IMHO there are so much useful extensions that I think it can be a
little much for that page.
For example if I edited that article I would put almost all extensions
from our distribution there... so I'm documenting them on
http://wiki.4intra.net/Category:Mediawiki4Intranet_extensions :-)
The question is, how much they are stable and secure. MediaWiki is
high-quality software that should not be impaired by low-quality
extension. Also, when extension is unmaintained, it's stability and
security becomes questional as well.
Also, I remember for major MW extensions scalability is the big problem.
Efficient SQL queries, using APC / Memcached cache, not invalidating
parser cache too often. For example my own Extension:QPoll is not
well-scaling requiring some major rewrites. That applies to many of
another extensions as well.
