We have	around 30 wikis at our site, some are used a lot, some just lay 
dormant.

Important recipes for us:

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SortableTables

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiStylesPlus

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/DragDropMultiUpload

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SourceBlock

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MovePage
(I have	an idea	for this recipe. How about including by	default	a semi-hidden 
"Trash"-group in the wiki, and then there could be a choice to move pages 
to that group...)

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/HandyTableOfContents
(we have just installed	this but it seems very convenient)

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MultiLanguageViews
(super important on one of our sites. Very good.)

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Captcha

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/TellAFriend
(important for us but recipe seems to be abandoned since many years.
It works well after some changes to the code...)

Wishlist:

-Something that	_clearly_ indicates to users that they must specify
their username when saving. We are forcing this and if username has not been 
specified
before it can be confusing. The boira skin seems to do this well.

-A way for users to add/remove a selected number of recipes/skins
to their sites,	without	editing	config.php.

-A safer way to move many pages a once without using wikish.
I have it installed for	myself to sometimes do "mv *" stuff, but it
doesn't	seem safe to have it enabled for users.
