Meta
In the absence of a designated meta page, I declare the home page discussion page to be the site meta/discussion page! Deku-shrub (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2015 (CDT)
- What are the considerations of where the site meta/discussion page should sit? How about on H+Pedia_plan? David W. Wood (talk)
- Permanent meta pages should be live in a meta space, e.g. H+Pedia:Technical discussion, H+Pedia:Community discussion and they should be linked from the side bar and home page Deku-shrub (talk) 06:56, 29 October 2015 (CDT)
Plugins wanted
This is a (to be expanded) list of plugins I would like:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graphical_Category_Browser - create visualisations of page interlinks, very useful of visualising the site in it's early stages
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor - Cite tool, allows for the pop-out rich reference creation tool I use all the time on Wikipedia, without which writing references is a pain
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions This allows us of 'if' in templates and is needed to get the mediawiki/wikipedia columns and other templates working
- What's involved in enabling these plugins? David W. Wood (talk)
- It varies, but it usually involves downloading some code, placing it in the 'extensions' folder, then editing some config files to 'include' the extensions. Backups are important when doing this :) I could do this if you want but I'd need server access. Deku-shrub (talk) 06:58, 29 October 2015 (CDT)
Templates wanted
- Citations/references https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite
- Custom 'this is a series about' templates, more info to follow to aid site navigation
- Pretty templates for the home page :)
- What's involved in enabling these templates? David W. Wood (talk)
- Sometimes there might be dependent plugins, but a lot of the time it's a case of building the Template:sometemplate page and then going about including Template:Sometemplate where appropriate Deku-shrub (talk) 10:10, 29 October 2015 (CDT)
Site stuff
- I prefer https on my sites! :(
- Agreed - I'll look into why this doesn't work David W. Wood (talk)
- Ah, the answer might be here (on the siteground knowledgebase) David W. Wood (talk)
- I think as noted there is some issue with sign-up / validation
- A new MediaWiki release has become available (v1.25.3); perhaps that will fix this problem David W. Wood (talk)
