Steps

What are the stepps to add an extension to a Wikipedia? And where is the local settings.php? These information should be added.—‎Lost Whispers _talk 10:00, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

cs1 or cs2

This article has a mix of cs1 and cs2. Which should it standardize on? FWIW: My observation is cs1 is winning the popularity contest. —¿philoserf? (talk) 00:20, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AFD Rationale

I am unconvinced that the topic of MediaWiki extensions has any independent notability outside of the topic of MediaWiki. The article sourcing as it stands is in a terrible state, I did a WP:BEFORE search and was unable to find much better. Over half the references here to primary sources, mostly other WMF wikis. We have comments in WP:TFD Discussions, bugzilla reports, random pages on Meta, Mediawiki Categories and the Mediawiki manual all being used as sources here, all of which are both primary and user generated sources. Almost all The remaining sources seem to consist of papers where a developer is writing about a specific extension they have written for Mediawiki, again I'm fairly sure that most of this would count as primary sourcing (because it's the developer writing about what they've done) but more importantly these are only examples of specific extensions, there doesn't seem to be much, if any, discussion of the extensibility of Mediawiki as a topic. Perhaps it would be sensible to selectivley merge some of the content on specific examples of extensions to MediaWiki#Extensibility? 192.76.8.80 (talk) 00:08, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
