Extensions provide numerous ways to extend the core functionality of [[MediaWiki]] in ways that are more likely not to break on MediaWiki upgrades. Some types of extensions store their code inside the wiki which should be utterly avoided as then the MediaWiki team cannot assure to not break on upgrades. No guarantees are given but given a clean implementation of task X we've no need to reinvent the wheel. It would seem that '''adding extensions is not the problematic part but removing them''' in a clean manner after they've been added at some point previously. '''Key extensions''' *[[#MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle]] takes care of our multilinguality. *[[#Wikibase]] and [[#Wikibase Client]] are being developed as a part of the [[Wikidata]] project will be our structured data storage, retrieval and modification extension duo. It remains to be seen how [[#LinkedWiki]] extensions with similar functionality by the [[DBpedia]] people will develop from now on. Going to keep a close eyeon it ''' See also: ''' * [[Templates]] - they enable [[w:Transclusion|transcluding]] content. build whole page with transcluding many templates into it * [[Categories]] - two-way hyperlinks. placing a link to a category includes an article in the [[w:set]] of articles in the category X * [[MediaWiki/Widgets]]
