|Implement "Lingo" extension
|Rebuild Sponsorship page
|"Lingo" is a stable and well-maintained extension that enables word definition on hover for admin-defined terms on all pages. For a heavy acronym space like ICANN, this is much more desirable than forcing users to open multiple tabs to be able to read an article. Available at: [https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lingo]

|Fix "HotCat" extension error
|Implement a solution for dynamic graphs display
|Using "HotCat" to categorize a page from its bottom bar consistently throws the user to an edit page containing "It appears that your browser does not support Unicode. It is required to edit pages, so your edit was not saved." However, it does work otherwise, so it's probably an exception that needs to be caught.
|This would be handled by the "Graphs" extension, except it is completely broken as of 2024[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Plans][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334940]. A custom implementation can be worked out, but needs to be planned properly.

|Add dark theme
|Add Extension:Popups
|Dark mode is a modern option preferred by many tech workers. It is now fully implemented in a series of ways, though not directly in Vector. We should implement it as a toggle in the wiki's top bar. We just need to choose one of the four approaches available: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Dark_mode Manual:Dark_mode]
