Forum:CreatePlates, don't use or better alternative?

I was looking at w:c:help:Help:CreatePlates and there is a big banner on top that says: This extension is no longer under development It may still be on specific wikis, but may not be widely available.

Does that mean we shouldn't try to use it or ask for it to be enabled?

Is there a good alternative? I kind of liked this feature. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 10:01 AM PST 2 Jun 2010


 * I think i've read somewhere that something else would come up as a replacement.
