Extensions/it

This is a list of all extensions installed on Miraheze, sorted by three categories: global extensions that are enabled on every wiki that cannot be disabled (and a brief reason why), default extensions that are enabled on new wikis by default but can be disabled, and extensions that are not enabled by default but can be enabled on individual wikis. This page also includes some of those extensions which have been requested but cannot be installed, and a brief reason as to why.

Global Extensions
Alcune estensioni sono abilitate di default in tutti i Wiki Miraheze e non possono essere disabilitate dai wiki locali. Queste estensioni sono elencate di seguito, con una breve ragione del perché sono globali.


 * AbuseFilter – Important anti-spam and anti-vandalism extension; allows administrators to prevent edits meeting certain regular expressions
 * AntiSpoof – Prevents impersonation user accounts from being created
 * BetaFeatures – Beta Features are installed globally but can be turned off in one's individual user preferences
 * CentralAuth – Defines the global user account system, without it user accounts would break
 * CentralNotice – Used for distribution of important notices about Miraheze, such as planned downtime
 * CheckUser – Important anti-vandalism extension that allows Miraheze Staff to find and block the underlying IP ranges of vandalism accounts
 * CreateWiki – This is how new wikis are created (perhaps the most important extension!). Installed globally but only used on Meta. The extension is enabled globally due to technical reasons as ManageWiki requires this extension and wikis will break if it is not enabled.
 * CookieWarning – Required for legal/privacy reasons
 * ConfirmEdit – Important anti-spam tool, generates a CAPTCHA to prevent unauthorized automated actions
 * Echo – This extension implements the user notification system
 * EventLogging – Required dependency for CentralNotice
 * GlobalBlocking – Important anti-spam and anti-vandalism extension, allows Miraheze Staff to block IP addresses that vandalize multiple wikis
 * GlobalCssJS – Part of the global account system, allows users to have custom interface styling applied to all wikis
 * GlobalPreferences – Part of the global account system, allows users to have default preferences (settings) on all wikis
 * IncidentReporting – Used internally by Miraheze system administrators for reporting incidents such as downtime. Installed globally but only has a function on Meta
 * Interwiki – Used to provide direct links from one Miraheze Wiki to another, and to other MediaWiki sites (such as these links to MediaWiki.org)
 * LocalisationUpdate – Essential/core part of MediaWiki interface
 * LoginNotify – Important security feature, notifies users about suspicious attempts to login to their accounts
 * ManageWiki – The extension used for managing wiki settings, including extensions. Turning this off would remove the ability to enable/disable other extensions
 * MatomoAnalytics – Internal Miraheze extension
 * Nuke – Important anti-vandalism extension, allows site administrators to mass delete multiple pages at once
 * OAuth – Internal Miraheze extension, used for linking wiki accounts with accounts for Miraheze Phabricator
 * OATHAuth – Important security feature, used for implementing 2-factor authentication
 * ParserFunctions – Essential/core part of MediaWiki interface
 * ParsoidBatchAPI – Required dependency for VisualEditor and Flow
 * RenameUser – Implements the ability for Miraheze Staff to rename user accounts on request (otherwise this would be impossible)
 * RottenLinks – Internal Miraheze extension that checks for dead or broken external links on wiki pages
 * Scribunto – Essential/core part of MediaWiki interface
 * SpamBlacklist – Important anti-spam feature, allows administrators to blacklist spam websites from being mentioned
 * SyntaxHighlight – Essential/core part of MediaWiki interface
 * TitleBlacklist – Important anti-vandalism extension, allows administrators to prevent pages with certain titles and certain usernames from being created
 * TorBlock – Important anti-vandalism and anti-spam extension, prevents vandals from using Tor to rapidly change IP addresses
 * UserMerge – Allows Miraheze Staff to merge contributions of one user account into another. Not used frequently but is used for various maintenance purposes
 * WikiDiscover – Internal Miraheze extension that shows all Miraheze wikis with some general information about them
 * WikiEditor – Essential/core part of MediaWiki interface

Declined extensions
Many extensions have been requested but are not able to be installed for various reasons. The most common reasons are that the extension introduces security and/or privacy risks that cannot be mitigated, that the extension is not being actively maintained upstream, or that the extension conflicts with a global extension that cannot be removed. The following is a list of declined extensions, and a brief reason why they are declined.


 * AccessControl – Doesn't work on MediaWiki 1.29+, and also has privacy issues
 * BlueSpice – Security risk
 * Configure – No longer maintained upstream (hasn't worked since MediaWiki 1.18), and ManageWiki essentially does the same thing
 * ConfirmAccount – incompatible with CentralAuth - since user accounts exist globally it is not possible to have individual wikis require accounts be approved
 * DeleteBatch – Technical limitations, see T956
 * DNSlookup – Invades user privacy
 * EditAccount – Incompatible with CentralAuth - since user accounts are global, editing a user's information on one wiki would affect all wikis. Also allowing other users to change email addresses and passwords is a major privacy and security risk
 * EditUser – Same reasons at EditAccount
 * EmbedAnything – Security risk
 * EmbedVideo – Security risk
 * External Data – Security risk (SQL injection)
 * ExternalLinks – Security risk, see T1555
 * Html2Wiki - Unreadable code, see T2740
 * Html5mediator – Declinato a causa di problemi di sicurezza (inserimento arbitrario di JS), T1640.
 * Markdown – Not actively maintained upstream
 * MiniInvite – Security risk
 * MultiUpload – Not maintained upstream** - You can use MsUpload which provides similar functionality
 * OpenID Connect – Security risk
 * Page Schemas - Unmaintained, likely requires Semantic MediaWiki, which is also declined (See the relevant task)
 * PluggableAuth – Security risk
 * SecurePoll – Reveals private information
 * Semantic MediaWiki – Miraheze does not currently have the resources to support SMW. You can use Cargo instead.
 * Semantic Text Annotator – Requires Semantic MediaWiki
 * Site settings – ManageWiki does the same thing (actually even more), and up until recently had a major security flaw
 * Tasks Extension – Flagged as unstable, indicating one or more parts, or even the entire extension, is broken
 * UploadWizard – Extension is too specific for Wikimedia. Unsuitable for independent wikis to be using it. See T288.
 * UserGroups – ManageWikiPermissions does the same thing.
 * Widgets – See 23-12-2020 Security Disclosure
 * WikiBanner – We don't accept ads
 * Extensions made by Fandom that do not have independent on mediawiki.org – extensions such as Special:Withoutimages, MediaWiki:ImportJS, and Special:AdminDashboard are too specific for Fandom. Use similar extensions instead.

Disclaimers

 * Requesting new extensions: If you would like to request a new extension, please create a task on Phabricator. Please be aware that any extensions which are not in use by one or more Wikimedia Foundation projects will require a security review before being installed. The purpose of this review is to check the code to make sure there are no vulnurabilities that would expose either Miraheze as a whole and/or individual users of the extension to security and/or privacy risks. Unfortunately, this review process is severely backlogged, and therefore extension reviews can take several weeks to in some cases several months.


 * Estensioni limitate: Alcune estensioni nella lista delle estensioni abilitate globalmente sono limitate e non possono essere usate da wiki e utenti individuali, e possono essere usate esclusivamente dai membri dello Staff di Miraheze - sia Stewards e/o Amministratori di sistema. Questo è di solito per una o entrambe le seguenti ragioni: l'estensione rivela informazioni private che in molte circostanze non dovrebbero essere accessibili, ma potrebbe essere necessario accedervi per fermare lo spam e il vandalismo; e/o l'estensione ha effetti sul funzionamento generale di Miraheze e quindi l'uso dell'estensione al di fuori di Meta Wiki romperebbe le cose.


 * Note about MultiUpload: This extension is no longer being actively maintained upstream and therefore is unsuitable for Miraheze. However, users who are familiar with another wiki hosting service, ShoutWiki, may be aware that the extension in use there. The extension is only being maintained as a local copy by ShoutWiki developers for their specific service, and even these developers have indicated that they will not continue to maintain it if it ultimately breaks down. Therefore, please use MsUpload instead, which provides similar functionality.
