WordPress:WPMU Plugin Compatibility
WPMU Plugin Compatibility
This list is a work in process, which we encourage you to help improve.
Special WPMU Plugins
http://wpmudev.org/plugins.php contains a listing of some special plugins for WPMU. These provide a unifying context so that the multiple blogs make sense.
The wpmudev.org site does not allow users to arbitrarily edit any page (like it would if it was a wiki). Like blog sites it does allow commenting on some of the pages.
Regular WP Plugins
Most regular plugins do work with MU, so the popular opinion is that there is little point keeping a list of the ones that do work.
The following are particularly favourite with WPMU though:
