This page will serve as the roadmap for continued site development. As you can see, running this site takes work, so please consider donating!

Current tasks

Major tasks

  • create a tree of all the categories

Old tasks by Admin 1/Enigma

  • Fix VisualEditor extension bug
  • Install infoboxes
  • Investigate multi-language support
  • update logo
  • Mobile editing with VisualEditor is broken using Citizen Skin
  • find out why the Ko-Fi floating donation widget isn't showing up in Citizen Skin (or any other skins for that matter, other skins be damned)
  • Install RSS reader for all relevant pages, such as news outlets
  • install Wikibase
    • See if we can convert references to wikibase objects so we can aggregate them above a page-level
    • See if we can populate infoboxes with wikibase data
  • might eventually install short URLs
    • if we do this, ensure that old links redirect, to prevent link rot
  • Research timeline extensions - could be powered by Wikibase `date` objects
  • Edit footer links
    • Remove "Privacy policy" "About" and "Disclaimers"
    • Add "Twitter" "Patreon"
  • Look into how Wikispooks offers site backups to visitors for the purpose of censorship-resistance, we might want to do that too
  • Draft a censorship resistance plan
    • It's been suggested to use Epik if we're censored by our current providers
  • Make code blocks wrap (CSS)
  • Enable BetaFeatures
  • Get site analytics
    • Screen size usage so we can improve the CSS for most-used screen sizes
  • Install Notifications
  • Install Thanks
  • Install StructuredDiscussions because they're integrated into Notifications and remove PagesDisqus since it'd thus become redundant
  • See if it's possible to make undone revisions hidden by default in Recent changes
  • Research extensions that help us to rate pages by completeness and importance
  • install Citation needed template
  • Embed live viewer count in sidebar, gamify contributions lol
  • V•T•E on every template
  • In MobileFrontend see if it's possible to make the sections automatically expanded
  • Reference Tooltips
  • We've installed WikiSEO and need to configure it for each page
    • It seems that we need to configure this bullshit, I hate this godforsaken piece of shit software so much
  • Install nuke so I can delete all dumbass spam accounts
  • Investigate why favicon doesn't work on Firefox
  • Automatically archive external links?

Desktop sidebar

Mobile sidebar (will require custom icons to be designed)

Feed reader idea

It would be interesting to be able to create a combined feed reader of InfraWiki-approved news outlets, with a "copy" button to copy a piece of content as a reference. This would hopefully reduce the friction for pearl-growing and collecting counter-hegemonic news.

For each category page

  • Add a "Random page in category" button to the top of every category page

Citizen theme

Use these to manage various parts of the citizen theme
