Rejected extensions
I see that some extensions have been repeatedly requested and rejected on phabricator. In the interest of saving the time of both wiki admins and Miraheze maintainers, a section on the rejected extensions and preferably combined with the reason for that decision can help.

 * I will do that when I get the chance. MacFan4000 (talk) 00:54, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * This would be a good idea. Generally, we only decline extensions if they pose a security threat to Miraheze, or if they cause possible overloads, there are of course exceptions to this. Reception123 (talk) ( contribs  ) 17:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Sharing security concerns with mediawiki
There are a lot of security concerns with extensions.

Are they being communicated to mediawiki?

 * The only extension declined because of an actual security issue did have the issue reported upstream. John (talk) 22:38, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Repetition
DynamicPageList is repeated twice, in the sections Extension available upon request and Declined extensions (<1.29). I also recommend unambigating the links to the correct extensions. --Wiki1776 (talk) 19:09, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Extension:Popups
According to what is said here, Popups needs PageImages and TextExtracts to extract text and images from articles to use as a popup preview, but neither is installed by default nor available in Special:ManageWiki.--Wedhro (talk) 14:28, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Both of the requisite extensions are bundled into the setting that enables popups. For reference, see config. Voidwalker (talk) 14:37, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I have one more noobish question: when I edit pages I see this on the right, below the title, and if I click "Publish" I get this popup warning about licences and such. Probably it's some extension (I don't see it here) but the few I have don't seem to be responsible for that. Does somebody know which one could it be?--Wedhro (talk) 15:13, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I was looking at some pages and you could see that I did an edition of tests in recent changes, and at least I, I have not seen anything of what you show in the images GOTILON - Talk  - Contributions  15:29, 1 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I played with preferences and it went away.--Wedhro (talk) 17:24, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Upgrade process?
I was just wondering if it'd be worth adding a note to this page about how often and under what circumstances extensions get updated? I think that they're using release branches, but is that based on their compatibility policy (i.e. will be either the master branch or e.g. REL1_31) or is there something else to it? Sam Wilson 09:52, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Good idea, and yes, you are right. We usually want to stick to REL1_31 but for extensions which use the "master" branch we use that. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 11:00, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Whew.
When i looked at the extensions, i didn't carefully look so i was like "NO ABUSEFILTER?" I'm just glad there is.

Some extensions partially rely on Local_Settings.php settings
Hmmm, some extensions partially rely on Local_Settings.php settings, and thus might not be fully ready for Miraheze. Jidanni (talk) 03:08, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Descriptions
It would help if each extension in the list had a short description of what it does next to it. 24.44.16.199 19:38, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
