==Extensions wishlist==

* A working version of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialMultiUploadViaZip MultiUploadViaZip] that also accepts 7z files.
 +
: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleBatchUpload Not quite the same, but a nice alternative to uploading multiple files without UploadLocal?] - [[User:Scarred Sun|Scarred Sun]] ([[User talk:Scarred Sun|talk]]) 07:51, 4 November 2017 (CDT)

* OBJ or some other 3D object viewer (with PNG thumbnails). Maybe [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:3DAlloy 3DAlloy]. Something that supports textured models would be better (for example, loading the model and texture files from a single zip file).
 +
* Something that can read bytes from uploaded files.
 +
* Something that can view the contents of zip/7z files ("ZipHandler").
 +
: I'm imagining the file page for a zip contains a list of all its files, each of which has its own file page and can be viewed/downloaded individually (e.g. "File:Zipfile.zip/Anotherfile.bin"). Also thumbnails for contained files ("File:Zipfile.zip/icon.png").
 +
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Sync Sync] looks like a good way to share templates between wikis. From what I can tell it would only needed to be installed on Retro CDN.
 +
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data External Data] so we can share info stored in Cargo tables.
 +
* PSD thumbnails. PSDs contain layer information that gets lost when converted and uploaded as PNGs. Maybe thumbnails for other formats too, such as TIF. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PagedTiffHandler PagedTiffHandler] would work.
 +
* RTF/DOC/DOCX/PPT thumbnails.
 +
* Something to bulk copy files from here to Retro CDN (by category for example).
 +
* Something to bulk delete pages/files (by category for example). [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DeleteBatch Extension:DeleteBatch] might be good if it works on files.
 +
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileImporter FileImporter] and [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileExporter FileExporter]
 +
* More video formats for TimedMediaHandler: MKV, AVI, FLV etc.
 +
* DjVu thumbnails. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_use_DjVu_with_MediaWiki Apparently possible].
