About
MediaWiki is the software used for this wiki, and seems to be the most mature (and most rapidly developing) wiki software available.
Pages
- /archive: pages that might have once been useful but are now mostly (or entirely) obsolete
- /files: pages about important files in the MediaWiki distribution
- /backing up
- /extensions
- /fighting spam
- advanced (possibly incomplete, obsolete):
- /content programming: programming with wikicode (should just link to "magic words" page on mwsite)
- /Flattr: using MediaWiki with the Flattr service
- /federated: notes on turning MW into a distributed platform
- /tables: notes on what they do
Links
Official
- MediaWiki: the software's official help & documentation site
- Documentation
- Manual:Contents: installing, running and developing for the MediaWiki software
- User's Guide / Help index
- Editing:
- Magic words:
- Meta needs to be merged with MediaWiki; has some info MediaWiki lacks
- MediaWiki.org
- see also: mwsite:Manual:Magic words for coding info
- Manual:Parameters to index.php: list of standard arguments used in MW URLs
- Help:Variables: built-in variables
- Advanced techniques
- Magic words:
- Administration & Customization:
- Coding
- API: API documentation index
- Database layout: what the tables do
- Manual:Variables: guide to writing extensions which define new variables
- seems to be wrong in some ways; examples don't work, and examples on Meta work better (need to find page) --Woozle 15:53, 17 September 2007 (EDT)
- Directory of Coding Docs at SourceForge
MediaWiki docs
Reference
- Wikipedia:
- Secunia: security vulnerability database
Notes
- Programming Notes from one developer who was doing some relatively simple modifications to MediaWiki; describes where a lot of the basic nuts and bolts are.
Tools
- Word2MediaWiki: VBA script which converts Microsoft Word documents to MediaWiki format
Help
- MediaWiki Forums (unofficial, but the response seems to be positive)
Wish List
- RSS/Atom feeds for:
- Specific pages only
- Watched pages only
- Other users' contributions only (maybe the ability to select which users to include, with "[x]new users" being an option -- then you'd check everyone except yourself, and new users would automatically get added to the list)
- ...and are there feed readers out there which can do this kind of filtering on their own, perhaps? They seem to be the exception, rather than the rule, and anyway as long as the feed itself contains Every Change To The Site, I can't use it as a source for a public aggregator page (e.g. the one at SluggySquad). Seems like filter parameters should be part of the URL, even, though I doubt that's the case.
