Talk:Tarballs

I wasn't sure to comment directly on the page or on the talk page. Anyways, some currently listed I think should not be included in the tarball:
 * First off I think TitleKey and ExpandTemplates should be in core. ExpandTemplates is pretty useless to people who are not developers or hard-core template creators, so I don't really think that should be included by default if its not part of core. (Rename user is another good candidate for core, but it does sort of make sense as an extension)
 * AbuseFilter - Most experienced Wiki-editors have issues wrapping their heads around it, I don't think we should suggest it to people who are not advanced enough to download it from mediawiki.org
 * Anti-bot. My understanding is the meat and potato's of this extension are hidden closed-source secrets. We shouldn't give users this unless it has useful filters (I know it does come with a filter for the wrong form-data from bots thing. I'm not sure how useful that filter is. If it is useful I withdraw my opposition to that one)
 * ConfirmEdit - I'm kind of concerned this would be more difficult to setup than the installer would be able to handle (but haven't tried, so don't actually know).
 * TitleBlacklist, DismissableSiteNotice, CategoryTree - I'm not really opposed to these per se, but think they're kind of frivolous if you're not a major site like Wikimedia. Bawolff 15:30, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
