UBC Wiki:Roadmap

From UBC Wiki

This page is for listing suggestions and to-do's for maintaining and improving the UBC Wiki. Major updates to the UBC Wiki usually take place between terms.

Meeting Notes

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 searchable
  • Making watchlist email notifiable
  • New user account names be generated from the preferred name rather than the CWL (to make it consistent with Canvas)
