Summary: Allow extensions to be installed, and other $wg...
configuration changes to be made, without manually
modifying LocalSettings.php
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.13.2
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]

It's not particularly convenient to have to manually modify LocalSettings.php
every time one wants to add/remove an extension or change other basic settings.
It seems like it would be easier to allow this to be done through a system
similar to the System Messages screen. We could have checkboxes for all
presently installed extensions, and a checkbox next to a one-line blank form
(for allowing entry and installation of new extensions), and an update button.
Perhaps a new type of user (in addition to Sysop, Bureaucrat, Oversight, etc.)
could be created for doing these major configuration changes.
Also, we might consider adding libraries of commonly-installed extensions (e.g.
ParserFunctions, Cite, etc.) so that the user can just select those checkboxes
if they want to install it.
