Manual talk:Installing third-party tools

Page name
This needs a better name. What is the difference between third-party tools and third-party extensions? How about something like Manual:Optional dependencies? --HappyDog 19:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds okay to me. I was trying to keep it consistent with Manual:Installing MediaWiki.  How about Manual:Installing optional dependencies.  Too long?  --Cneubauer 20:09, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, the page doesn't really tell you how to install them (and it shouldn't), so that shouldn't be part of the name. It should list the various elements of functionality that require optional third-party tools, point the reader to an appropriate download location and further installation info, and note any special configuration that is required in order to use them with MediaWiki.  I think "Optional dependencies" is fine for a title, but am open to further suggestions. --HappyDog 21:14, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
