Translations:Vintage Story Wiki:Community noticeboard/1/en

Update MediaWiki to at least 1.37+

• While a handful of extensions get bundled with MediaWiki in future versions (See here: Bundled extensions and skins), we're primarily interested in VisualEditor.
• A noticeable amount of extensions that should be active on this wiki (current version: 1.34) are deactived/uninstalled. If possible, enabling all bundled extensions would be helpful, as certain ones like Cite, or InputBox would be really handy to have available.
• Assuming the above, any other bundled extensions that might interest us are not listed below.

Short URL

• It might be easier to put in place a short URL at the same time as updating MediaWiki so that the wiki's address becomes something closer to https://wiki.vintagestory.at/wiki/<page>.

A favicon

• Currently the wiki has no icon, and while minor, it would be nice to have regardless.

Extension:Cargo

• Cargo would allow us to set up sub-databases on the wiki, which in turn lets us create data tables for any game object.
• This means we could attribute all relevant data to a specific item, block or entity, and only need to call its' table entry in order to retrieve that information, instead of having to manually write it every time.
• Tied with some potential logic extensions, this would help automate a lot of content as well.

Remove Extension:Display Title

• Causes redirected links to take on the name of the page they redirected to. Doesn't seem to provide any benefit to editors at all, other than give us headaches.

Extension:CSS

• Allows for unique, single-page CSS code that is only visible to that page.
• This would be especially useful for larger templates, where certain CSS styles are defined multiple times, by allowing editors to reduce the amount of clutter without needing to have full CSS editing permissions.

Extension:Variables

• Introduces variables for use in templates to facilitate using information throughout the code.
• Mostly similar to above, would allow us to store data in variables within a template so as to keep it consistent wherever the template needs it.

Extension:Loops

• Adds logic loops - self-explanatory.
• Once again, would help reduce clutter in templates and allow for more dynamic templates.

Extension:TranslationNotifications

• Allows translation administrators to send notifications to all registered translators when a page or group of pages are in need of translation.
