Following are ongoing projects of WikiProject Extensions. All (that includes you) are invited to participate in each of our ongoing projects.
Documentation[edit]
Update extension development related documentation on MediaWiki.org.
Current priorities[edit]
- Manual:Extensions
- Extensions FAQ
- Archive FAQs unrelated to supported releases.
- Improve use of MW version tags.
- Manual:Developing extensions
- Developer hub
Templates[edit]
Develop and maintain templates related to extensions.
Current tasks[edit]
- Identify extensions needing Template:Incompatible
- Begin moving extensions from wiki code posting to repository commits
- Templates to assist with merging extensions
- Template:Extensions updating
- Optional donate to developer button? (feedback from finlay)
- Integration with w:Wikipedia:Bounty board
- Duplicate on MW.org - link to/from enWP page (feedback from aude)
- Check on WMF policy/stance, post-Holiday
- Integration with w:Wikipedia:Bounty board
- Optional donate to developer button? (feedback from finlay)
Current ideas[edit]
- Encourage developers to "pledge" to update an extension for a current or upcoming release.
- "Archive related" templates for extensions using defunct services unrelated to MediaWiki
- Model page or complete page template for extensions
- Release notes you can subscribe to
- Consistency amongst sections
- Coordinate volunteers to sweep extensions for updates/improvements?
Review[edit]
Assist developers in reviewing their extensions for use on production sites.
Current ideas[edit]
- Identify group interested in reviewing extension's code before "stable" releases of the extension
- Process and templates to support effort
- Work with Wikimedia Labs to develop tools for extension developers
- Ability to test on "dummy installations" of multiple versions of MediaWiki
- Development of merging extensions policy
- Create checklist for new extensions or before moving to code repository
- Example (sort of): Writing an extension for deployment
Recovery[edit]
Identify and recover obsolete, incompatible or abandoned extensions still in demand or being requested.
