Installed MediaWiki -- told it to ask me more questions, do I need to check extensions that come with MediaWiki?

There are several extensions like RenameUser and ParserFunctions that say, "This extension comes with MediaWiki vWhatever and above. Thus you do not have to download it again. However, you still need to follow the other instructions provided." But in the MediaWiki installation, if I tell MediaWiki that I want it to ask me more questions, it asks if I want these extensions. If I check the box for these extensions, are they fully installed for me? Is checking the box superfluous?

If you check the boxes those extensions will be "fully installed" (which in this case only means automatically adding the required 1-2 lines of code per extension inside the LocalSettings.php file).

Thanks!
