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 [https://github.com/debtcompliance/mediawiki/tree/master/extensions private Debt Compliance GitHub repo]; and the Organic Design extensions are in the [https://github.com/OrganicDesign/extensions/tree/master/MediaWiki 'MediaWiki' tree of the Organic Design GitHub repo].

=== Installed extensions ===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`
