Category:Extensions/sco

This category lists information and pages relating to MediaWiki extensions.

Finding extensions
The subcategories listed below provide many ways to browse through the set of extensions. To see the list of all extensions that have a page on mediawiki.org, go to the subcategory all extensions.

Other lists of extensions include:


 * All extension pages - an uncategorized list of extensions.
 * Comparison of extensions in distributions - comparison of what extensions are included in different distributions.
 * Extensions in the MediaWiki Git repository
 * m:Category:MediaWiki extensions - extensions documented in the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki
 * "Extension" category on WikiApiary - holds a list of websites that use any extension.

If you can't find an extension that does what you're looking for, you can request one at Extension requests.

Please note that most of the extensions listed here are not maintained by people affiliated with the MediaWiki software development team. For most extensions, there is no guarantee of the quality of the software, or its security, or how well it will work with recent versions of MediaWiki.

Getting help with an extension
The documentation page for an extension should hopefully give you all the information you need in order to install/use the extension. If you have any further questions you can raise them on the associated talk page, or contact the extension author(s) if there is contact information listed, or use an existing support channel like the mediawiki-l mailing list or the #mediawiki IRC channel. Please do not contact the MediaWiki developers with questions about third-party extensions!

Improving existing extensions

 * - There are always some extensions in need of a new maintainer. Perhaps taking over maintenance of one is a good starting point, too.
