1. I modified http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Extension

which renders the Infobox to include three instead of two links:

   list open bugs - list all bugs - report a bug

This makes it easier to file a bug and avoids mistakes, as "report a
bug" now directly brings users to the correct bug component
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=<Extensionname>

If this has not been set up, Extension maintainers with their extensions
in SVN can simply add

bugzilla=<componentline>

e.g. add
bugzilla=LiquidThreads

to the template call on their extension page.

2. Started to make extensive use of {{shortcut | <shortcutname> }} on
Extension pages,
and would like to encourage you to help adding such markers for
important extensions or extensions you maintain, too.

Will find a way to make that case-insensitive. Currently, shortcutnames
are uppercase. Personally, I would prefer to have the shortcuts working
case-insensitively, and also printed the shortcutnames in lower-case,
but this is more a style and guideline question.

3. Published a third book in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MVL :
MediaWiki Interwiki and Interlanguage Guide
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wikinaut/Books/MediaWiki_Interwiki_and_Interlanguage_Guide>
( MVL = MediaWiki Virtual Library )

As I like the books very much, perhaps you can help to publish about
that MVL in other places. I will contact the SignPost Editor to write
something about the MVL.
