Special:RandomPage
Is there any way that we can make Special:RandomPage not redirect to subpages? Obviously the primary language of the wiki is English, and there's really no point presenting the majority of people with a Russian page who then might click again to get a German page. -- Pilk (talk) 09:45, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- WindPower has created an extension for use. It's quite brilliant! He's made it so that if you're on an English page, then random page returns only English pages, if you on a localized page then it will only return pages of the same language. Pretty fancy! -- Smashman... (t • s) 10:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

- The extension requires the SpecialRandomGetRandomTitle hook that was added in 1.16.0. I have successfully installed it on the Alien Swarm Wiki, which also runs on 1.15.4, by simply overwriting 1.15.4's SpecialRandompage.php with the version from 1.16.0, and it seems to work fine. So either an upgrade to 1.16.0 or simply overwriting this file would work. Thanks~ — Wind 20:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Semantic MediaWiki
The SMW framework would be extremely useful for this wiki. There is a lot of data on the wiki that can be collated or filtered as lists, making a lot of manual categorization unnecessary. —Moussekateer·talk 04:34, 12 May 2013 (PDT)
Enabling search autocomplete
This would be immensely useful and has the side effect of making a huge amount of redirects unnecessary. —Moussekateer·talk 04:34, 12 May 2013 (PDT)
SearchLog extension
If search autocomplete is not viable for whatever reason the SearchLog extension would be a useful tool. It generates a table of searches and their frequency. —Moussekateer·talk 04:34, 12 May 2013 (PDT)
Update the Autoconfirmed user group
Remove the captcha for users with 10 (or whatever) or more edits in the mainspace. —Moussekateer·talk 04:34, 12 May 2013 (PDT)
Update MediaWiki to 1.20.5
Critical bug fixes everywhere. —Moussekateer·talk 04:34, 12 May 2013 (PDT)
Anti-spam stuff
I think one easy change would be installing AbuseFilter; You can write regex filters to block based on a user's age, number of links in an edit, etc.
A second extension that might be useful is SpamBlacklist. WMF has a huge list of sites globally blocked on their sites, and it tends to be pretty useful.
Nuke lets admins mass-delete pages, making cleanup a bit easier.
SimpleAntiSpam just adds a form in the signup page that users don't see, but blocks registration if a bot were to add text to it. [4]
One change that doesn't require an extension is to add something like this bit of code in LocalSettings.php: [snip] $wgAutoConfirmAge = 86400*5; //Set autoconfirmed age to 5 days... $wgAutoConfirmCount = 5; //...and 5 edits $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createpage'] = false; //Don't allow new users to create pages $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['createpage'] = true; //Allow autoconfirmed users create pages $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = false; //Don't allow new users to upload $wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['upload'] = true; //Allow autoconfirmed users upload files [/snip]
