 * ConfirmEdit - captcha to keep the bots away. I guess setting it up to use re-captcha (see this) would be sufficient. RJackson 20:55, 8 September 2011 (CDT)
 * No longer necessary thanks to Abuse Filters. - RJ 23:25, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Just an FYI, all MediaWiki friendly captchas have been broken by most bots for quite awhile now. They tend to only be an annoyance to legitimate users these days, so we normally don't use them any longer. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * ImageMap for clickable regions in images
 * Enable $wgAllowDisplayTitle in LocalSettings.php (I think) - that way translated pages can have their titles be the localised string for whatever they're documenting, instead of "Wafflesauce/es".


 * TitleKey so searching for "mantle of intelligence" will take you to the page "Mantle of Intelligence". --Kroocsiogsi 06:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Conversation at #mediawiki:

[22:37]  I'm confused about the search box, and how it works with capitalization. If I search www.dota2wiki.com for "mantle of intelligence", I do NOT end up at the page "Mantle of Intelligence". If I search en.wikipedia.org for "battle of britain house", I DO end up at "Battle of Britain House". Why? [22:38]  Is there a MediaWiki setting or extension that causes that to happen? [22:38] Wikipedia uses an extension that corrects this [22:39] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TitleKey

 * Variables update from 1.3 to completely rewritten 2.0.1. --Kroocsiogsi 02:00, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this will happen automatically with the 1.18 upgrade, as we look at all the extensions and make sure they are upgraded to the most current version. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  02:01, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

 * 1.18, for an improved editing toolbar and better gender support, among other improvements. At the very least, the 1.17.1 security release. --Kroocsiogsi 02:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not going to happen for quite awhile. Just an FYI. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  07:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It sounds like the team is going to go straight to 1.18, and are preparing the development server to start the process. They will be starting with the larger wikis and working their way down the list. I have not been given any timeline, but I will try to get a site notice up as soon as I find out. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  00:48, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
