Extension:NoTitle

Just put __NOTITLE__ on any pages where you want to hide the title.

Extension:BrettCrumbs

BrettCrumbs is a play on words for BreadCrumbs Navigation. This form of navigation assumes that you have created your wiki pages in a hierarchy based on the forward slash ("/") character.

Example: http://www.yourmediawiki.org?title=foo/bar/ray

Breadcrumb: home < foo < bar < ray
