Revision as of 17:57, 6 March 2006

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>
  • Biblio: for citing from PubMed
  • navimages: for allowing images to link to any URL
  • Calendar extension for fancy calendars
  • ShowHide extension to dynamically show/hide sections
  • Dynamic Page List 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. If this isn't installed already it would be really really cool to do so. Also see an updated version here.--BC 12:17, 1 March 2006 (EST)
    • Both versions are installed. Try out the versions and see whether they are useful. Unless people have an objection, I may remove version 1 and only leave version 2. I don't think we want lots of extraneous extensions. --Austin 12:56, 1 March 2006 (EST)
  • Special:Editcount: Show edit stats for users. Can be linked as [[Special:Editcount/user]] and included {{Special:Editcount/user}}

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.

  • Dynamic Article List - would allow us to dynamically generate lists of the most popular articles, newest articles etc.
    • They post their code in pdf files! If someone could extract the text in the files, zip them up, and send them to me, I'll install it. --Austin 12:56, 1 March 2006 (EST)
  • WikiDrops: Add to the top of pages automatically a 'breadcrumbs' path back to the main page.
