Thread:Talk:Third-party MediaWiki users discussion/Improving extension updating/reply (4)

Too much questions!! Here is the first answer. > There is an effort going on currently to make a list of extensions to be integrated in core and in the installer here that I have already suggested everyone should participate in. Is that different from the consensus list you are envisioning?

Yes, it's a different list but they can obviously intersect in many points. The RECOMMENDED extension is like the featured article in Wikipedia - it has to be so absolutely needed for many people that it's available to install via installer itself. For example Extension:Cite. But there are also just AWESOME extensions that serve very important purposes and very well-written but maybe don't have to be included with the installer pack. They're just very good extensions and should be more visible.
