[Mediawiki-l] Featured content?

[Sean O'Connor]

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone could point me to the extension (or perhaps I've
missed the built-in method) to get featured content on the main page
of the wiki, a bit like wikipedia does?

What I'd like to accomplish is to pin one or two articles to the front
page and rotate that on a regular basis.

As an aside, I seem to remember a way to view which extensions were
used on a particular wiki, but the method now eludes me.  Any info
greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Sean
