	Many MediaWiki extensions or non-default server configurations are incredibly useful for the day-to-day operation of the wiki. However, all changes of this nature have a cost, be it resources or simply installation issues. All requests to alter the wiki platform should go through this process.

	The Tenth Fleet Wiki technical team will check this page regularly for any new requests and post a response next to the request, indicating whether the change was accepted, and the request will be closed for a period of no less than four months.

	~~'''The Tenth Fleet Wiki administrators''': All current community requests are under ''[[#Community requests\|community requests]]'' below.~~

	~~== Submitting a request ==~~

	~~The first step in submitting a request should be to discuss it [[Tenth Fleet Wiki talk:Requests for technical administration\|on the talk page]]. A new heading should be created for every request.~~

	If there is consensus that the request would be beneficial to the wiki then a formal request should be created. Create a subpage of this article to hold the request and then include it in the "[[#Community requests\|community requests]]" heading below. This request must include the following details:

	~~; Title : Name and version (if applicable) of the software or change you request~~
	~~; Type : Note whether your request is the installation of a MediaWiki extension, a change to MediaWiki or IIS's configuration.~~
	~~; Reason : State clearly how the change you request will be used. Mention benefits of the change, particularly actions that are impossible or extremely cumbersome without this change.~~
	~~; Links : Provide links to relevant websites. Mention whether other prominent MediaWiki installations implement this change, and what problems (if any) they have encountered.~~
	; Possible pitfalls: Note potential pitfalls to making this change. This includes issues with server load and process execution time, potentially alienating markup on the wikitext of articles, or other tangible reasons why installing this alteration might not be a great idea. Most changes have at least one pitfall, so no change will be considered unless this section has something significant in it. If there really are no pitfalls, an explanation (or a link to one) explaining why this is the case is necessary.

	~~== Community requests ==~~
	~~The following formal requests have been discussed by the community [[Tenth Fleet Wiki talk:Requests for technical administration\|on the talk page]] and deemed to be beneficial to the wiki.~~
