A modest Proposal ... (May 2013) -> modify teh navigation template so "Recent Changes" does not automatically display the (heavily spammed) "User creation log"

Here are some proposed wiki updates. Discussion welcome.
As of 12-2-09 Noisebridge wiki is running MediaWiki: 1.11.2.
Update to the most current (1.15.1 currently). This will allow image links to work, and wgEnableMWSuggest to work.
# Don't attach NoFollow to links (default true). This should be set to false as long as the NB wiki is kept spam-free $wgNoFollowLinks = false; # Enable suggestions while typing in search boxes. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableMWSuggest $wgEnableMWSuggest = true; # improves search functionality a tiny bit http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting = true; # Tells Mediawiki to use ETag Headers, decreasing irrelevant page loads. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseETag YSlow says the wiki doesn't use ETags right now. $wgUseETag = true; # Enable the basic file cache for static pages for non-logged-in visitors. # Warning: this might cause problems if a page is counting on knowing the current date and updating appropriately, IE a calendar page $wgUseFileCache = true; $wgFileCacheDirectory = "/INSTALLATION-DIRECTORY/tmp-cache"; $wgShowIPinHeader = false; # When you make changes to this configuration file, this will make # sure that cached pages are cleared. $configdate = gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( __FILE__ ) ); $wgCacheEpoch = max( $wgCacheEpoch, $configdate ); # This might make for better performance, compressing html before serving, especially when using the file cache $wgUseGzip = true; # saves a couple database queries but fragile if $wgArticlePath is nonstandard $wgEnableSidebarCache = true;
- Trim the Mediawiki footers
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Footer
- I think we can remove "Privacy policy" and "Disclaimers". Maybe remove "About Noisebridge"
- Poem Extension
- (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Poem). A useful kludge giving you the <poem></poem> tag. Inside this tag, a single carriage return behaves like a single carriage return. This makes copying and pasting many text documents into the wiki less of a bother.
- Calendar
- Category Tree
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree
- # Enable Category Tree extension. Note that we must enable AJAX support for this extension
- $wgUseAjax = true;
- require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/CategoryTree/CategoryTree.php" );
- Toggle Display
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ToggleDisplay
- #require_once( 'extensions/ToggleDisplay.php' );
- Use a logo that has alpha blending.
- Those white edges are a bother! Maybe take from here: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Identity
