<p>You need some feature for your wiki, and you look through the set of relevant extensions in MediaWiki, but none of them do quite what you're looking for. Or perhaps one does, but it seems way too complex for the task. Should you consider developing your own extension? Or at least helping with the development process? This talk covers some ideas on when to make something new and when to make do, with reference to specific experience trying to create alternatives for extensions including FlaggedRevs, Collection, VisualEditor and more.
</p><p>The Enterprise MediaWiki Conference Spring 2018, or EMWCon Spring 2018, will be held March 21-23 in Houston, TX. EMWCon is a three-day conference featuring discussions of topics related to "Enterprise MediaWiki", i.e. the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, and other organizations. The intended audience of EMWCon Spring 2018 is anyone who uses, or would like to learn more about, MediaWiki within organizations.

This is the third EMWCon. EMWCon began as a spinoff of the Semantic MediaWiki Conference, or SMWCon, which is an annual conference held each fall in Europe. EMWCon and SMWCon are both three-day conferences with similar topics of discussion, though EMWCon has a broader scope.
