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

To-do's[edit | edit source]

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?

Sidebar stuff[edit | edit source]

Desktop sidebar

Donate
Categories
Essays
Library
Recent changes
Site roadmap

Mobile sidebar (will require custom icons to be designed)

Feed reader idea[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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

Citizen theme[edit | edit source]

Use these to manage various parts of the citizen theme

MediaWiki:Citizen-footer-tagline
MediaWiki:Citizen-footer-desc
Add "copy" button to code block that copies to clipboard

Organizational[edit | edit source]

Write an Infrared constitution

Done[edit | edit source]

Set modern Vector to default, instead of classic Vector
install MobileFrontend
install Cite extension
~~installed PageDisqus~~ - no longer using this extension due to the ads, gonna use something else instead
Set external links to open in new tab to keep our wiki open in previous tab
- $wgExternalLinkTarget = '_blank';
Change "Powered by MediaWiki" button to point to internal MediaWiki page
- Prevent new tab somehow? maybe try using [[]] instead of url:// ?
set up favicon
~~Remove "Switch to old look" link in Vector~~ fuck vector we moved to Citizen Skin
