Suggestions for extensions to be integrated
An extension should be bundled with the installer after it has become extremely widely used. There are various schools of thought concerning other extensions. When deciding whether to integrate an extension into the core, one should consider the likelihood, if any, that extensions will be written that depend upon that functionality, and the prospects that it might be later desired to remove that functionality from the core, which would break those extensions. Extensions with uncommon external dependencies should generally not be bundled with the installer or integrated into the core.
While this page can be used for suggestions and discussion, actual work on bundling extensions in the installer happens on Phabricator, in T178349 and subtasks. For creating new tasks see /Checklist.

- Chameleon skin is a twitter boostrap based skin that can very easily be configured. Many third-party MW installations use it. Often mobile/desktop versions are not wanted, but a responsive design.

I think CodeMirror is an obvious candidate for bundling - it's a widely-used extension (including on most Wikimedia sites), and it works nicely with both VisualEditor and WikiEditor. The relatively new "Used by" template lets us see the popularity of extensions among different wiki farms and distributions, and as you can see, CodeMirror is used by 5 of the current 7 selections, - indicating that many people consider it an essential part of the MediaWiki experience.

Support bundling or core. --鈴音雨 (talk) 13:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Essential. Indispensible especially for writing templates using combinations of tags, parser functions, magic words and what not (for instance, it gives you a better clue about the position of your opening and closing braces, which can be incredibly hard to tell apart if everything has the same dark colour). Cavila 07:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support * Pppery * it has begun 15:54, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Template:Suppoprt CodeMirror has been around for a long time, it is basically a requirement for every wiki to have it, I don't know one wiki that doesn't use it, and even the it is so versatile, so helpful and as Cavila put it best, essential and indispensible for writing templates.

- Ship in tarball, not merge, when Special:Disambiguations is removed from core. --Moejoe000 (talk) 10:58, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Core is better. --Nemo 12:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I originally implemented it in core, but was told it should be built as an extension instead. Personally, I thought it would make more sense in core, but I was under the impression that consensus was otherwise, per https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35981. Let's discuss further in the bug. Kaldari (talk) 23:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I also think it makes more sense in core. Btw, some discussion has occurred on wikitech-l. --Waldir (talk) 15:52, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Moved to "bundle" section because the functionality was removed from core and this will obviously not be reverted any time soon. --Nemo 07:07, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- [disablable] — a.k.a. DynamicPageList. — Preceding subst:unsigned comment added by VasilievVV (talk • contribs) 21:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A nice feature for sure, but may not be something that would be useful as a bundled extension. Probably useful for mid-to-larger wikis. Rehman 06:04, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Following the ruwikinews disruption in 2021 (phab:T287362), and especially considering phab:T287380, it seems likely that DPL won't be going anywhere unless it receives a pretty substantive rewrite. 「ディノ奴千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 15:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose The extension is in need of a full rewrite, it has caused multiple full site outages, and deployment to further WMF sites is currently banned per Phab:T14423. 86.23.109.101 22:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But the extension is rewritten as DynamicPageList3, it's a fully rewritten version of DPL for newer versions. 190.190.134.118 20:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I'm going to disagree with 86.23.109.101 here - the extension has caused outages only because WMF wikis are so huge. Most wikis installing MediaWiki are never going to be large enough to cause problems so this remains a useful feature in that context. * Pppery * it has begun 15:54, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- For larger wikis, this may not be helpful. However, this is very useful for smaller wikis who don't necessarily have caching, or more detailed analytics running. -- Prod (talk) 20:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- +2 Every public wiki and nearly every private wiki I "control" wants to keep this feature. For a lot of them this was not even debatable. So great to have this extension and even better to have it integrated. --[[kgh]] (talk) 20:01, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- +1 Platonides (talk) 19:34, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- -2 In the meantime several MediaWiki versions, also LTS versions, have been released without this extension. The extension is hard to install, which if you ask me, makes it basically useless. In 1.28+ it cannot be installed at all. If installed after months or years without it, the numbers will all be incorrect anyway. Also there are way better solutions for visitor tracking so there is no need to further bloat the Core with this poor man's counter. If you really want to count page hits, a third party tool like Google Analytics or Piwik is way more useful. --2003:72:6D24:DB00:B57A:5017:F0BC:133A 16:18, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very simple extension found on some wiki now. Not a critical feature perhaps, but it would make sense for this to be an option alongside $wgRCMaxAge and friends, with sane defaults. On a wiki with few dozens pages, showing new pages of the last 30 pages only doesn't make sense. On the other hand, someone may argue we should just raise the defaults for $wgRCMaxAge. --Nemo 08:41, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support This extension will definitely help users in deciding what pages they could/should spend time expanding upon, of-course there may be edit conflicts that arise if the wiki is big and popular enough, but for smaller wikis this will definitely help encourage people to keep contributing and improving articles. Aeyeu (talk) 03:20, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Should be included in core : it helps to create a basic community by giving indications about the wiki and is very simple to configure. Already used in wikimedias wikis. --Jibec (talk) 20:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The Welcome Notification in Extension:Echo accomplishes a similar function. I would hold off on merging this with core until we have a clearer picture of what we're going to be doing for new users via Echo and Flow. Kaldari (talk) 23:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Do not merge (maybe to be bundled): this extension does a very particular thing. It may be interesting for public wikiks, but there are a lot of different approaches to achive effects (extension Echo as Kaldari mentioned, personal welcomes, using a bot, just use a welcome message after account creation,...). --Moejoe000 (talk) 10:03, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral on this, I'm unsure though I like the extension and I think future possible broader solutions must not block improvements possible in the present. Moved to bundle section. --Nemo 07:07, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral on bundling, but disagree with merging to core. Rehman 05:35, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can see how a template will really show up. Should be useful for lots of wikis. -- Prod (talk) 17:23, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This is essential if a 3rd party wiki wants to use audio or video with playback. --Finchgold (talk) 02:44, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I've found this handy for making complex templates more efficient and readable. It's a fairly straightforward and popular extension which could benefit many wikis. --etesp (talk) 20:57, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- This one isn't compatible with the direction the parsing of pages is headed in, since literally its entire functionality relies on creating and using global page state. In addition, it's largely superseded by Scribunto/Lua - if you need to use this extension to implement some template, chances are good you'll have a much cleaner and lighter end result by implementing the functionality in a module instead. 「ディノ奴千？！」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 12:02, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Disagree with bundling, as it would most probably not be enabled for same reasons WMF did not enable. Alternatives to this function exist. Rehman 05:50, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Without this extension my wiki would not be able to function. And no, Scribunto/Lua isn't a replacement, even if my host allowed me to install it (which it doesn't). Cavila 18:46, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Might want to merge this straight into the page table (as long as we get that easy schema upgrade ability on Wikimedia first...). — Preceding subst:unsigned comment added by VasilievVV (talk • contribs) 21:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Integrating TitleKey would be beneficial to new mediawiki users. Its use case is confusing, because so much seems to work already without it, making it hard to see whether it is a legacy extension or not. What I mean: this adds substantially to the "learning curve" of installing a usable mediawiki installation. The main reason to not include it in core seems to be that it is a little bit of a hack for something (case-insensitive search and suggestions) that should work without the need to install another extension and a special table - correct? Can this then be fixed? G.Hagedorn 08:53, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt very much that the legacy 2010 wikitext editor is going to be merged into core. (Or the 2017 one and the visual editor.) Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 11:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose From a software design perspective it seems much more elegant to implement all editors than extensions than to have one oddball editor that is part of core and all other editors being extensions. There's also no reason to suppose that every third party wiki would want to have this specific wikitext editor from 2010 available. 86.23.109.101 09:01, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Mediawiki is very good instrument to arrange the mathematical results. Consider to include some MathJax; it seems to be best among various supports of the formula typing. Domitori (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me, that everybody prefers short URL rather than the long one. I think, the short URL should be default. Domitori (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So you mean the apache configuration, not the extension (which is an URL shortener). Makes sense, but it's not what this page is for and I've no idea how can be addressed. Maybe a bug against the installer? --Nemo 00:27, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Simpler discussion threads like StructuredDiscussions is a major feature for wikis. If this cannot be integrated in core, it should at least come as an easy-to-install option in the bundle. Rehman 10:09, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reasoning is the task. Kizule (talk) 23:02, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Validator is a generic parameter handling tool. As a lot of parameter handling is happening in both core and extensions, it would greatly increase simplicity and consistency, as well as add a lot of useful things such as auto documentation generation. I'm quite sure most core devs will go "we don't need this". Try it, and then tell me it's not vastly better then hard-coding all the stuff over and over again for every use-case. --Jeroen De Dauw 03:29, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Since this is not currently used by core or production stuff, no reason to ship it just yet. To the extent that things in it are useful for other extensions, those things probably belong in core; doesn't make sense as its own extension. --brion 21:17, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- should not. There are laws in some countries forbidding logging of IPs, etc.— Preceding subst:unsigned comment added by VasilievVV (talk • contribs) 21:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- COPPA forbids collecting e-mail addresses in some circumstances that we don't accommodate (sites targeted at minors must ask for age and get parental approval if age < 13). And we don't provide any way at all for admins to comply with that. Since when does the law of one country force us to not add a feature for everyone else?
- What country actually forbids collecting IP addresses from being logged period? Some may require them to be discarded after a period, but CheckUser does that.
- We already log IPs in rc anyway.
- I agree with Simetrical. It's an out of the box feature available to staff on most comparable software, if anything MW's implementation is extremely conservative and has a lot more oversight.

It's about time we start supporting localisation well in all MediaWiki installations. As far as I know, LU has already been updated to use will soon work (thanks to gerrit:34496, while WMF used a custom hack) with gerrit/git reliably enough; the problem would be that as is it needs cron (like #TorBlock which was discarded). If we had this, we could also use some special system messages, or qqq messages, to spread crucial information or docs (see also bugzilla:41578). --Nemo 21:28, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm somewhat doubtful this is really needed for proper localization support. We ship the localizations with MediaWiki. Well it is certainly nice for WMF wikis to have up to the minute localization updates, I don't see why it is critical for up to the moment updates of the localizations in general. Bawolff (talk)
-
Have you considered that most wikis are not updated for months or years and that sometimes not even 1.x.y releases include localisation updates? WMF wikis are those which need LU less now, thanks to the bi-weekly update. Could you please elaborate on why updated localisation is not so useful in your opinion? I don't know where to start replying. Thanks, Nemo 17:55, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
-
I don't see the need for bundling LocalisationUpdate. I think it would be much better to find a way to encourage updating the whole MediaWiki installation of outdated wikis rather than focusing on updating their localisations. If we offer LocalisationUpdate *from now on*, that won't have any effect for wikis that are already using older versions at this moment anyway. And non-WMF wikis are usually in major languages that are already very well localised. SPQRobin (talk) 19:31, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
-
Do you have any stat for the last claim? About updating, by default security updates don't necessarily include localisation updates. Updating MediaWiki is not a solution to have an up to date localisation, unless one uses git of course. We should go towards a usable experience for tarball users. Nemo 19:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
-
No, I don't, but it's quite logical (see also sites using MediaWiki). Or, the other way around, look at translatewiki:Translating:MediaWiki/statistics/1.20: I don't think there are many non-WMF wikis at all in languages with less than 80-90% localised. About updating, I'm not really talking about security updates, I'm also talking about wikis using versions like 1.15, 1.16 etc, I think it would be better to focus on wikis upgrading more regularly rather than solely keeping their localisations up to date. SPQRobin (talk) 18:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
-
You should use this list and extract language info from there, not rely on assumptions. "Why don't you focus on X instead" is not a valid argument, anyway it's also wrong here because in these days I am working on contacting those thousands of wikis which need to upgrade.
-
I'd rather like to hear reasons why bundling LU would do harm or not do good. --Nemo 20:01, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
-
I just give my opinion, I said "I think it would be better to focus on...". And please, even from the linked list it is, imho, quite obvious that when you take away all English, German, Italian, Spanish, ... wikis you will have only few wikis left in "rare" languages.

Why don't security updates include localization updates? I think they should. The fact that many wikis don't update actually makes me like the idea of including this extension a bit more. A separate conversation from if we want to bundle this is how we would make it work. It needs cron, and I'm opposed to bundling any extension that cannot be automatically set up via the web installer. Bawolff (talk) 23:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you file a bug with a proposal on how to make the installer set such things up? It was needed for TorBlock too. In the case of LU, running the script once in a while is still a valid use case. Security releases usually include localisation updates, but it depends on Siebrand being notified in advance and having enough time for it the days before. --Nemo 09:05, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Given that this is becoming the default on Wikipedia, this should be included in the installer.--Simoneau (talk) 20:33, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right now, VisualEditor is still in a beta state and not really fit for bundling for novice sysadmins (it's more than a little complex to get going compared to normal extensions that we bundle - most especially, the dependency on Parsoid, a nodeJS service). Perhaps early-ish next year it will be in a better state for this to be appropriate. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 06:15, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Almost six years on, and VE is still in beta with a highly involved install process (though it might be simplified once Parsoid lands in core? not sure). Suggesting this for declined, at least for now. 「ディノ奴千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 01:53, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Support integration to core. Per the extension page, this comes bundled from 1.35+. Rehman 05:41, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Done
- disableable
- there should be ability to disable it for wikis like Wikia
- In core r40769
Very silly and harmless, seems to work for some. --Nemo 19:02, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- (at least the option to view available interwikis, see also InterwikiList) - merged in r45062, reverted in r45238 - "please continue working on it, it'd be a nice thing to have for third-party installations if the UI is cleaned up." (ref)
