# [[mw:Extension:LastUserLogin]] — ''Pro:'' would let us know a person's activity and it helps people to see who is building WikiIndex.  - ''Con:'' Why?????  Either use [[Special:RecentChanges]], or if you want to watch a specific user, add them to your watchlist :/  [[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)  <!--''Con:'' Any?--> [[Special:WhosOnline]] can be a replacement, but records within a day. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small>  02:38, 4 May 2013 (PDT)
# [[mw:Extension:LastUserLogin]] — ''Pro:'' would let us know a person's activity and it helps people to see who is building WikiIndex.  - ''Con:'' Why?????  Either use [[Special:RecentChanges]], or if you want to watch a specific user, add them to your watchlist :/  [[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)  <!--''Con:'' Any?--> [[Special:WhosOnline]] can be a replacement, but records within a day. --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small>  02:38, 4 May 2013 (PDT)
# <s>[[mw:Extension:SpecialUserScore]]</s> — ''Pro:'' it just lists edit counts of people (something interesting for stats geeks) and it helps people to see who is building WikiIndex - ''Con:'' probably doesn't add any real value to WikiIndex
##IIRC this extension is rather server-heavy... --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 06:44, 28 April 2013 (PDT)
# <s>[[mw:Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion]]</s> — ''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  Here on WikiIndex, we rarely link between articles, and [[Template:NewWiki boilerplate]] is obsolete (whichever 'boilerplate' is used, be they the [[Template:Wikia boilerplate|Wikia version]] or any of the language-specific versions, they all call on just one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.  [[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)
# <s>[[mw:Extension:NewUserMessage]]</s> — ''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.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
##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)
# <s>[[mw:Extension:CategoryTree]]</s> — ''Pro:''  this would be really helpful in seeing how our categories are constructed  - ''Con:''  IIRC CategoryTree is broken on the most recent version(s) of MediaWiki, as per [[mw:Extension talk:CategoryTree]]. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 14:41, 22 December 2012 (PST)  - Check to see if still broken
##Sadly still seems to be broken.  [[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) - Strike because still broken. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
# <s>[[mw:Extension:Translate]]</s> — ''Pro:'' would help make this wiki open for all languages.  - ''Con:'' Any?
## Seems to be quite [[mw:Extension talk:Translate|buggy]].  The three sites which currently use it have far more active software developers that we do here at WikiIndex.  Whilst I agree with the ethos, I fear this may be more of a hassle and can of worms :(  [[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) -- Strike because buggy. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
# <s>[[mw:Extension:IconLink]]</s> — ''Pro:'' as raised [[Talk:Welcome#Favicons|here]] - ''Con:''  The code could do with a bit of updating (and preferrably a security review, too). --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 14:41, 22 December 2012 (PST)  - Striking out because we don't have capacity to update code or do a security review. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
# <s>[[mw:Extension:FaviconLink]]</s> — ''Pro:''  - ''Con:'' The code is a mess and in the past, there was a XSS vulnerability in it. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] ([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|talk]]) 14:41, 22 December 2012 (PST) Striking out because we don't have capacity to update code or do a security review. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
