The following extensions are installed on OpenWetware:

  • Dewikify: for helping with dewikifying
  • Recentchangesfilter: extension that augments the recent changes list with the ability for complex filtering
  • PartsRegistry: for connecting with the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Use the bbpart tag such as <bbpart>B0010</bbpart> to get <bbpart>B0010</bbpart>
  • UserDefaultPage: allow users to change their default page in their preferences
  • Biblio: for citing from PubMed
  • Calendar: extension for fancy calendars
  • ShowHide extension to dynamically show/hide sections
  • Dynamic Page List v.2 Can dynamically create lists of pages that are in multiple categories. Can also use to generate a list of the most edited pages in the last x hours.
  • Special:Editcount: Show edit stats for users. Can be linked as [[Special:Editcount/user]] and included {{Special:Editcount/user}}
  • Dynamic Article List - would allow us to dynamically generate lists of the most popular articles, newest articles etc. Check out the sandbox for a test.

Go to Special:Version to see the definitive list of installed extensions and their versions.

Desirable or pending extensions

List extensions you would like to install here and vote or de-vote for ones you'd like. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mediawiki_Extensions for some extensions.

  • WikiDrops: Add to the top of pages automatically a 'breadcrumbs' path back to the main page.
  • Watch a group of pages (similar to Recentchangesfilter) for even pages that don't exist yet (i.e. all calendar pages) or be able to choose to receive email on changes. Perhaps a calendar specific email notifying system.
  • Allow users to add custom links to their sidebar. Perhaps allow users to specify a group that have a set of links. Randy wants this for iGEM.
  • Modify show/hide extension so it works when printing.
  • navimages: for allowing images to link to any URL (was uninstalled as it wasn't working)
