Talk:Suggestions for extensions to be integrated/LQT Archive 1

Rubric?
It would be great if this page linked to an explanation of why an extension would be integrated into core, and criteria that are used to make the decision. Adamw (talk) 18:46, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Lead
The [//www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Suggestions_for_extensions_to_be_integrated&oldid=607685 last revision of the lead section], while interesting, might be too much for such a brainstorming page. Leucosticte, I found your previous revision very helpful, but if you plan to add more it's probably better to create another page, which can start as an essay and maybe one day become policy. --Nemo 10:35, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

System administrator fatigue
Should we try to limit the number of extensions that are bundled with the core, and that therefore require the person installing MediaWiki to make a decision as to whether to check the box? If there are too many of those checkboxes, people will probably be inclined to either check all of them or leave them all unchecked, rather than thinking about each one. That might defeat part of the point of bundling rather than merging. Leucosticte (talk) 13:47, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Short answer: no. Longer answer: IMHO, it's probably better to group the checkboxes so that one can e.g. select "anti-spam extensions", or find some other way than silly checkboxes (false by default even?) to handle this; please file a bug against the installer.

Side note... are we bothering to include the description of the extension near the checkbox? Daniel Friesen (Dantman) (talk) 14:21, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
