Revision as of 10:26, 21 January 2016

Some extensions that I may choose to install.

  1. mw:Extension:WebChat used by the TranslateWiki.net community
  2. mw:Extension:Semantic_Maps (or plain maps) for use in displaying hikes, bike routes etc. However, need to discover the applicability of the solution to the problem.
  3. mw:Extension:WikiLove or mw:Extension:Thanks for community building
  4. mw:Extension:Cargo Cargo instead of SMW
  5. mw:Extension:UploadWizard A bulk uploader in JavaScript that not only would be useful here, but would also inform as to improvements for mw:Html2Wiki
  6. mw:Extension:MultimediaViewer a better multimedia viewer? (it's listed as being used on Commons) Certainly want to maximize the user experience in relation to Category:Graphics. There should be a better and faster way to browse images that are available in the wiki. Something that both supports thumbs and paging, and also something that supports something similar to using qiv through the browser.
