MediaWiki Testers Wiki Extensions
I would like to request the following extensions be set up on the MediaWiki Testers Wiki, with included requested variables for the LocalSettings.php file.
 * Admin Links
 * ApiSandbox
 * CategoryTree
 * Would like to have the $wgCategoryTreeMaxChildren variable increased to 10000 (doubt I'll ever it need it that high, mostly for testing purposes)
 * CharInsert
 * CodeEditor
 * CreateBox
 * ✅ Kudu (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Disambiguator
 * DPLforum
 * LiquidThreads
 * Doesn't seem to be installed on Special:Version. Arcane (talk) 00:17, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * ✅ Kudu (talk) 00:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * ImageMap
 * DynamicPageList (Wikimedia)
 * MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle - This bundle of extensions would be useful for my importation of pages from MediaWiki.org. Given it's usefulness, it may be better if implemented globally.
 * Babel is ✅ globally. ULS and Translate are ✅ locally. Clean Changes will be done locally soon, and CLDR, ULS and LocalisationUpdate will be done globally soon. Kudu (talk) 17:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * MultiBoilerplate
 * MyVariables
 * ✅ Kudu (talk) 23:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Poem
 * Quiz
 * RandomSelection
 * ❌. I recommend using Scribunto's math.random instead. Kudu (talk) 23:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * RandomSelection is preferred, both as a non Lua alternative, and because the Lua version is for numbers, not text. Arcane (talk) 00:17, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * ✅, although I'd still recommend the use of a Scribunto-powered template. Kudu (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Replace Text
 * SectionHide (cannot be downloaded from Git/Subversion, will have to get from MW.org page)
 * If installed, please set $wgSectionHideShowtop = 0; //default to $wgSectionHideShowtop = 1; //default
 * ✅ Kudu (talk) 00:49, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem to be working properly. Arcane (talk) 23:04, 31 August 2013 (EDT)Arcane
 * Works for me. Kudu (talk) 23:17, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Working now, seemed to be a page caching issue. Arcane (talk) 23:33, 2 September 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * This extension is causing severe incompatibility with the Header Tabs extension (I confirmed this via testing Header Tabs with and without SectionHide enabled on a localhost wiki), and given the severity of the problem (which you can see here), I request SectionHide be disabled and/or removed due to apparent incompatibilities at this time. Arcane (talk) 04:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * ✅ Kudu (talk) 17:32, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * SkinPerPage
 * Tabber
 * ✅ for Extension:Header Tabs instead, is that good? Kudu (talk) 23:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Tabber would be extremely preferred. Header Tabs is mostly good for making tabs at the top of a page, whereas Tabber can easily make tabs anywhere on a page and parser tags for tabber can be used as many times as required, while Header Tabs cannot. Also, despite the experimental label the extension has on MW.org, I have tested it on MW from 1.19 onwards, and I have found it to be quite stable. Arcane (talk) 00:11, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * ✅. However, before it's ever enabled on anything else than a testing wiki, this extension will have to be updated. Kudu (talk) 00:33, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * TemplateSandbox
 * Vector
 * WikiEditor
 * Works for me. Kudu (talk) 23:17, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Also, in accordance with a suggestion offered by Kudu on the IRC channel, I would like te rename my wiki the MediaWiki Alphatest Wiki, with the URL redirected as appropriate.
 * I suggest submitting a pull request for these. Some of them might not be accepted however if they either aren't used on any trusted wikis like Wikimedia or Wikia or mess with global accounts like UserMerge. Kudu (talk) 19:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand. almost all of these extensions are used on Wikimedia websites or I have personally tested and found free of outstanding issues, so I'll submit the appropriate pull requests ASAP, but User Merge And Delete is not essential, so any extensions that may interfere with the appropriate function of global accounts I will drop from my list of requests. Arcane (talk) 19:56, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * I submitted a pull request for all extensions available from the Wikimedia Gerrit repository not already included in the Orain fork to be added. The other extensions are either available via Subversion only, as wikicode on MediaWiki.org, or available via third party downloads, so I was unsure what to do from there. Arcane (talk) 20:27, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * I have to admit I don't know what I'm doing. My attempt to submit the pull request only ended up in doing the exact reverse of what I intended, and it was closed because it was sent to the Wikimedia repository instead of the Orain repository. If I can only get the extensions installed that are already in the Orain repository, I would be satisfied with that. Arcane (talk) 00:00, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * No problem. You may find GitHub's help section to be helpful. Kudu (talk) 00:15, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I can wait for these extensions to be installed eventually (at least the ones that don't cause problems for Orain at least), but I was wondering if someone could fix my wiki sitename to give the actual sitename instead of "Unconfigured" in the meantime. Also, I actually like the current name for my wiki upon reflection, please ignore the rename request. Arcane (talk) 09:47, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * Sorry, I've now set up the site name. Kudu (talk) 18:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm doing all of the above extensions - will update you shortly. D u s t i *Let's talk!* 19:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys, I've been able to start getting my wiki set up thanks to your hard work :). Unfortunately, I just noticed there is no ability to upload files at all, so that needs to be fixed as well. Arcane (talk) 23:33, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * D u s t i *Let's talk!* 23:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Arcane, did you consider using Commons instead? We usually encourage its use since it encourages cooperation between projects. Kudu talk 23:56, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I plan to use Wikimedia Commons extensively, but I wanted to upload a custom site logo for my wiki. Arcane (talk) 01:07, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * You're free to upload it to Commons - let us know the file name and we can set the logo for the wiki. D u s <font color="#0000ff">t <font color="#6600cc">i *Let's talk!* 01:27, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand. I'm still designing my logo, but when it's ready, I'll let you guys know. Arcane (talk) 03:34, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * The logo for my wiki can be found here. Arcane (talk) 23:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * Hi Arcane, the logo you submitted has a white background. While we can still set it as the logo for your wiki if you really want to, I strongly recommend making it transparent for aesthetic purposes. Kudu (talk) 14:47, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I just submitted a transparent version (thanks for pointing that out). Also, I removed several of the extensions from the above list, as they would be nice but for now they aren't needed (and since I asked for quite a bit, I figured I'd be polite and pare the list down to the strict essentials), though the rest of them would be appreciated at your earliest convenience. And finally, what does it mean that LiquidThreads will be "opt-in"? Arcane (talk) 21:24, 16 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * Hi Arcane, I'll only be able to handle these in about 10-12 days, unfortunately. Would you prefer having to enable LQT per-page (opt-in) or have it enabled on all pages by default (opt-out)? I'd recommend opt-in for a testing wiki like yours. Kudu (talk) 22:08, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I understand, please take all the time you need. As for LQT, I can live with the opt-in option (I only really planned to use it for our site forums and for some pages on MediaWiki discussions), and besides, after having looked up the documentation on MW.org, that seems like the best option in any case for my needs. Arcane (talk) 23:12, 16 August 2013 (UTC)Arcane


 * CreateRedirect
 * Wikilog
 * Would also like the user documentation added to my wiki, instructions for doing so can be found on the extension page.Arcane (talk) 01:37, 17 October 2013 (UTC)Arcane

MediaWiki Testers Wiki Subpages
I would like to request subpages be enabled on my wiki, according to the below:

$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true; $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_TEMPLATE] = true; Arcane (talk) 23:42, 11 September 2013 (UTC)Arcane
 * 1) Enable subpages in the main namespace
 * 1) Enable subpages in the template namespace

Foodopedia Wiki Feature?
Could you please create the interfaceeditor permission for my wiki? People that have the interfaceditor permission are trusted to edit the interface messages in the MediaWiki namespace. thanks! Emilyr25 (talk) 03:45, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you again, Guerreiro Wikinambá (talk) 00:05, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Guerreiro. Many of the extensions you requested are technical and are not features: MWSearch, SwiftCloudFiles, TrustedXFF, etc. Please limit your requests to new features; the best way to implement the backend for existing ones is off-topic for this page. Kudu (talk) 20:17, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't get, you are asking me to create another list, in another place (not specify), to install things that have similar installation?? Guerreiro Wikinambá (talk) 00:29, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Computer Clan Wiki
To whom it may concern:

Can you guys put a rich text editor on my wiki? I don't really like the default one.

Thanks.

Edit:

I would also like the following custom namespaces:

ReelDealVideoCatalog

CCLPCatalog

Thanks

Inandoutland (talk) 22:24, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

alleniawiki.orain.org
I would like to get my logo changed for my wiki, as well has have the wiki named(i.e. the tab says "Unconfigured"). The picture is at [|this] location on box.com. The logo is temporary and will be changed again after a few months when I have the time to create a proper logo.
 * I set up your wiki name. Could you please upload the logo to Wikimedia Commons? Kudu (talk) 22:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

patereswiki
I would like for a start to install for me

1)the Semantic Bundle extensions (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_Bundle)

2)display external images using only the url
 * ❌ for security reasons. Kudu (talk) 21:56, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

3)widgets extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Widgets)

4)quiz extension (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Quiz)

5)Replace Text extension
 * ✅ Kudu (talk) 22:01, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

6)Tabber extension
 * ❌ for now (not security-tested). Kudu (talk) 21:56, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ as it has since been enabled on another wiki but kudu  ·addshore·  talk to me! 17:29, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you...
 * (hijacking) While someone is installing the Tabber extension for this wiki, I had requested it some time ago also, for the [//botwiki.orain.org BotWiki]. Thanks. <font color="#000" face="Times">Augur <font color="#33f" family="Arial">NZ <font color="#000" size="4">&#x2710; <font size="4" color="#000">&#x2315; 11:23, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Please allow image uploads. Thanks!

GrayhawkWiki
I have two requests:
 * 1) I forgot to make sure that the logo was the correct size. This one is 135x135, which I think is right: |here
 * 2) Is it possible either get permission to add new user groups or to have new groups added? I would like to have some pages viewable to only some members.
 * New logo will be set shortly. For groups, you can add all members to the members group, if necessary you may ask for new rights to be added here but note this is not a CMS so page by page access is not possible. John (talk) 08:01, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Understood. Does that mean that we cannot add something like the Improved Access Control extension: |here. I have read the page and understand the limitations. However, I think it would suffice for my purposes, if we could have it added. Thanks. --Fiero (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok. I guess we will have to work something else out.

Can we add the MobileFrontEnd Extension? []--Fiero (talk) 06:12, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅  ·addshore·  talk to me! 17:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Encyclopedia National
Hello, we would love to request the feature of uploading pdf files upon the wiki. For some reason it only allows us to upload images and not pdfs or mp3s.--Tyreek (talk) 14:46, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * This will need modification of $wgFileExtensions. This is currently set to ( 'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg' ). We should probably have a small discussion and decide what extra we wish to add. Addshore (talk) 16:57, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

A visual editor
Hi, it would be great to have a visual editor like VisualEditor. ;) Most of our expected users won't have any wikitext editing experience and for them it will take less effort to start editing with a tool like that. Thank you.--QuimGil (talk) 17:10, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Kudu has said they are still testing it; VisualEditor also is resource intensive and Orain needs to precisely measure the level of strain caused. --Jeff (talk) (contribs) 19:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed I also think we should wait a little while longer and potentially improve our infrastructure first :)  ·addshore·  talk to me! 17:19, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Logo
Hello, could you please change the default logo of WikiConstitució for File:Flag of Catalonia.svg? Thank you!--QuimGil (talk) 17:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ though logo size may be an issue with display. John (talk) 21:02, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Please remove the custom logo at http://wikiconstitucio.orain.org/wiki/Main_Page . (long story, I will submit an image with the approriate size. Being an svg I thought it would scale automatically). Sorry for the hassle!--QuimGil (talk) 21:17, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Subdomain should point to "Portada"
Currently https://wikiconstitucio.orain.org points to https://wikiconstitucio.orain.org/wiki/Main_Page but it should point to https://wikiconstitucio.orain.org/wiki/Portada instead. We could configure https://wikiconstitucio.orain.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mainpage but I guess the rest requires access to the server. Thank you again.--QuimGil (talk) 17:39, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * QuimGil, all you need to do now is to move Main Page to Portada. --Jeff (talk) (contribs) 19:07, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, this has been done as well. However, users landing to the homepage after clicking https://wikiconstitucio.orain.org see the ugly "(S'ha redirigit des de: Main Page)". OK, I'll hide it via CSS.--QuimGil (talk) 19:37, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Let's add some memcached daemons
Just to make things sweeter, let's use some Memcached.

Or, let's use Redis. :)

DAEMONS! --Jeff (talk) (contribs) 00:08, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Local uploads
Could local uploads be enabled on [//fmds.orain.org fmds.orain.org] please? I would normally be quite happy to upload images to Commons, and I'm a keen advocate of Creative Commons licensing. However, for this particular project I think it would be best to keep images local. I'll be generating network maps and images pertinent only to my home LAN which I don't really want to be making public. Any publicly available images, such as images of computer systems and components, I'll try to source through InstantCommons wherever applicable. Thanks. <font color="#000" face="Times">Augur <font color="#33f" family="Arial">NZ <font color="#000" size="4">&#x2710; <font size="4" color="#000">&#x2315; 22:50, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ Earlier. Forgot to update here. John (talk) 20:15, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Meta (or Global)
Hi there! Per a short conversation that I had on the IRC channel with a few users, I think that we should make the wiki request form (and even this one, for that matter) a little easier to use. I've used Semantic MW in conjunction with Semantic Forms in the past, and could design a page to make it more "pretty" and more user friendly.

For that reason, I'd like to request that the following extensions be added:
 * Semantic MediaWiki
 * Semantic Forms

I would definitely like to see them here, but they may also be useful for other wikis. Up to you guys on how you decide to implement!

Thanks! -- Joe G. (Talk) 21:55, 17 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, if you don't chose to install it globally, please install it on TestWiki, too. I'd like to setup the form there and test it before messing with meta :P. Thanks again -- Joe G. (Talk) 21:57, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
