## Overview

This repository is an index of MediaWiki extensions, not a single extension runtime. The README documents cloning the collection and initializing its submodules; the tree supplies extension names but not their implementations. The capability branches below are representative examples inferred from those names, so no runtime links between extensions are asserted.

Main entry points: [`README.md`](https://github.com/thehimanshoo/mediawiki-extensions/blob/master/README.md) (Extension collection), [`.gitmodules`](https://github.com/thehimanshoo/mediawiki-extensions/blob/master/.gitmodules) (Submodule manifest)
