OrthodoxWiki:Extensions

This is a list of user-side MediaWiki extensions installed at OrthodoxWiki. If you know of another one you'd like to see here, leave a note on the discussion page and we'll see what we can do. A full list can be found here.

Nice Category List extension

Generates a list of all pages in the category, including subcategories.
Unlike the default category list, the generated list is flat and shows well, even with long page names.

Usage:

 <ncl>Category:Some Category</ncl>

This extension is currently experiencing a bug -- when used with pages of different namespaces, it does not render links correctly. We're working to get this fixed. It works well when all pages are in the default namespace however.

Available extensions not installed

We can install these upon request. I maintain the list here for convenience.

• Mailman - creates a mailman subscribe form. We could use this if we ever wanted to create announcement mailing lists for OrthodoxWiki.
• GoogleMap extensions: [1], [2], and [3] - These allow integration with the GoogleMap service
