WikiWho can do all of that, but it takes considerable effort to build its databases from the dumps.
It would be great if the Foundation could support more of the mediawiki-specific tools they build on top of. There is a lot of expertise in The WMF for building tools across all the languages, and an official Foundation app depending on a third-party tool which only supports five languages is going to get some pushback down the road. If the Foundation supported it, it would be less work to fold it in to a Mediawiki extension properly, so it doesn't require a browser-specific extension to run, too. It should really be part of the API.

Would also be nice if it worked on references, external links / urls, and policy pages. Not sure what would be required to add that capability?

This is great. But it looks like it's only available on EN:WP?
As the extension provides just a way to display the data provided by the WikiWho service [1], which supports just five sites (enwiki, dewiki, euwiki, trwiki, eswiki), this extension supports only those sites as well. Pity.
