As the name would suggest, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions Extensions] extend the functionality of the MediaWiki.
For more information, see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions MediaWiki Extensions Manual page].

== Available Extensions ==

Myriad Extensions are available: to find the one that meets the requisite needs, there are a number of available resources:

# MediaWiki keeps a [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Extensions_by_category List of Extensions by Category]: this is a good place to start when searching for a type of Extension.
# The [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor MediaWiki Extension Distributor]; this has the advantage that you can also use it to download extensions but you need to know what you're looking for!
# If in doubt, Google it...

== Installing Extensions ==

Installing Extensions is generally very straightforward:

# Download and unpack the Extension folder;
# Move this folder into the <code>$IP/extensions</code> folder within the MediaWiki installation directory;
# Modify the <code>LocalSettings.php</code> file to include the extension. This normally involves adding a line like this to the bottom of <code>LocalSettings.php</code>:

<pre>
// mw.v 1.24.x or less
require_once "$IP/extensions/extension_name/extension_name.php";
// mw.v 1.25.x or above
wfLoadExtension( '<extension-name>' );
</pre>

For more detailed instructions, see the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions MediaWiki Extensions Manual page] or the relevant Extension Wiki page.

== Installed Extensions ==
