Sidebar stuff[edit | edit source]

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

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
  • 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
