Add a hook/configuration to allow site admins to easily add fields (rather than hacking it up and creating forks *cough*ContactPageFundraiser*cough*).
This came about about some tiny discussion in the channel about bug 26813.
This would get around needing to keep the bitrotted ContactPageFundraiser which also has some few i8n/display issues as well (but that is another matter)
Version: unspecified

| Resolved | None | T26682 Change wikimediafoundation.org's ContactPage extension | |||
| Resolved | Reedy | T34677 Change key name for Special:Contact in ContactPage extension | |||
| Resolved | Reedy | T28880 Make ContactPage extensible |
Hooks are present, i.e. "ContactFormBeforeMessage" and ""ContactForm. With r76660 ff. and r76694 I made the ContactPage more flexible, see the README how to create differenct forms with the same extension.
I use this in http://wikimedia.de/wiki/Spezial:Kontakt/mitgliedschaft
Therefore I think this bug can be closed as WFM but maybe someone see another usecase which needs another hook.
Bug 24682 suggests a config for replacing the one-off one with the stock one; needs to be checked to see if it's sufficient. If so, then this bug can be closed out; if not then whatever needs adding needs to be added.
Once done and live, it'll be safe to remove the ContactPageFundraiser ext.
