Post Upgrade To Do's
- Glitch on user name where user's contributions get mixed up with another users (PRB0044508)
- Adding CC-BY-NC license on the upload file page. (maybe also CC-BY 2.0 license series as well? or is it unnecessary)
- Modifying wiki embed to Canvas plugin so that links within an iframe will open in a new window.
- Creative commons license on the home page: When users create a new page(does not apply for existing pages for legal reasons), have a small disclaimer on "Agree to make the page creative commons licensed..." , and let them agree to have "Creative Commons licenses" on the page they have created.
- We are currently on Version 1.3.1 but the current mediawiki version is https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle
UBC Wiki Books - a setting to allow books to be saved as collection of pages(follow up on #wiki channel on Aug 12):$wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveascommunitypage'] = true;$wgGroupPermissions['user']['collectionsaveasuserpage'] = true;
- Enabling CirrusSearch to improve the search-ability function of the wiki.
- Do we want a recurring meeting to talk about wikipedia update once every 2 month?
Visual Editor's indent feature not working- Is it possible to add https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid so that we can add auto citation feature to the visual editor?
Making Widget Embedding easier - In https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets#Widgets_and_templates it recommends the widget to place within template, so we can use TemplateData parameter. That might make widget embedding more intuitive in visual editor.Same applies to infobox. Since we use that quite often..adding templatedata to frequently used template so that it's easy to edit on visual editor.Make template as searchableMaking watchlist email notifiable- New user account names be generated from the preferred name rather than the CWL (to make it consistent with Canvas)
