===TWiki extensions===

TWiki has a plugin API that has spawned over 300 extensions<ref>{{cite web|url=http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/PluginPackage |title=plugin packages |publisher=Twiki.org |access-date=2013-06-24}}</ref> to link into [[database]]s, create [[chart]]s, [[Tag (metadata)|tags]], sort tables, write [[spreadsheet]]s, create [[image gallery]] and [[slideshow]]s, make [[drawing]]s, write [[blog]]s, plot [[Graph (data structure)|graphs]], interface to many different [[authentication]] schemes, track [[Extreme Programming]] projects and so on.

===TWiki application platform===

TWiki as a [[structured wiki]] provides database-like manipulation of fields stored on pages,<ref name="TWiki Forms">{{cite web|url=http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiForms |title=TWiki Forms |publisher=Twiki.org |access-date=2009-07-07}}</ref> and offers a SQL-like query language to embed reports in wiki pages.<ref>[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/VarSEARCH SEARCH variable], [http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/FormattedSearch formatted search], [http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/QuerySearch SQL-like query search]</ref>

Wiki applications are also called [[situational application]]s because they are created ''ad hoc'' by the users for very specific needs. Users have built TWiki applications<ref>{{cite web|url=http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/TWikiApplication |title=Sample TWiki applications |publisher=Twiki.org |access-date=2009-07-07}}</ref> that include call center status boards, [[Task list|to-do lists]], [[inventory]] systems, [[employee handbook]]s, [[Bug tracking system|bug trackers]], [[blog]] applications, discussion forums, status reports with rollups and more.

===User interface===

The interface of TWiki is completely skinnable in templates, themes and (per user) [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]]. It includes support for [[internationalization]] ('[[I18N]]'), with support for multiple character sets, UTF-8 URLs, and the user interface has been translated into Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.<ref name="UserInterfaceLocalisation">
