Non-Standard Features
Currently, the VTLUUG Wiki has two plugins installed: ReCAPTCHA and SlippyMap. See Special:Version for exact versions. Also, the interwiki links table has been tweaked. Currently, we support the interwiki links below. The $1 will be replaced with intended page name. See the source of this section for several examples.
