The following extensions are installed on OpenWetware:

- Biblio: for citing from PubMed
- Calendar: extension for fancy calendars

- 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.

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)
