Extension talk:GettingStarted

What does the extension actually do?
Could someone please add a description of what the extension actually does? Looking at the system message linked from the description it looks like the special page just transcludes w:en:Template:Opentask-short which in turn is updated by a bot? How is the special page different from a normal page with the template in it? I'm very confused. --Nemo 20:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * For now it just does, plus restyles the page, removing/hiding some elements (like centralauth) and changing others (like the returnto link). In the future, it will be used as a scaffold for also doing the job SuggestBot is doing (gathering and filtering lists of tasks by type). If you're perturbed by the fact that an extension is being used for fairly minimal functionality, keep in mind we're still an experiments team, and we always aim to release something to users earlier rather than later, even when it's minimally viable.

How to customize the content & queries?
Hi, looking at http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GettingStarted and wondering how can that text and queries be customized. I like the feature but as it is it's not really helpful for mediawiki.org. Still, we could use or create other categories and query them.--Qgil (talk) 06:09, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
