Description:
A number of people told me to use this form for requesting installation of an extension.

A problem on Wikiversity is that "learning projects" (the basic particles of which WV consists) normally use subpages, and we need to improve our navigation tools for teachers creating projects. The solution is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList2, which some non-Wikimedia wikis (including a large educational one - zum.de) are already using. I've experimented with it myself (elsewhere), and it seems to be simple and just what we need. It appears to be based on a no-longer available extension written by Rob Church.

This has been discussed on the colloquium and on IRC at Wikiversity. "Consensus" is a strange concept there as we have very few people engaging in any one particular project. On the other hand, one bureaucrat and one user have supported my suggestion (on the colloquium) and another bureaucrat (from German WV) agreed on IRC. Nobody is against. That's probably consensus by our standards. See: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Colloquium#Requesting_a_new_extension_for_Wikiversity
