Game console
We should add a category specific to game console accessories, such as controllers and other peripherals. (Edit: It's done.) SgtPeppers (talk)
 * Feel free to add that category, SgtPeppers. Ask for help on Discord if you get stuck. Karar (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2021 (PDT)
 * If I may suggest: Would it not be better to have a wider 'Peripherals' Page, much like Phones and Tablets have their own? To me, it seems like a stronger consolidation, since most are USB-based these days, and relatively interchangeable between platforms, even if they were designed with specific platforms in mind. Gamepads, mice, and keyboards are all more similar to each other, than to the towers they plug into, in my opinion. Pie75 (talk) 00:42, 1 June 2021 (SAST)
 * That sounds like a good idea, feel free to create the Peripherals page & Category:Peripherals category. Karar (talk) 12:32, 1 June 2021 (CEST)

Extension Install Requests
This link may be useful to you: How to install Extensions
 * Visual Editor | a lot of people will probably prefer to edit in this mode since they won't need to learn "code" for styling text, putting in images etc.
 * ParserFunctions | Basically allows for logic-based "what if" coding in WikiText. Necessary to create complex Templates in the future.
 * InputBox | This is an extension that lets us insert intuitive "Create New Page"
 * Image upload in edit page mode | since uploading images is pain in the ass otherwise I really recommend this
 * Embed Videos | Allows us to embed YouTube videos on the site instead of merely linking to them.
 * Category Tree, | this would help with categorizations of pages
 * CSS & Code editor | Helps style the wiki
 * Hit counters | Lists what pages are viewed the most in order to prioritize workloads
 * Comments or Comment Streams | (unsure which one is better), a lot of people don't realize that there is a discussion page on every page, this would help people to ask about specific thing on a specific page

 * If I may add as well, Scribunto is a great extension that adds module support which is something that I can definitely see a purpose for in the future. ElijahPepe 16:20, 2 May 2021 (PDT)


 * Additional product category suggestions:
 * Interactive Displays
 * Projectors
 * Networking Devices (I'll give examples because I'm not sure if this is the best title for the category)
 * Routers
 * Switches
 * Access Points
 * Repeaters
 * IoT Devices

Extension Request
The User Profile extenstion would be a nice addition. Skolander (talk) 23:31, 2 June 2021 (CEST)
