Overview
Admin Links is an extension to MediaWiki that provides a new special page meant to hold links that are useful to an administrator; it attempts to function as a "control panel" for the actions that a wiki administrator typically has to perform. Any user can access this page, but for administrators a new link to this page is placed within their "personal URLs" (between "Talk" and "Preferences").
Admin Links provides an API that other extensions can call in order to add their own sections and links to the page; links can be to both special pages and outside documentation URLs, among others.
For more information, see the extension homepage at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Admin_Links
