Interesting Extensions[edit | edit source]
- We are the developers of the [1] extension which lets you import HTML web pages into your wiki.
- mw:Extension:QuickLink should be updated. It provides an easy way to link to other articles while editing.
- mw:Extension:TitleKey ([2] ) is written by Brion Vibber and offers interesting capability that is used on some/all? MW sites. Also, since it interacts with the MW internal search, it's a good example of how to create an extension that hooks into the search functionality. The TitleKey extension provides a case-insensitive title prefix search. It uses a separate table for the keys, so if it works cleanly it can be deployed without an expensive rebuild of core tables, and dumped when Wikimedia gets a nicer backend through Extension:LuceneSearch (pre 1.13) or Extension:MWSearch (1.13+). Note that MediaWiki has stopped using LuceneSearch and is now using mw:Extension:CirrusSearch which interfaces to wp:Elasticsearch (which is based on Lucene) on the backend. For the average site administrator, the benefit of this extension is that it allows search suggestions (e.g. from Opensearch API) to be case-insensitive.
- Uncyclopedia uses a lot of interesting extensions http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Special:Version

Notes on Installed Extensions[edit | edit source]
Add Images[edit | edit source]
An extension found at wikia (also called WikiaMiniUpload?), it allows you to add images from Flickr, the web, and those already uploaded to your local wiki. It also adds a new button to the editor (a feature lacking in the standard editor). Video and instructions at http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Add_Images
DataTable2[edit | edit source]
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DataTable2 essentially does the converse of Semantic Media Wiki. Instead of storing data on multiple pages, which can then be queried and displayed, this extension allows for saving data in a single (or multiple) page and reusing that data on multiple pages.

ParserFunctions[edit | edit source]
Interwiki[edit | edit source]
The Interwiki Extension has been added which makes it easy to manipulate the interwiki table. http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialInterwiki But what is the Interwiki table you say? The Interwiki table sets up internal namespaces making it convenient for authors to create links to other wikis. For example, you can link to a Wikipedia article with the following syntax:
[[WikiPedia:Thomas_Jefferson]] .
There is a long list of wikis and sites already included in the Interwiki table.
Semantic Bundle[edit | edit source]
A great way to get all the goodness of SMW in an easy way.
