Extension inventory
From Freephile Wiki
This page serves to inventory and assess the mix of extensions that are in use for the DCS wiki. Code for "regular" extensions are hosted on Gerrit at the WMF (which is also mirrored to GitHub) with documentation at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki. Code for the DCS extensions is in the private Debt Compliance GitHub repo; and the Organic Design extensions are in the 'MediaWiki' tree of the Organic Design GitHub repo.
"Regular" Extensions[edit]
| Extension | Used by WMF projects? | What does it do? | Maintenance / Last release | Used by Meza | Used by QualityBox | Alternative Extension |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CirrusSearch | YES | Extends the core search for MediaWiki to be able to use Elasticsearch | Continuous | Yes | Yes | |
| Cite | Bundled | Provides <references /> and <ref></ref> tags | Continuous | Yes | Yes | |
| CiteThisPage | Bundled | Provides Cite This Page Special Page. | Continuous | No | Yes | UNUSED |
| ConfirmEdit | Bundled | Adds CAPTCHAs for page saves and other user actions to protect against spam and password-guessing | Continuous | No | Yes | UNUSED |
| Elastica | YES | Base Elasticsearch functionality by providing the Elastica library; required by CirrusSearch. | Continuous | Yes | Yes | |
| Gadgets | Bundled | Provides a way for users to pick JavaScript or CSS based "gadgets" that other wiki users provide. | Continuous | No | Yes | UNUSED |
| ImageMap | Bundled | The ImageMap extension allows clickable image maps. | Continuous | Yes | Yes | UNUSED |
| InputBox | Bundled | The InputBox extension adds already created HTML forms to wiki pages. | Continuous | Yes | Yes | UNUSED |
| Interwiki | Bundled | The Interwiki extension adds the "Special:Interwiki" page to MediaWiki, to view and edit the interwiki table, and a log of any actions made with it. | Continuous | Yes | Yes | UNUSED |
| LocalisationUpdate | Bundled | allows to update the localizations for MediaWiki messages at any time, without needing to upgrade the MediaWiki software. | Continuous | No | No | UNUSED |
| Nuke | Bundled | The Nuke extension makes it possible for sysops to mass delete pages. | Continuous | No | Yes | For whatever reason, the DCSNuke extension intercepts page requests for the Nuke special page. DCSNuke has no added functionality. The DCSNuke code is roughly equivalent to the REL1_20 release of Nuke; and the current Nuke extension offers more functionality. I thought that potentially the reason to use a cloned extension was to totally customize the interface language strings, but that's not the case[1]. Remove DCSNuke. |
