purpose:
The Cite extension manages references and citations within MediaWiki, facilitating the organization and display of source material.

Features:

 * Footnoting: Cite provides tools to create footnotes within articles, allowing users to reference sources directly in the text.
 * References List: The extension generates a list of references automatically, organizing all citations in one place, typically at the end of the article.

purpose:
The Echo extension provides an in-wiki notification system that can be used by other extensions.

Features:

 * Comprehensive Notification System: Echo implements a detailed notification system that informs users about various events, such as mentions, edit reverts, new messages, and page links.
 * Customizable Notifications: Users can customize their notification preferences, choosing which types of alerts they want to receive and how they receive them.

purpose:
The VisualEditor extension allows for editing pages as rich content. It is based around a JavaScript library, also called "VisualEditor", that can potentially be used outside of MediaWiki as well.

Features:

 * Interface: VisualEditor provides a "What You See Is What You Get" interface, allowing users to edit pages visually. This eliminates the need for learning and using complex wikitext, making the editing experience more intuitive and user-friendly.
 * Real-Time Editing: Changes made in VisualEditor are displayed in real-time, offering immediate visual feedback and reducing the likelihood of formatting errors.
