Allow larger header for a channel
Currently the header for a channel is short. I'd like to see this expanded to a block of text that wraps.

Microsoft Active Directory SSO with reverse proxy REMOTE_USER
For advanced enterprises with sophisticated authentication requirements, this feature would allow authentication through REMOTE_USER information passed in via HTTP headers
This feature requires a fundamental change to the Mattermost user model so that users can exist outside of teams.
Several threads have discussed this feature:

Integrate with Discourse
It would be fantastic if Mattermost could share user registrations from Discourse, so that our users only have to register/login once to use essentially the same site.
39 votesThere is a community integration available for connecting Mattermost with Discourse:

enable other databases, e.g. Oracle.
Having support for other databases, e.g. Oracle, is crucial as this is common infrastructure in enterprise IT landscapes.

Provide an alternative to websockets for updates
Websockets don't work properly behind a squid proxy. It would be great to have a swap-in replacement for them that doesn't require patching Mattermost! Currently we cannot use Mattermost because of this issue, even though the installation itself is fine, because we're keeping it internal to the VPN that squid is running on.

Allow response from outgoing webhooks
In slack an outgoing webhook can reply with:
Hi, I have a (working) slack webhook that responds with like:{ "text": "Thanks! Build was queued" }
These responses are ignored by mattermost currently. It would be great if they worked too.

Add line numbers to code blocks
We would like code posted in messages to have a syntax highlighter for different programming languages (we would be interested in bash, php, css, html etc. Having line numbers would also be nice so when discussing code you can easily know what line you are talking about.

Multi-tag channels / tag creation on the fly
I am not sure if this has been implemented or not:
What I am looking for is the possibility of participants to subscribe to certain tags and create meta-channels that participants can generate by selecting multiple tags.
(I would like to use Mattermost to allow for informal discussions at my research institutes - across different research groups. The idea is to find common interests, needs, etc.)

API specification
Cross posted from GitHub issues: https://github.com/mattermost/platform/issues/69
I see that the code appears to be logically organised around a clean-looking API; I can go and read through the Go source and get to understand it, but it'd be better if there were a specification of that API clearly written somewhere for reference. As this is a developing project, it'd especially be useful to know what parts of the API are considered "stable".
Lets-Chat have an API spec which was invaluable to me in writing a Python API wrapper and I'd love to do the same for Mattermost. :)

Advanced search; perhaps using google type shortcodes
There is currently no way to exclude results, or to get results where multiple conditions exist;eg
Returns only where both terms are found : termA AND termB
returns only termA but not if termB exists : termA -termB
etc...10 votes -
Filter Search/channel by tag.
It would be nice to have a bar along the top or side of the ui that could be populated with tag so that the user could filter their search results, or channel contents by filters.
Currently search is inclusive, which makes it hard to reduce the number of search results. Tag filtering would be one method to improve this.10 votes -
Timer for channels
Add a timer - like an egg clock.
"I set the timer on this channel to 15minutes, and when its over, @channel gets a notification to stop their tasks and message the results here"
"Ok, everybody brainstorm this idea until the channel timer bleeps"
"Scrum meeting is delayed 30 minutes, I set up a timer so you dont miss the start of it"

Enable export and import of Display Settings
Similar to theme export/import, have UI under display settings that lets you export and import font, language, themes and other options under Account Settings > Display based on a piece of text that can be copied and pasted from an input box

Expose message edit histories
If users are given the ability to edit their messages, it is useful, at least for moderators and admins, to be able to see what their previous messages were. This is so that disputes between users can be resolved, where a user responds to a message that is subsequently edited to change the context and meaning of the response.
