I've been trying to understand how extensions work from the link you posted, and I'm not getting anywhere -- stuff about adding things to "your /extensions directory", which I haven't been able to find, though it appears from the Special:Version page that we do have a number of extensions already installed. What exactly would I be asking the staff to enable -- the AbuseFilter extension generally, or your filters specifically, or ..?

In visual edit mode, a comment appears only as a small orange square icon. A mouse-over on the icon displays the comment. The transcluded template itself appears only as a small light-green icon shaped like a puzzle piece, which I dare say is why it's so easy to delete accidentally.
