My favorite MediaWiki extensions
- DynamicPageList is the single most useful extension that I use. It creates mainly list of pages satisfying various criteria (e.g. category, notcategory, linksfrom, linksto, title, uses, usedby, namespace). For more information you can read its extensive manual.
- Labeled Section Transclusion allows selective translusion of marked-off sections of text. When it is used in combination with DynamicPageList you can synthesize the existent wiki content and create new dynamic pages according to specific criteria.
- MathJax provides an easily installed way for typesetting LaTeX formulae in MediaWiki pages.
- Wiki2LaTeX converts Mediawiki syntax into LaTeX.
- WolframCDF allows cdf files generated by Mathematica to be shown in MediaWiki pages.
- BreadCrumbs shows a trail of visited pages during the user’s session.
- QuickLink makes easier and faster the searching and insertion of internal links.
- SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi displays formatted source code written in more than 120 programming languages.
- ReplaceText provides a special page to allow administrators to do a global string find-and-replace on both the text and titles of the wiki’s content pages.
- MultiBoilerplate allows a boilerplate to be selected from a drop down box located above the edit form when editing non-existent pages.
- Semantic MediaWiki helps to search, organise, tag, browse, evaluate, and share the wiki’s content.
