Denied extension requests

 * DiscordNotifications (GitLab ticket) - The code is not suitable for our platform, but we like the functionality. This is something we'd like to investigate doing ourselves in the future.
 * EditNotify - Configuration too complex for setup and maintenance.
 * External Data - Too many security concerns to allow it.
 * FixedHeaderTable (GitLab ticket) - We like the idea of the functionality and will implement something similar ourselves.
 * GlobalUsage - Requires too much development work to get it working on our platform that we can't invest at this time. We can revisit it in the future, if there's a strong case for it.
 * Graph - Requires a NodeJS service just to generate a graph. This is too much just to display graphs.
 * Kartographer (GitLab ticket) - We'd rather develop an easier to use tool ourselves for mapping.
 * NewUserMessage - Twitch login integration does not support MediaWiki account creation tracking.
 * NumberFormat - Code quality not up to current MediaWiki standards.
 * PageInCat - Buggy code and unmaintained.
 * PortableInfobox - Not at this time. Requires more discussion on the future of integrated platforms and features.
