InfraWiki:Tasks: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:35, 8 November 2022

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

Remove "Switch to old look" link in Vector
set User rights
- for logged out users, require moderator approval
- for logged in users, allow most edits
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
set up favicon - in progress, still troubleshooting lol
Research timeline extensions
Edit footer links
- Remove "Privacy policy" "About" "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
set up improved SEO
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

Sidebar stuff

Desktop sidebar

Donate
Categories
Essays
Library
Recent changes

Mobile sidebar (will require custom icons to be designed)

Done

Set modern Vector to default, instead of classic Vector
install MobileFrontend
install Cite extension
installed PageDisqus - still need to blacklist from special pages
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:// ?
