==Extensions==

A variety of extensions are available for MediaWiki. The most popular and stable ~~are~~ collected in the Debian package <tt>mediawiki-extensions</tt>, ~~including (~~as of ~~1.10) GeSHi, Cite, inputbox, and ParserFunctions. By default, none are enabled -- the~~ package ~~only provides~~ the ~~extensions; it does not enable them!~~

A variety of extensions are available for MediaWiki. The most popular and stable were once collected in the Debian package <tt>mediawiki-extensions</tt>, but as of 2026 this package no longer exists in the archive. So:

~~===Enabling Debian-Supported Extensions===~~

* Download desired extensions to <tt>/var/lib/mediawiki/extensions</tt>

* ~~Install the <tt>mediawiki-~~extensions~~</tt> package.~~

* Enter the <tt>/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-enabled</tt> directory.

* Enable extensions by creating symbolic links to contents of the <tt>/etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available</tt> directory.

** To enable all extensions, run: <tt>for i in ../extensions-available/* ; do sudo ln -s /etc/mediawiki-extensions/extensions-available/`basename $i` . ; done</tt>

~~===Enabling other Extensions===~~

* Download the extension to <tt>/var/lib/mediawiki/extensions</tt>

* See <tt>/var/lib/mediawiki/extensions/README</tt> for up-to-date information on enabling it
