Some useful extensions

Boilerplate extension - might be useful for creating new page templates

Handle refs. with Biblio:

http://openwetware.org/wiki/Wikiomics:Biblio

some templates from wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages

one thing that is semi ugly is that your login name appears at the top of your page or in the list of contributors (for instance User:HBrumer3 or User:Bernie); wouldn't it be nicer if the full real name of people would appear just like on the Board of Curators' page with Harry Brumer or Bernard Henrissat ?

Log

This section is a little Mediawiki maintenance log, which might become it's own page someday.

Started 02 September 2009.

UserContactLinks extended syntax extension

  • http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Contact_Links
  • Allows replacement of "[[:User:username|full name]]" with "(3 tildes)User Name(3 tildes)", where User Name can be:
    • wiki username
    • user full name (first space last)
    • last name of the user
    • partial match of any part of user full name
  • Had to slightly edit both PHP files to break-up (3 tildes)User Name(3 tildes) to "^^^user^^ ^" in description; this was resulting in "incorrect user" being shown on Special:Version.

Implemented ContactPage extension

  • http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContactPage
  • Gives world-accessible contact form: Special:Contact
  • Took some tweaking to get it to work:
    • Line 125 in SpecialContact.php ($captcha = ConfirmEditHooks::getInstance();) broke Mediawiki
    • Upgrading to ConfirmEdit-MW1.15-r50221 broke reCaptcha, e.g. on user signup page.
    • Fixed by commenting out offending Line 125
  • Also hacked ConfirmEdit.php to put "contactpage" captcha trigger there, instead of in LocalSettings.php (left a comment in the latter to that effect).

Implemented Extension:Cite/Special:Cite.php

Harry Brumer 13:12, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

  • "Date retrieved" code doesn't seem to be working right. Tried to implement a solution Wikipedia is running using the ParserFunction extension and the time function, but ParserFunction seems to break the wiki. Also, had to disable MassEmailer due to some weird conflict that generated an error trail when saving Mediawiki:Cite text.

Harry Brumer 15:13, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

New version (r50579) of Extension:ParserFunctions added

  • Fixed earlier problem with ParserFunctions breaking the wiki
  • Allow use of time function in Mediawiki:Cite text to give the current time in the "Date retrieved" line.

Pages in Category test

Stopped implementing Extension:EditUser

Implemented Extension:LookupUser

Implemented Template:Smallcaps

Your source text is not altered in the output, only the way it is displayed on the screen: a copy-paste of the text will give the small caps sections in their original form; similarly, an older or non-CSS browser will only display the original text on screen. This can be seen as a problem, solved with (the sc template).

Code
{{Smallcaps|Your Text in 4004 bc}}
Displayed
Your Text in 4004 bc
Pasted
Your Text in 4004 bc
  • So, the code needs to look like this: {{Smallcaps|d}}, to get d. {{Smallcaps|D}} gives D.

Tested Extension:DynamicPageList (a.k.a. Intersection)

  • Allows showing intersections of Categories
  • http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:DynamicPageList
    • Worked OK but could only give simple linear lists.
    • Was difficult to figure out how to sort alphabetically given limited documentation, had to read the code to find the "categorysortkey" option.
    • e.g., this sort of worked:
<DynamicPageList>
category=Glycoside Hydrolase Families
category=Curator approved
ordermethod=categorysortkey
order=ascending
mode=none
</DynamicPageList>
  • However, not really pretty. Extension disabled.
