<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Extensions allow us to customize how the ISSS MediaWiki looks and works.<br />
<br />
* All ISSS Wiki users can browse through extensions.<br />
* Only System administrators can install (or remove) extensions.<br />
<br />
There are many types of extensions, such as:<br />
* '''Parser tags''' Extend the built-in wiki markup with additional capabilities, whether simple string <br />
* '''Parser functions''' Special wiki markup syntax that can 'interact' with other wiki elements in the page, and give a specific output.<br />
* '''Hooks''' Allow custom code to be executed when some defined event (such as saving a page or a user logging in) occurs.<br />
* '''Special pages''' Created by the software on demand to perform a specific function.<br />
* '''Skins''' Allow users to customize the look and feel of MediaWiki.<br />
* '''Magic words''' Technique for mapping a variety of wiki text strings to a single ID that is associated with a function.<br />
* '''API''' Provide an action API, a web service that allows access to some wiki-features like authentication, page operations, and search.<br />
* '''Page content models''' For example, the ContentHandler introduced in MediaWiki 1.21 makes it possible for wiki pages to be composed of data other than wikitext, such as JSON or Markdown.<br />
* '''Authentication''' Provide SessionManager and AuthManager, two authentication-related frameworks to enhance security via custom authentication mechanisms.<br />
<br />
