As per http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions#Publishing_your_extensio..., I am notifying this list of a newly added MediaWiki extension called Favorites:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Favorites

This extension is not 1.17 ready, but works well in 1.16. Please feel free to review, alter, update as needed. This is my first stab at writing an extension, and I'm sure I didn't follow all the accepted conventions. But I did base my code off of MW php, so it should at least be safe.

Thanks!
