Upload types

From mediawiki manual (upload file extensions), in LocalSettings.php change

$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ppt', 'pdf', 'doc', 'psd', 'mp3',
                           'xls', 'tgz', 'zip', 'swf', 'doc', 'odt', 'odc', 'odp', 'odg', 'mpp',
                           'java', 'c', 'h', 'asm', 'jar', 'jnlp', 'class', 'wrl', 'sat',
                           'obj', 'stl', 'xml');

Extensions

To be done

A number of extensions to the wiki software has been requested for installation:

• A feed reader extension such as this one must be installed to allow us to e.g. 'stream' official blog feeds directly into the Newsroom.
• something to aid with the acronyms, Glossary
• something to ease creation of tutorials, like inserting multimedia files OggHandler, or embed video / audio
• timeline

 ?

• Variables Extension in order to define parameters of design.

--Joshua 18:29, 18 February 2009 (EST)

• • I belive we don't need this
• charting capabilities , graphviz ? gnuplot ?

• integration with project management or bug tracking
• voting
• Painting, a collaborative sketching tool. --Justinw 17:48, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

To know what other extensions are being used on a MediaWiki project, users have to look at the Special:Version page, as example, the English Wikipedia extensions. Other sites' extensions: Blender, EduTech, StarWars, BattleStar, Semantic Web, JMars, France5.
