This user is a proud MediaWiki extension developer and participant in WikiProject Extensions.
Use {{Extension}} to all extension pages on this wiki (but only the main page). It will add a useful infobox and will automatically add the extension to Category:All extensions, along with the appropriate status and implementation type categories.
This extension or skin has not been maintained for some time, and no longer supports recent releases of MediaWiki.

Add {{DownloadBroken}} when the extension's download link appears to be broken.
This extension's download link appears to be broken. If you have another link, please update the page and remove this notice.
Add {{Execution alert}} when the extension's code or configuration poses a major security risk.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk.
Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
Problem: Vulnerable to code injection attacks, because it passes user input directly to executable statements, such as exec(), passthru() or include(). This may lead to arbitrary code being run on your server, among other things. Solution: Strictly validate user input and/or apply escaping to all characters that have a special meaning in executable statements.
This extension requires patches to core MediaWiki code. Extensions implemented using patches may be disabled by or interfere with upgrades and security patches. If a suitable alternative without a patch is available, we recommend you use that extension instead.
Add {{Extension code in wiki}} when an extension stores its code within this wiki's wikicode rather than a code repository.
This extension stores its source code on a editable wiki page rather than in a code repository. As a result, this code may be maliciously altered.
It may contain security vulnerabilities, and will not receive localisation updates from translatewiki.net. Developers are strongly encouraged to host their code in a code repository rather than a wiki page so that the extension can be properly maintained, reviewed, and kept secure.
The developer of this extension has requested that any future modifications, when possible, be made only after checking with them first.
Add {{Incompatible}} when an extension is incompatible with the stable version of MediaWiki (1.44).
This extension is incompatible with the current stable MediaWiki 1.44 release!
You are advised against using this extension on a live site.
MediaWiki developers are invited to pledge their efforts to updating this extension to make it compatible with MediaWiki 1.44 by replacing the {{Incompatible}} template with {{Incompatible|pledge=~~~~}}.
Add {{ObsoleteExtension}} when an extension is obsolete - either by being replaced in MediaWiki's core or offering features no longer necessary.
This extension is obsolete!
You are advised against using this extension on a live site.
MediaWiki was not designed to support per-page or partial-page access restrictions. If you require this level of control, you are strongly advised to use a content management system that supports it natively.
Patches or third-party extensions claiming to provide access control, when in use with MediaWiki, may not work in all cases, potentially exposing confidential data.
Use them at your own risk.
Neither the MediaWiki developers nor the Wikimedia Foundation are responsible for any data leaks that may result.
This message is added to all extensions of this nature and may not reflect the actual security status of this extension.
Use {{Security alert}} to an extension vulnerable to attacks.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk. Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
Add {{SQL injection alert}} to an extension vulnerable to sql injection attacks, because it passes user input directly to sql commands.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk.
Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
Problem: Vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, because it passes user input directly into SQL commands. This may lead to user accounts being hijacked, wiki content being compromised, private data being leaked, malware being injected, and the entire wiki content being erased, among other things. Solution:make proper use of MediaWiki's database class instead of concatenating raw sql
Add {{Unmaintained extension}} when the developer(s) of an extension is no longer maintaining it.
This extension is currently not actively maintained! Although it may still work, any bug reports or feature requests will more than likely be ignored.
If you are interested in taking on the task of developing and maintaining this extension, you can request repository ownership. As a courtesy, you may want to contact the author. You should also remove this template and list yourself as maintaining the extension in the page's {{Extension}} infobox.
Add {{XSS alert}} to an extension vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks, because it passes user input directly to the browser.
Warning: The code or configuration described here poses a major security risk.
Site administrators: You are advised against using it until this security issue is resolved.
