==Post Upgrade To Do's==
* Adding CC-BY-NC license on the upload file page.
* '''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

* <s>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 [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Portal/TemplateData TemplateData parameter]. That might make widget embedding more intuitive in visual editor.</s>
* <s>Same applies to infobox. Since we use that quite often..</s>
* <s>adding templatedata to frequently used template so that it's easy to edit on visual editor.</s>
* <s>Make template as searchable</s>
