Description

I think it would be nice if a magic word was added that displayed the amount of extensions that a user has enabled in their MediaWiki installation along with a column in either Special:Statistics or Special:Version. Especially on large MediaWiki installations that have lots of extensions enabled such as Wikipedia & all the other Wikimedia Foundation sites that run the software.

What's the use case for this?

Since when did there have to be a "use case"? I'm just suggesting something...

In general, we don't add things to core unless we expect that most of our users will use them.

Any added code creates maintenance costs. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug - "A description of what you would like to achieve, and why."
