===== Update MediaWiki to at least 1.37+ =====
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math Math] =====
* While a handful of extensions get bundled with MediaWiki in future versions (''See here: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bundled_extensions_and_skins Bundled extensions and skins]''), we're primarily interested in [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor VisualEditor].
* [[Modding:Matrix_Operations]] currently uses CSS hacks to display the matrices. Standard math syntax would be easier to maintain.
* 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 [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Cite Cite], or [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox InputBox] would be really handy to have available.
* Assuming the above, any other bundled extensions that might interest us are not listed below.
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL Short URL] =====
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL 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 <code><nowiki>https://wiki.vintagestory.at/wiki/<page></nowiki></code>.

===== A favicon =====
* Currently the wiki has no icon, and while minor, it would be nice to have regardless.
===== Replace the creative teleporter block in the top-left with Vintage Story's logo instead =====
===== Replace the creative teleporter block in the top-left with Vintage Story's logo instead =====
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo Extension:Cargo] =====
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AdvancedSearch Extension:AdvancedSearch] =====
* 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.
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Display_Title 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.
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CSS 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.
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Variables 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.
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Loops Extension:Loops] =====
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Loops Extension:Loops] =====
* Adds logic loops - self-explanatory.

* Once again, would help reduce clutter in templates and allow for more dynamic templates.
* Once again, would help reduce clutter in templates and allow for more dynamic templates.
===== [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TranslationNotifications Extension:TranslationNotifications] =====
* Allows translation administrators to send notifications to all registered translators when a page or group of pages are in need of translation.

* [https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Cracked_vessel Cracked vessel] page needs Arctic supplies section added with loot tables.  I suggest a History section, too.  Data can be found at line 234 of vssurvivalmod-master\Block\BlockLootVessel.cs

=== Reduce Code Chaos ===
I've been trying to figure out how this wiki works and what would be the best way to get something done, but I keep running into difference in code, confusion on how something should work, and running into half-finished systems (i.e. Grid/Crafting). A focus towards sweeping through old pages, even those that may not need to be changed, and standardizing a method of source editing will make it easier in the future to understand, find and edit pages. It will probably take a lot of work in the beginning, and may start to fall behind on new content updates, but by making everything standardized, it will potentially speed up learning and editing for other people, leading to less burnout and confusion. -- [[User:RathfulConcepts|RathfulConcepts]] ([[User_talk:RathfulConcepts|User talk]]) 14:35, 16 March 2023 (EST)
: For the record, on Grid/Crafting ''in particular'', I've spent several months seeing how it works on other wikis and what work would be needed to overhaul e.g. the infoboxes. You can see how far I got [[User:Veerserif#Veer's_grand_Grid/Crafting_remake_proposal|on my user sandbox]]. I ran out of steam when it became abundantly clear to me that making it truly backwards compatible was a monumental task, far beyond my availability and ability. -- [[User:Veerserif|Veerserif]] ([[User_talk:Veerserif|talk here]] or on Discord) 18:47, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
