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.
