This user is a proud MediaWiki extension developer and participant in WikiProject Extensions.
Use {{Extension}} to all extension pages on this wiki (but only the main page). It will add a useful infobox and will automatically add the extension to Category:All extensions, along with the appropriate status and implementation type categories.

Add {{DownloadBroken}} when the extension's download link appears to be broken.

Add {{Execution alert}} when the extension's code or configuration poses a major security risk.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk.
Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
Problem: Vulnerable to code injection attacks, because it passes user input directly to executable statements, such as exec(), passthru() or include(). This may lead to arbitrary code being run on your server, among other things. Solution: Strictly validate user input and/or apply escaping to all characters that have a special meaning in executable statements.
This extension requires patches to core MediaWiki code. Extensions implemented using patches may be disabled by or interfere with upgrades and security patches. If a suitable alternative without a patch is available, we recommend you use that extension instead.
Add {{Extension code in wiki}} when an extension stores its code within this wiki's wikicode rather than a code repository.
This extension stores its source code on a wiki page. Please be aware that this code may be unreviewed or maliciously altered. They may contain security holes, outdated interfaces that are no longer compatible etc.
The developer of this extension has requested that any future modifications, when possible, be made only after checking with them first.
Add {{Incompatible}} when an extension is incompatible with the stable version of MediaWiki (1.41).
This extension is incompatible with the current stable MediaWiki 1.41 release!
You are advised against using this extension on a live site.
Volunteer developers are invited to pledge their efforts to updating this extension to make it compatible with MediaWiki 1.41 by replacing the {{Incompatible}} template with {{Incompatible|pledge=~~~~}}.
Add {{ObsoleteExtension}} when an extension is obsolete - either by being replaced in MediaWiki's core or offering features no longer necessary.
This extension is obsolete!
You are advised against using this extension on a live site.
If you need per-page or partial page access restrictions, you are advised to install an appropriate content management package. MediaWiki was not written to provide per-page access restrictions, and almost all hacks or patches promising to add them will likely have flaws somewhere, which could lead to exposure of confidential data. We are not responsible for anything being leaked. For further details, see Security issues with authorisation extensions
Use {{Security alert}} to an extension vulnerable to attacks.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk. Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
Add {{SQL injection alert}} to an extension vulnerable to sql injection attacks, because it passes user input directly to sql commands.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk.
Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
Problem: Vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, because it passes user input directly into SQL commands. This may lead to user accounts being hijacked, wiki content being compromised, private data being leaked, malware being injected, and the entire wiki content being erased, among other things. Solution:make proper use of MediaWiki's database class instead of concatenating raw sql
Add {{Unmaintained extension}} when the developer(s) of an extension is no longer maintaining it.

If you are interested in taking on the task of developing and maintaining this extension, you can request repository ownership. As a courtesy, you may want to contact the author. You should also remove this template and list yourself as maintaining the extension in the page's {{Extension}} infobox.
Add {{XSS alert}} to an extension vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks, because it passes user input directly to the browser.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk.
Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
