Revision as of 23:27, 9 November 2007

Icon-addon-48x48

A collection of the main requests for future server and wiki upgrades, and known wiki bugs. This is so that we can organize our wishes and decide upon what upgrades are most required.
We request that before making additions, please first discuss them on the talk page.


New requests

Extensions

  • CategoryTree
  • DynamicPageList extension as seen on Wakfu Main Page [1]
  • Inputbox
  • RSS feed extension
  • Editcount
  • SpamBlacklist and perhaps Username Blacklist
  • StringFunctions, would allow for easier categorization of API and other pages with pseudo-namespaces
  • Youtube/google video embed player. We have dhflashplayer, but it doesn't work very well and cannot be put in a template. It would be nice to have something simple to embed boss fight videos, there's a bunch in the wiki.
  • CharInsert

Code

$wgRC2UDPAddress = 'dotted.sytes.net';
$wgRC2UDPPort = 9390;
$wgRC2UDPPrefix = ;

Presentation admins can't change

  • Merge in override changes from MediaWiki:Wowwiki.css to the wowwiki skin's main.css.
  • Change/add site meta description, i.e. not "Offers information and walk-throughs on classes, professions, quests, add-ons, and macros." as shown on Google
  • Sidebar changes:
    • Better Google/Wikia ad presentation - should match sidebar in border, colours (sidebar needs changes anyway).
    • Wikia spotlight has "google ads" heading.
    • A link via an asterisk (*) to WoWWiki:Searching in the Monobook search box.

Possible and probable bugs

  • The "next 200" links on pages with more options than can fit on a single page are not working correctly. This only affects users who are not logged in the website. If you are logged in the link will work fine. for example Category:NPCs has 2 pages but when not logged in you cannot get to the 2nd page.
  • [edit] links sometimes being pushed down by images and right-floats on FF2. Cause unknown. This is sourced on bugzilla (somewhere)...
  • Built-in search box (OpenSearch) stuff for IE7 and FF is broken - seems to be missing a file.
  • Redirects to other wikia sites appear as broken redirects.
  • Project: pages do not forward to WoWWiki: - e.g. in the footer, Project:About
  • Imagelink is showing some odd errors - example on [2] - see the long blue links.
  • Pages broken by the namespace implementations, many of which can be found at Special:BrokenRedirects (the ones with a space eg "Guild: <name>". Editors can't edit those, admins can't delete them (it takes both to the properly named page, eg "Guild:<name>"). Can they be purged manually from serverside? It would seem most of the broken pages are located at the bottom of Special:Prefixindex, which also includes the ones which were lower cased and need deletion.

Current requests

  • Forum
    • The DPLForum (seen on Central) is currently giving some problems. A phpp forum is being developed - see http://inside.wikia.com/forum for an example of this.

Completed

Delayed

The following requests will not be completed at this time due to the strain it would cause to the server. We will, however, make these features available as soon as we have another machine to help with that.

  • SVG image upload
  • Implementation of <math> tag.
  • $wgAllowDisplayTitle = true; (if it's easy to do and upgrading to 1.11 is going to be awhile)
    This is buggy in pre-1.11. Please be patient. The upgrade will happen soonish, really. TOR 16:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Denied

  • Newuserlog
    • This isn't compatible with Wikia's systems, because of the way our user database is set up
