ParserExtensions

In the spirit of it being easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, I installed ParserExtensions which is on like every wiki. It will allow us to make much more powerful templates and should have zero bad effects. I asked Matt but wanted to get it done between meetings today. Easy to revert, though. Only changes were to create extensions/ParserFunctions directory and add these lines to LocalSettings.php:

## The following is for ParserExtensions
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );
$wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;

This opens the door to have templates that are smarter about auto-categorization and stuff like that. Examples forthcoming. -Mattie 16:57, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Enhanced Recent Changes Page

I've been playing around with this built-in feature, not sure if you guys use it or not. Go to "my preferences" and the "Recent Changes" tab, to enable it.

It takes some getting used to, but after a bit, I love it. How it looks, below.
