Things to ask for

This is a list of things that I would like to see the tech folks turn on here:

  • Extension:Parse Functions
    • Required for so many templates to work properly that it blows my mind it isn't enabled
  • $wgAllowUserJs
    • Allows advanced users like myself to write or use tools that make editing easier
  • Change Autoconfirmed Users group to require 7 days and 10 edits
    • Makes this group actually useful
  • Add a Confirmed Users group
    • For giving rights of Autoconfirmed to users who haven't hit the pre-reqs yet
  • Give Autoconfirmed and Confirmed users skipcaptcha right
    • Make editing more streamlined for trusted users
  • Update to newest version of Mediawiki
    • Bugfixes, security fixes, additional features. You should always stay current on this. Or at least stop at a Long-term Support release
  • Enable Instant Commons ($wgUseInstantCommons)
    • Allows using images from Wikimedia Commons, which should help cut down on disk space usage for images
  • Enable Gadgets (Extension:Gadgets)
    • Allows less advanced users to use pre-configured tools that help them edit more effectively
  • Add HotCat gadget
    • Allows quickly recategorising pages
  • Add Twinkle gadget
    • Helps with fighting vandlism
  • Add Syntax highlighter gadget
    • Makes editing pages a lot easier
  • Add Gadget-edittop.js gadget
    • Adds an edit button for just the lead section of a page
  • Add Purge gadget
    • Allows purging of a page's cache without having to know you can add ?purge=true to the end of a page
  • htaccess and modrewrite for pretty URLs
    • Gets rid of the index.php/ before page names
  • Install Extension:CharInsert and CharInsert gadget
    • Allows quickly inserting characters not found on standard keyboards
  • Sign up for announcements-l mailing list to ensure Mediawiki stays up to date
    • See Update to newest version of Mediawiki
  • Allow edit page notices
    • Let us remind users of things when editing particular pages that are problematic, for example on Player pages we could remind users that there are special rules
  • Add Extension:CheckUser
    • Lets admins see IP addresses used by editors. Helps fight vandalism and sockpuppetry
  • Add Extension:AntiSpoof
    • Prevents users from registering usernames that look very similar to already registered usernames
  • Add Extension:AbuseFilter
    • Anti-spam extension that blocks a lot of spam that might slip past the captcha
  • Add Extension:SpamBlacklist
    • Allows preventing saving of pages that link to certain websites. Can be used if we blacklist a website for some reason, and also to stop persistent spammers
  • Add Extension:CentralNotice
    • Allows displaying an announcement banner at the top of all pages
  • Add Extension:Thanks
    • Lets you thank a user for their edit. Really just helps make people feel at home and appreciated
  • Add Extension:WikiEditor
    • Way way better editor than the standard editor. This is what is used by Wikimedia Foundation projects
  • Add Oversight usergroup
    • See next bullet point
  • Give Oversight group deletelogentry, deleterevision, hideuser, suppressrevision, suppressionlog
    • Helps deal with copyright violations by allowing Oversight users to hide revisions containing copyright information so that they can't be accessed by anyone but Oversight users
  • Ask for $wgMultiBoilerplateOptions to be set to false
    • This will allow Administrators to specify boilerplate templates on MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate without having to modify LocalSettings.php
