Email blacklisting
While there exits an extension wich can block creation of username in violation of a username policy, there doesn't seem to be one for blacklisting emails. The idea would be that a user who specifies a blacklisted email address, they are not email confirmed, and cannot do anything that requires one to specify a valid email address. Part of the reason why this might be a good idea is that some wikis require email confirmation to edit pages, and having an email address like Sneakmail enabled might, in some cases go against the intent of this restriction.

Sign in with Twitter
While there is a facebook connect extension, why is there no twitter sign-in one? --MyrtonosTry liquid theads 08:07, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Quizzes and FlashCards
MediaWiki is especially well suited for the purposes of education. But rather than just give people access to encyclopedic articles that don't test understanding, I think that the knowledge should be broken down into study-able pieces. To those ends, I would like to be able to include functionality like that found at Mnemosyne or Memorize.com within my site.

Connecting Google AdSense with Google Analytics
An extension that adds AdSense-Analytics connecting code to MediaWiki. --Darkhorn 04:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

A simple one-button "[Star] / [Fave] / [LikeThis] / [Cool!] / etc." rating extension
I've seen a lot of MediaWiki rating extensions that let the user define a "percentage like", or a number of stars, but I'm looking for something simpler. It's for a museum's wiki, where individual exhibits will have wiki pages, and where it would be nice for passing visitors to the website be able to click on a button to indicate that a particular Museum exhibit was one of their favourites. The Wiki could then show the number of likes for the item, and generate "most liked" lists, which would be useful both to visitors and to the Museum.

But it doesn't really need to bother users by asking for percentages or an exact numbers of stars - I figure that only the people who really like an exhibit will go to the trouble of rating it, so it only needs a one-button, one-click interface. I guess the obvious comparison would be with what Google are trying with their "+1" button.

So far I haven't been able to find a MediaWiki extension that does this. Is there something here that I've missed? ErkDemon 12:34, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Hide the Namespace and colon on a link to a page in another namespace
I've been looking for this all over, it seems like an idea someone should have hit upon already.. I'd like to be able to make a link to a namespace page, like Food:Apples and have it show up in the page as just Apples, while still pointing to the namespace page.

This is already doable with regular link syntax, but it gets really time consuming, especially if I'm making heavily-linked paragraphs of text. I'd like to be able to just set it by default on specific namespaces so I don't have to mess with it. (I use a lot of custom namespaces, especially when I'm getting into content that uses common terms for titles.)--RedBlade 22:28, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Images or frames: percentage of browser/screen width
This would be useful for anyone who wants to, for example, centre an image in a banner at the top, or display an image in the bottom - particularly of images which are of decent quality that you don't want to force down to a (horizontal) size of 640 pixels or 800 pixels on a large widescreen monitor. It would also be handy for people who want to create images or frames with images that span an article width neatly, rather than taking up only 50% or 75% of the article width.

If this idea has already been implemented, please tell me which extention facilitates it. Thanks in advance.

Custom Profile Fields
I think it would be quite useful to have an extension to simply and quickly add new, custom, profile fields which users can fill in. I have seen some similar extensions out there, but the pages seem old at the best.

Email reminder/Resubmission
I've been looking around, but unfortunately I cannot find what I'm after. I'm trying to find an extension that can remind an admin after a current time to reedit a page.

For example: I(Admin) create a page which a high priority about a technical topic which can change often. So I(Admin) want to create an Email-reminder which reminds me which page I have to reedit in 3 month/4 month/... .

It would be perfect to select, by creating the page, if this page should be viewed/reedited/controled by an admin (which admin) and in which intervals.

Does anybody have an Idea? Thx
