Not sure if sub-articleing is a good idea. using mediawiki's [[Special:Categories|categories]] instead to provide nested structures. Having subarticleing will affect search engine scoring differently from using categories. | Not sure if sub-articleing is a good idea. using mediawiki's [[Special:Categories|categories]] instead to provide nested structures.

== MediaWiki extensions == | |||
* <tt>[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Data Extension:Data]</tt> In this extension data is described by '''item/key/value triplets''', where 'item' is typically the name of the article, 'key' the name of the data, and 'value' the actual data. [http://www.rastko.net/~nikola/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Here is an example of Extension:Data in action] great stuff | |||
* <tt>[http://www.rastko.net/~nikola/wiki/index.php/Language Language extesion]</tt> - this is really excellent. it allows to have '''multi-lingual pages'''. Must learn more about this mysterious and evasive extension - it's not listed in mediawiki.org extension matrix - also changes the language of the mediawiki navigation | |||
* <tt>[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist Extension:SpamBlacklist]</tt> - [[regex]]es against spammers - installed and working. | |||
* <tt>[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit Extension:ConfirmEdit]</tt> - installed and working. | |||
* <s><tt>[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualMathCaptcha Extension:VisualMathCaptcha]</tt></s> strike this - supports only MediaWiki 1.16 and below - anti-bot measure. See [[w:CAPTCHA|CAPTCHA]] if you don't know what it is | |||
== Images via $wgForeignFileRepos == | |||
We can have Company logos etc. from Wikimedia Commons, no need to upload a gazillion logos just for use in Consumerium. See [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=Coca+Cola&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns6=1&ns12=1&ns14=1&ns100=1 Commons images for "Coca Cola"] or [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=Logos+of+companies+in+Quebec&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns6=1&ns12=1&ns14=1&ns100=1 logos of companies in Quebec] etc. | |||
<tt>from wm-bot: InstantCommons is a feature for MediaWiki 1.16+ '''that allows any MediaWiki installation to use media on the Wikimedia Commons'''. This has basically been realized via $wgForeignFileRepos. See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos>. If you're only looking to use images from Wikimedia Commons and no other wikis, you can use the shortcut setting $wgUseInstantCommons to true.</tt> | |||
