Extension request

(mostly copied from User talk:senso)

A string manipulation extension would allow things to be dynamically created from raw files and other powerful templates. With the upcoming big change to creature structure in DF, something that pulls info directly from raw data would really help rework the creature pages. I've been looking through some extensions, and one of these would fit well (in order of preference)

  1. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultiReplace
  2. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RegexParserFunctions
  3. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StringFunctions

The first one is a replacement function that can preform multiple replacements in one call (and it supports regex). The second one is a straightforward regex engine, and the last one is a collection of string manipulations. For my suggested purpose just one of the three would be enough, but none of them completely covers the tasks the of others. So, if possible, having all of them would be best.
