MediaWiki

“ If your wiki adds stars or other icons to interwiki links for featured articles in other languages, you may need to change the JavaScript code. You can thank other users for their edits even if your browser does not have JavaScript. All edits made through Flow, the new discussion system for MediaWiki, are now visible in user's contributions. You can test it on the Flow talk page on MediaWiki.org. You can test a visual tool that shows edits made to an article over time. ”

“ The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar) . Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. Meetings
You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. ”

“ Also, MediaWiki development is backed by Wikimedia Foundation with strong financial support. It is very unlikely in the foreseeable future that there will be any development and maintenance problem with the codebase of Mediawiki. ”

“ The Nearby feature allows people who use mobile devices to see Wikipedia articles about objects and places around them. Future software changes The PostEdit feature is now part of MediaWiki, and will work on all wikis. (bug 48726) The Narayam and WebFonts extensions will be replaced by the Universal Language Selector extension. MediaWiki will now be updated every week, starting on June 6. ”

“ Recent software changes (Not all changes will affect you.) The latest version of MediaWiki (version 1.22/wmf4) was added to non-Wikipedia wikis on May 13, and to the English Wikipedia (with a Wikidata software update) on May 20. It will be updated on all other Wikipedia sites on May 22. A software update will perhaps result in temporary issues with images. Please report any problems you notice. MediaWiki recognizes links in twelve new schemes. Users can now link to SSH, XMPP and Bitcoin directly from wikicode. VisualEditor was added to all content namespaces on mediawiki.org on May 20. ”

“ The web-to-print service works on any MediaWiki which has deployed the open source Collection Extension. The company actively supports the MediaWiki community and established a long-term partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation. ”

“ Files uploaded to Wikimedia Commons are visible as files (and can be used on pages just like local files) on all the Wikimedia projects (i.e. the various language versions of Wikipedia or of Wikisource) . Here on Wikisource the Mediawiki installation has a special extension (called ProofreadPage) that provides functionality specifically to support transcribing and hosting written works (books, magazines, etc.) . ”

“ You can test the first version of the new mobile Wikipedia app for Android and iOS. Translatewiki.net, the site where you can translate the MediaWiki software, now has a new main page for users without an account. Future software changes
There will be no technical changes this week (December 23 to December 29) due to end-of-year holidays. When someone deletes, restores, uploads, or moves a file on Commons, pages on all wikis that use that file will be refreshed. ”

“ You can now test the new advanced search function beta feature on mediawiki.org. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It will come to German and Arabic Wikipedia this week. It will come to more wikis later. You can now upload large files with the Internet Archive upload tool. Previously you could not upload files larger than 100 MB. You can now use the Timeless skin on all wikis. You can choose skins in Special:Preferences#Appearance. ”

“ I won't say that isn't clever... and it certainly works... but it would be a brave person would come up with that solution up-front and expect it not to break the parser. In fact, I'm not too sure you'd always get away with mixing wikicode and pure HTML like that. I suspect coding the lot in raw HTML might be the safest/most comprehensible way—in which case what is mediawiki really doing for us other than supplying the editor? ”

“ This increased complexity is considered a cost with a negative impact on production [14] , but other factors related to the required technical skills or the lack of usability also matter. Literacy in technical design is a long-studied issue since some reports consider that the usability of the MediaWiki technology has significant room for improvement. ”

“ Happy for suggestions. Forcing it to the right hand side seemed overkill, so the other option is trailing on the page. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:56, 23 April 2011 (UTC) well, accepting the premise that the mediawiki template is basically a 2 column HTML table and the left-most column may hold what one day will mirror some form of metadata if not some kinship with the newer Commons "book" type templates down the road, I'd think we'd want to "keep right" and stick to the 'remarks' side along with that book creation tool icon. ”
