I'd like to propose adding this extension:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Description2
By itself, it would provide us a SEO boost by automatically parsing the opening lede of a page for search engines and has functions to strip out templates and other things so our public facing search results show actual page content. If Miraheze can ever get CirrusSearch working again, when paired with the RelatedArticles extension, it would also make that look much more attractive with a nice blurb describing the page links. On it's own, it would not cause us issues in any way regardless.
Finally, I hope I don;t sound impatient, but I believe we might want to vote on the bot policy soon, as unless we missed something, we've ironed out most to all known issues at this point. Once we have it approved, I'll be happy to turn Gethbot loose fixing things you guys would like to have done.
