# [[mw:Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion]] — ''Pro:'' would help select a part to transclusion and we need it for the relationship among [[Template:Wiki]],[[Template:Wiki boilerplate]], [[Template:NewWiki boilerplate]], and [[Community Portal]].--[[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] ([[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]) 05:00, 13 April 2013 (PDT) - ''Con:'' | # [[mw:Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion]] — ''Pro:'' would help select a part to transclusion and we need it for the relationship among [[Template:Wiki]],[[Template:Wiki boilerplate]], [[Template:NewWiki boilerplate]], and [[Community Portal]].--[[User:Zhuyifei1999|Zhuyifei1999]] ([[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]) 05:00, 13 April 2013 (PDT) - ''Con:'' I'm not convinced. This seems to work well on Wikipedia, which relies heavily on linking between articles. Here on WikiIndex, we rarely link between articles, and [[Template:NewWiki boilerplate]] is obsolete (whichever 'boilerplate' is used, be they the [[Template:Wikia boilerplate|Wikia version]] or any of the language-specific versions, they all call on just one template - [[Template:Wiki]] to render the infobox). So not needed.

# [[mw:Extension:LastUserLogin]] — ''Pro:'' would let us know a person's activity and it helps people to see who is building WikiIndex. - ''Con:'' Why?????

# [[mw:Extension:NewUserMessage]] — ''Pro:'' would automatcally place a welcome message. - ''Con:'' The effort of personally welcoming someone is what builds community I think. I am afraid that a robot generated welcome message would deter from a welcoming environment. It certainly would place information on a person's talk page, not sure how valuable that is though.

##No way. If we as a community can't manage a personal welcome for the few genuine new users we get, then we should bury our collective heads in shame :-((((( [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 02:39, 22 April 2013 (PDT) | ##No way.
