Tasks

• [edit]

  Make it public

  See Making this wiki public

  Single pages can be made public by people with server access. There is a whitelist in the settings php-file.

  [edit]

  Make it update-proof

  Changes that were made on the server should better be implemented using wiki pages, such as MediaWiki:Sidebar and MediaWiki:Monobook.css.

  [edit]

  Improve layout / aesthetics

  We can use MediaWiki:Monobook.css for this task.

  [edit]

  Redesign team pages

  People working on this:

  • Andreas (lemon-head)^wikitalk

  Design goals:

  • Layout and visual landmarks to guide the eye of the visitor.
  • Accelerated navigation.
  • Make everything easier to edit.

  Progress: Going forward quite well! But needs more feedback and evaluation from volunteers who are not wiki-experts.

• [edit]

  Housekeeping tasks

  • Categorize uncategorized pages
  • Use more wiki syntax more consistently all over articles
  • There are no links to lonely pages, either
    • create links to them
    • delete them if they're obsoleted
  [edit]

  Housekeeping that needs Sysop status

  • Delete unused categories
  • Fix wiki layout: MediaWiki:Monobook.css
  [edit]

  Tasks that needs server access

  • Short links to BW website, and to forum, e.g. bw:pagename.html, bwf:forumthreadlink, bwt:for trac, bwmail:for mailing lists?
  • Make many more pages publicly accessible. Problem: need consent of other volunteers!

Official pages

Some pages on this wiki are more official than others. Take extra care with these. Check out this category.

Why this team?

Guaka started this team, since he thinks it's a good idea to keep an overview about what's happening in the wiki, who's doing what, what needs to be done, etc.

Questions and Answers

Wiki php

Strange section edit links

The edit links in this wiki look very bad, because they are placed far too high above the headline. Inspection with firebug turns out that the html tree structure (DOM) is not the same as in original Wikipedia! Maybe someone has messed around with the php that generates the edit links?

Wikipedia: DOM tree of a h2 headline

<div id="bodyContent>
  ...
  <p>
    <a id="..."/>
  </p>
  <h2>
    <span class="editsection">...</span>
    <span class="mw-headline">...</span>
  </h2>
  ...
</div>

This wiki

<div id="bodyContent">
  ...
  <div class="editsection">...</div>
  <a name="Repair_top_navi"/>
  <h2>#text: Repair top navi</h2>
  ...
</div>

This special DOM tree structure makes it totally impossible to fix the badly placed edit links in monobook.css. Someone needs to have a look at the php.
