List of current extensions

Summary by Henryfunk

Consulting Category:Extensions_by_status and the list of Extensions_by_status are useful and usable workarounds, though it was suggested that a category of extensions that have not been archived would be useful to people looking for extensions they can use.

It would be nice to have a category (page) for extensions that haven't been archived. I sometimes browse through the list of all extensions to get inspiration for new features for our site, but rather too many of the items on the list are now "stale", like this: Extension:AfterEdit.

Yeah, I guess this is your best shot.

The problem is that most of the extensions are no longer viable. If you check just a few tens (or hundreds, as I have) of the extensions in the category "All extensions" you will find that the majority have been archived, meaning they are obsolete. There should be a way to list all those extensions that can still be used.

Thanks, I see there's also a subcategory of stable extensions, which looks promising.
