InfraWiki:Tasks

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 - 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
• 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
• Reference Tooltips

Sidebar stuff

Desktop sidebar

• Donate
• Categories
• Essays
• Library
• Recent changes
• Site roadmap

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.

Done

• 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:// ?
