Help:Extensions we use here and why

From SFSI

For local extensions, such as parser functions and dynamic page lists, see the Version page for an up-to-date complete list.

Here are some of the extensions we use and why:

Extension Use
CategoryTree Make category pages expandable via AJAX. Totally visual fluff, can do without.
DynamicPageList2 We use this to do smart inclusion of pages for things like Template:ResourceCategory. Life would suck without it.
EmailForm For training applications
ImageMap Right now, just on the donations page (click on an image to go to an external website).
ParserFunctions All over the place for lots of magic. Use should be confined to templates.
RegexParserFunctions In Template:Resource to generate the list of categories. Critical.
sfsi_tabs Disable control tabs when user isn't logged in.
