Description Nemo 2013-01-09 10:08:15 UTC
Product description: "MediaWiki extensions, including MobileFrontend, ParserFunctions, WikiEditor, Cite, etc."
That's confusing enough, four random extensions chosen with no clear criteria. Oh well.
When one clicks it, "Select a component to read its description." -> long list next to it and even scrolling it all [Other] is just "Other extensions not in the list". 
Could please the product description or that "Select a component" instead say to file bugs to MediaWiki>General/Unknown if one doesn't know what extension it is? Or [other] could be renamed to be other/unknown with some leading character putting it to the top of the list, but looks more complex than needed.

No idea why the description of the Bugzilla product "MediaWiki extensions" mentions specifically those extensions - let's remove them?

First one sounds like a good idea - I wouldn't rename "[other]" as I guess it wouldn't help: If people don't know the extension name the problem is about, they might not know that it IS an extension causing the problem either. :)
