From Freephile Wiki
This is a property of type Text.
F
Allows templates to have associated CSS stylesheets stored as sanitized CSS pages. Enables modular styling per template without cluttering site-wide CSS, improving performance and maintainability. +
Provides API for extracting plain text summaries and snippets from pages. Used by various extensions and applications to generate page previews, summaries, and search result snippets. +
Allows users to send thanks to other editors for their contributions. Promotes positive community interaction by providing a simple way to acknowledge helpful edits and good contributions. +
Prevents creation of pages with titles matching blacklist patterns. Blocks spam and unwanted pages by filtering page names against regex patterns, preventing common spam page titles. +
Provides WYSIWYG editing interface for wiki pages. Enables users to edit pages without learning wikitext syntax, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry for new editors while maintaining clean underlying markup. +
Provides enhanced wikitext editing toolbar with formatting buttons, search/replace, and syntax highlighting. Improves the traditional source editing experience with helpful tools while maintaining full wikitext control. +
G
Gadgets are enhancements to MediaWiki, made of javascript and CSS; but not written as full-blown extensions. +
H
<code>[[wp:Manual:$wgRawHtml|Manual:$wgRawHtml]]</code> allows editors to use HTML in page, making content re-use easier. +
I
You can search all linked webs directly from the search box. Just enter the web prefix, followed by a colon. '''<code>google: bananas</code>''' searches Google for "bananas" and takes you there. +
shorthand for making links to popular websites or other wikis that have a reliable pattern +
L
Lua is used to give template authors more functionality than available through [[Parser functions]]. The debate to use [[JavaScript]] or [[Lua]] was settled in 2012. Lua can be used to analyze data, calculate expressions, and format results using functions stored in so-called 'modules' in the wiki. +
M
The User Merge and Delete extension allows site administrators to easily manage contributions from defunct authors. +
A diagramming language. Make diagrams and flowcharts for documentation, easier. With simple syntax, create sophisticated diagrams, flowcharts, GANTT Charts etc. +
Semantic MediaWiki is a large extension of the MediaWiki ecosystem. In wikis where it is deployed such as this one, you can have semantics (meaning) attached to your words and data so that the words and data are meaningful to the system. Your content becomes a database. +
N
Using the namespaces feature of MediaWiki, you can setup areas that segregate content. Although MediaWiki is not a CMS designed for roles and access permissions, it nevertheless can be useful to segregate content in a wiki that should be 'nearby', but not in the same space. +
Allows site administrators flexible powers to delete content. You can mass delete articles by title, user, or ip address. +
P
Page Components is the name I'm using for a visual design system that lets '''Users''' easily author pages with various "blocks" or "elements" on the page. The goal is to come up with a re-usable and easy-to-use system in [[MediaWiki]] software. MediaWiki is famously not a CMS, but more like a collaborative complex construction kit. Because the system is virtually unlimited and powerful, we would like to provide a pre-packaged "best way" to use that power without needing to be a power user and when there is TIMTOWTDI. +
There are built-in functions; and there are additional functions enabled by the [[mw:Extension:ParserFunctions]] +
