Elanthipedia Extensions
Justin Wood (Callek)
The following Wiki extensions have been suggested, (and details about
each along with them)
* SpamBlackList -- [1] Helps prevent link-spam on wiki's
** Installed, though we seem to be missing a local-site spamblacklist itself [2]
** I recommend using the "meta" one (url'ed) as well as a local one,
so we can add "our own" blacklisted stuff to it, if we find we are
getting DR/Simu specific types of link spam. (possible)
* ParserFunctions -- [3] Allows conditional expresions for template use
** Installed, though we should explain this on elanthipedia somehow
(even the parserfunctions page has trouble doing it well)
* Newuserlog -- [4] Allows a log of new users to be created, and also
shown in Recent Changes.
** Installed, great
* Cite -- [5] Allows easy citation of references and other concepts
for where a particular fact came from.
** Problems Installing, why? (was [6] read?)
** Note, I don't think we need or want the Special Page Extension (if
you skim [7] you'll see why)
And lastly
* CategoryTree -- [8] Allows AJAXy display of Categories and
SubCategories, which is useful the way Elanthipedia seems to be being
set up.
** No information presented on if this was tried, or thought about.

is a bit tougher, but I don't see where using them together would be
handy (here).
"While the generated link can be excluded with «#ifexist:», the
reference still appears in the output of a <reference />."
and To copy an IRC chat:
<Callek> Pathoschild: don't suppose you know anything about Cite and
ParserFunctions compat?
<Pathoschild> Callek: Not much.
<Pathoschild> Callek: I suspect the incompatibility is related to bug
2257: Template parameters unavailable to parser hooks (
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2257 )
<Callek> *but* it does "work" together
<Callek> just can't use cite functions with parserfunctions basically??
* Pathoschild tests.
<Pathoschild> ParserFunctions work well in <ref>, but <ref> doesn't
work well in ParserFunctions.
<Pathoschild> For example, "{{#ifeq:1|2|<ref>true</ref>|false}}" will
add "true" to the references section even if the result is false.
<Callek> but both should be installable at once :-)
<Pathoschild> Yep.
* Pathoschild disambiguates the page.

but it is not active in the LocalSettings.php due to problems it
caused when it was activated.

about adding it in one of my own MW instalations, and see what it
takes to make it work "well enough for elanthipedia"

would gladly provide it, but the best thing I can do is activate it
and take a screenshot.
I will do that later tonight when traffic is much lighter.

Great, though I'd settle for a description of what is broken.

No rush, I won't be able to test/check until at the earliest tomorrow
night anyway.
