:I can't comment on whether the latter is an exhaustive list, but the former decidedly isn't. It literally says "This is a non-comprehensive list". Or, rather, the latter plus the former, since the latter explicitly says that they don't use comments or SMW, which ''are'' present on some Fandom wikis. So we just can't know until we ask. But, yes, I am aware that all of these are non-standard.

::These aren't exhaustive lists, but a lot of the extensions not listed on either aren't interesting. Scroll down [[Special:Version]] to see what I mean. The second list is the extensions that were available on Gamepedia before that merged with Fandom. Gamepedia tended to allow more freedom with extensions than Fandom, so that's where most of the interesting ones are found, even if it is missing a few that are available after merging with Fandom. As a rule, if you can find a wiki on Fandom with a given extension, than it may be available, and if you can't, it's almost certainly not. To go into a bit of detail on a few specific extensions, Extension:SiteMetrics and Extension:HitCounters have overlap with the admin-only [[Special:Analytics]] (which Fandom doesn't like admins sharing details of), so I can't see them enabling those. As far as I'm aware, Extension:AJAXPoll (or something similar) used to be available but no longer is. I don't know why.

:::HitCounters is a more robust version of a feature that existed as of, what, 2.5 years ago? (It used to be possible for any user to see the most popular pages, but the migration to UCP removed it.) It's possible they'd say no. But I don't think it's cut and dry. But at the end of the day if these aren't likely to work they aren't likely to work.
