[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DarkMode Dark mode extension] for a softer look on the eyes. I personally use an extension already because I can't stand editing and when the page reloads and flashbangs me. It's an optional button and you scan switch which elements will be dark and which won't.

Summary of requests: software enhancements

Converting flow talk pages back to regular 'ol wikitex

See Team_Fortress_Wiki_talk:Technical_requests#Taking_requests_for_converting_talk_pages_back_to_regular_.27ol_wikitext.

Two-factor authentication

Extension:OATHAuth is an extension that adds the functionality of two-factor authentication to the Wiki. Would be a nice touch to security and to keep up with the times. Using it would remain optional and nothing would change for the users unless they choose to enable it themselves (disabled by default), so we won't see another Flow-talkpage-bad-please-remove situation here.

Upgrade MediaWiki

Greetings! Please update MediaWiki to the latest version (currently 1.35.10 LTS), thanks! — Tark 11:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Extension:Cargo

Implement Extension:Cargo. This extension would allow us to use local database queries to sync infoboxes globally, generate reports/tracking pages, and improve lists. See Dota Wiki. Tark 20:00, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Configuring Extension:ParserFunctions

Extension:ParserFunctions is an already super useful extension. It can be made even more useful by configuring it to set $wgPFEnableStringFunctions to true. This would allow the extension to also utilize many of the features of Extension:StringFunctions with a quick configuration change. ~ Boba 20:39, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
