| style="background-color: orange; | '''DUE EARLY NOVEMBER''': Improve metadata for external links to ICANNWiki
|Currently the wiki does not feature rich metadata, and when linked from the outside, it produces only an ICANN logo. Solvable with: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta].

| style="background-color: orange; | '''DUE EARLY NOVEMBER''': Add dark theme
|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]

|Fix "HotCat" extension error
|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.

|Scope displaying a random card from ICANNWiki decks within a box
|To make good use of our cards, we could display a random card at the portal towards one of the top corners, dynamically changing it with every user visit. How to execute this is unclear and will require scoping.

|"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]
