The EducationProgram extension is a MediaWiki software add-on to the English Wikipedia. It was developed for Wikipedia:Course pages but it will be reconfigured

Existing bugs

Existing bugs in the program are known, and they can be found by searching at Bugzilla or the archives of WP:ENB. The bugs include the problems of creating two pages in the same namespace and having selection lists autopopulate with nonsensical items. It's a large and unweildy piece of software.

What's the purpose?

What should be the point of the extension? One valuable feature is that it it enables the tracking of a group of editors. This tracking feature could be extended to WikiProjects, edit-a-thons, or any selection of editors you may wish to follow.
