BaxilDragon's to-do list to bring Wikka in line with the grand TTU Wiki vision. Such as it is.

This page is only editable by administrators. To suggest changes, leave a comment here or at WikiRequests.

Changes to Make

ESSENTIAL AND ONGOING

• 2007/01/28: Last database backup is a few weeks old; get one scheduled now that backup support is in.
• seed the wiki with basic pages
  • Create all templates
  • Add all eras
  • Add all existing stories
    • (get other authors to do pages for their own?)
  • Get all front-page links active
• Create all pages with >1 inbound link: see WantedPages
• Add some freakin' images to the wiki. ;-)

TOP CODING PRIORITIES

usermods from Wikka:CodeContributions∞, including:

• Links to tlands not labeled external: http://wikkawiki.org/KickTheDonkey∞

Also homebrew changes

• Some hack to display ACLs on a page (or look at a table of them)

ALSO WOULD BE NICE

• It would be awesome to have a "Visit a random page" action. Awesomer yet to have a "visit a random page inside this namespace/category" action.
• Add FormattingRules external link to edit page
  • er, it's actually already there as "help" button
  • maybe better document this with changes to editing template?
• http://wikkawiki.org/GmBowenAdminPageControlTool∞ for page hides, easier deletes
• Homebrew: Templates for auto-creating new pages based on namespace of first word? (probably built on http://wikkawiki.org/CloneHandlerInfo∞)
• Homebrew: Wikipedia-like feature where it'll notify you of changes to your user page (as a way to communicate to other users)
• Skins: http://wikkawiki.org/TestSkin∞
• Better user listing: http://wikkawiki.org/DescribeUsers∞
• Recently Edited: http://wikkawiki.org/GmBowenRecentEditCheck∞
• Page hit counter: http://wikkawiki.org/GmBowenCounter∞
• Better menus: http://wikkawiki.org/WikkaMenus∞
  • not that I'm using the current ones ;-p I can edit those at header.php and footer.php
• for page renaming should it become necessary - http://wikkawiki.org/RefactorWiki∞
  • (current workaround: /clone to move to new location, /delete to kill old one. Disadvantage: This removes editing history and comments)
• ? list uncategorized pages? - http://wikkawiki.org/UnCategoryAction∞

USER REQUESTS

• I'll add any requests here

Changes Completed

• Basic installation.
• official Control Registration patch∞
• * http://wikkawiki.org/ACLsWithUserGroups∞
• Reset default ACL to require registration & editor group membership to edit
• Trim FormattingRules and move full version to preserve it
• Move to permanent home directory (and change config files accordingly)
  • And let me just say that subdomaining it made my head hurt ;-p
• Add extra info/help to registration page template
  • Spamblock: Require code for registration -- (this is done)
• http://wikkawiki.org/UserAdmin∞ and new AdministrateUsers
• http://wikkawiki.org/AutomaticUserPageCreation∞
  • the WelcomePage for new registrations
    • this feature disabled for now re-enabled; I wrote the page 12/16: WelcomeNewUser -B
• (http://wikkawiki.org/RedirectOnLogin∞ could go in later for login redirects)
  • this feature is actually done already - changed one line of code myself. Logins now take you to your user page. -B
• http://wikkawiki.org/EmailActionInfo∞: {{email username domain.com}} now makes spamsafe e-mail link
  • Updated pages and templates accordingly
• Back up sql db and see if there's a backup scheduler
  • Done. No scheduler, but download at any time via DirectAdmin
• Make new full pre-live backup of directory and database before first public announcement
• 2007-01-28: Fixed robots.txt and favicon.ico links: see Wikka:RobotsDotTxt∞
• Homebrew hack needed: Auto-format links for Character*, Story*, (others? Event*? Location*?), to read nicely - remove (predefined) prefixes from link text and separate CamelCaseWords.
  • Probably based on http://wikkawiki.org/UrlBeautify∞ and/or http://wikkawiki.org/LinkUsingPageTitle∞ and/or http://wikka.jsnx.com/AdvancedCategoryAction∞
    • http://wikkawiki.org/AdvancedCategoryAction∞ has great code at the bottom
  • Done: Namespaces are now defined in php config file. Could use more polish but it's working. -b 20070807
  • And also to munge BaxilDragon into Baxil :)
    • Not done yet; better namespace control in version 2. -b
• Add filter to Category listing: exclude pages not starting with (word)
  • Done: {{category header=0 exclude="Comma,Separated,List" only="Comma,Separated,List"}} works. -b 20070807
    • header: Set to 0 or blank to turn off the "The following X pages ..." blurb
    • exclude|only: Namespaces to (respectively) not display, or display. Only overrides exclude.
