:toc instead, you'll get a 404 Not Found error. If you request https://clienttest.dm.dcstemporary.com/arca14:toc?action=findtitle then you will be redirected to the proper article.

According to [https://github.com/debtcompliance/mediawiki/wiki/Extensions#dcsjobadmin the documentation], it allows you to manage jobs. But, I'm wondering how much this is actually used? The job queue should be run automatically by cron, and the administrative user shouldn't have to worry about it really. If there is a usage pattern where job execution is time sensitive, there is a use for an Admin function; but I'm curious about the usage patterns that create large or numerous jobs. Otherwise, set wgJobRunRate to zero, and put it into cron `0 0 * * * root /usr/bin/php /var/www/example.com/www/w/maintenance/runJobs.php > /var/log/runJobs.log 2>&1`

|creates "backlinks" which are links to content that contain a particular keyword or phrase found in a loan document. It also creates the <nowiki>"< Prev" and "Next >"</nowiki> navigation links (called 'breadcrumbs' in the code, but actually these are 'pager' links not breadcrumbs).
|recent
| no| no| no
|If you go to a page like https://clienttest.dm.dcstemporary.com/ARCA14:Agreement You will see a large section of content called '''Index to ARCA14 pages containing "Agreement""'' So, in other words, it's a list of links to pages of the ARCA14 loan that have the word "Agreement" in them. These links are created by the extension.
