New extensions, new cool tricks
I am personally hesitant on this one.
I understand the frustration people have about wiki syntax coming over from Markdown, however, I also feel that with good docs (see our [[Help:Contributing]!) and 30 minutes of patience, one can learn the wiki syntax.
What I am not sure about, is how this extension will influence the external/internal compatibility of RonzzWikiBase: wikitext is the expected syntax for MediaWiki pages. Extensions, APIs, and everything expects that. Markdown, although simpler and LLM-native as the authors of this extension reasoned, is genuinely an unexpected custom shape at the content layer. The scary part, is even if we can have some idea what it will break today by doing a full audit of our actual code (already something costly), we have no idea what will break tommorow.
This one is simply `Special:Upload` optimised for batch uploading.
I would not hesitate to install this when needs arise.
Just a few tweaks that we will probably need to put in place before:
- config: per user file storage limits: to prevent people from spamming the file space - tweaks to the extension: integrate existing `Special:Upload` licence/attribution handling
Once we start working with geo-data at RonzzWikiBase, I will install this.
