Purpose

Allows a wiki page to include a dynamic listing of links to other pages based on a category or other criterion. Also provides an RSS feed and integration with Lua modules for more customized presentation.

Special install instructions

No response

Uninstall instructions

No database changes. If a page uses the extension to display a dynamic page list, the list will disappear gracefully. Any dependent Lua modules could produce errors, similar to when there’s a Lua syntax error, but these errors would not cascade into server errors.
