Disambiguator: Adds a magic word that added an internal tag for disambiguation pages, viewable on a special page. Add so we can see exactly how many Disambiguation pages we are (more accurate than just having a category).

Custom Data: Dependency for the next extension.

Related Pages: An extension used on WikiVoyage. Powerless on it's own, when a template that hooks into it called {{related|tropename}} is added (more than one can be added to a page), it will add related pages to a section on the sidebar on a per page basis. This is meant to mimic the "Related pages" feature on TV Tropes.

Online Status: A new option has been added to user preferences that will allow a user to set their "online status as online/offline and have the appropriate message display as a subtitle under your user name on your user page. Meant for those who leave their computers on all the time or stay logged in most of the time but want to let other know when they are/aren't available.

Well also soon be establishing interwiki links between ourselves and our newly established dutch counterpart, so any page that has a different language version will show up as an interwiki link on the sidebar in it's own Languages section (like on Wikipedia).

(see this page for a demonstration of our new Related Pages functionality.

I thought our version of "Related Pages" was the "What links here" in the Tools sidebar. The "What links here" is missing the how many people got here counter, and it doesn't give a flat out number, but you can figure the second one out with math.

That's because MediaWiki doesn't have that feature (how many people got here) by default.

We'd need a site traffic measuring extension for that info.

Also, "what links here" is just a list of all pages with links to that page. Related Pages are a list of actual tropes related to the trope page in question, not just every page with a link to the trope page.
