[pmwiki-users] New features to be enabled in the PmWiki core

[Dominique Faure]

Hi,

As far as the purpose is to ease the wiki maintenance, here's the list of
recipes (not counting my own ones) I'm used to install almost
unconditionally and that I'd love to get in the core:

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/LocalCSS
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Toggle
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MovePage
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ExpireDiff
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/NewPageBoxPlus
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CaseCorrection
https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUp

Regards
