Template talk:Extension/LQT Archive 1

Hello, Is there any complaints if we add to this a link to where the extension can be seen in action? --Rick 03:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


 * No - that sounds sensible. --HappyDog 11:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * ditto -- :Bdk: 16:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Formatting is weird
Take a look at Extension:OpenID. What's going on? --wikitravel:User:Evan


 * I'm not sure what you mean - please elaborate. --HappyDog 19:16, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Here is?
Why the change from "This is a MediaWiki Extension" to "Here is a MediaWiki Extension"? I think it sounds frivolous. I propose it is reverted. If anyone is against reverting it, please speak up... --Fernando Correia 10:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, I reverted it.--Patrick 10:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Tools
I propose that a new type is added to the list: "tool". This could be used to indicate modules that provide additional functionality to a MediaWiki installation. Examples would be Extension:AddPageService and Extension:Word2MediaWikiPlus. --Fernando Correia 13:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Perhaps it would be even better to have a separate namespace for them. After all, they are not really extensions. -- Duesentrieb ⇌ 23:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

That may be a good way. Although they "extend" MediaWiki core functionality, they are really not extensions in the sense that they are called by MediaWiki code. Actually the call MediaWiki. They are similar to pywikipediabot and to the "maintenance" directory scripts. Anyway, I think a clarification on this would be helpful, because some tools used to be classified as extensions on Meta, and at the same time classified as Category:MediaWiki tools. --Fernando Correia 11:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Categorise by author
I tried to get the template to categorise into Category:Extensions by "author" but couldn't get it to work. --Nad 21:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Extension of multiple types
type = parser, hook, special puts it in "Category to catch extensions with an unrecognised type". It should be in all three extension categories. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage 05:22, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I added that combination. More combinations may have to be added. An alternative would have been to have a boolean parameter for each type.--Patrick 07:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
