Manual:Extensions/ps

Extensions let you customize how MediaWiki looks and works.
 * Wiki users can browse through extensions.
 * System administrators can install (or remove) extensions on the MediaWiki installations that they manage.
 * Developers can write new extensions or improve or maintain extensions.

While some extensions are maintained by MediaWiki developers, others were written by third-party developers. As a result, many have bugs, and they are not all guaranteed to be compatible with each other. Some are unmaintained; not all extensions work on all versions of MediaWiki. Use any extension, especially those tagged as insecure, at your own risk. If you are using an extension that requires patches to the core software, be sure to backup your database. This helps avoid the risk of breaking your wiki.
