I don’t think any of them are particularly beautiful or maintained, but they are an essential part of our wiki, and might be useful to somebody out there…

Category Gallery:

Written for ClugPark, this extension displays all the images in a category together, as a gallery.

Usage:

<category-gallery category="PicturesOfPenguins" resizewidth="50" width="60" height="60"><category-gallery>

Mailman subscribe links:

Written for the Mailing Lists page, this extension displays mailman subscribe forms.

Usage:

<mailman>http://lists.example.com/mailman/subscribe/foobar</mailman>

Obfuscate e-mail addresses:

Written for the Contact a Committee Member page. I use my own simple Javascript that replaces innerHTML and href when you mouse over an e-mail link. I think it’s spambot-proof.

Usage:

<email domain="example.com">foobar</email>

I really enjoy a good hike, but lots of Table Mountain’s routes aren’t well documented. You need to have the right book, or walk them regularly (which I don’t).

So I try to document some here, were possible.
