Common Plugins

DokuWiki comes with a small number of bundled plugins. However almost every installation, large or small, has use of some more plugins.

Looking through the wealth of plugins (more than 600) may be hard for new users and popular plugins may not always be the best choice. The solution is this list of common useful plugins compiled by experienced DokuWiki users.

Note to editors: We should keep this list short, well motivated and updated. If needed provide more than one alternative.

editx - There is no core functionality to rename pages. Editx plugin is able rename and move pages between different namespaces while trying to preserve the page history. Seems to be a replacement for at least some of the PageMove functionality. Maintains history but doesn't update backlinks as of 10/28/2011.

We should recommend some plugin(s) for highlighting messages, like Wrap Plugin, Note Plugin or box plugin

Discussion Plugin, Blog Plugin and BlogTNG Plugin are another common group of plugins.

Maybe some navigation plugin like Indexmenu plugin, Tag Plugin and Cloud Plugin

Last on my list is something in the category Gallery Plugin
