KB Wishlist
- Redirects
Searching- Three-character works should be searchable (SSL, "pop" in pop-up, tab, etc.)
- [4] and set $wgDBminWordLen to 3 in LocalSettings.php
- Sort by relevance, not by popularity
Perhaps use Google search? MediaWiki:GooglesearchCaveat: searches all namespaces, including user and talk pages. Bad thing?
- Three-character works should be searchable (SSL, "pop" in pop-up, tab, etc.)
- Logging in
- Turn on account creation again, with some sort of bot-stopper like a captcha or something
- In 1.6, "Support for a captcha extension to restrict automated spam edits: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ConfirmEdit_extension" [5]
- Re-use main site/forum logins.
- Turn on account creation again, with some sort of bot-stopper like a captcha or something
- Content
Image uploading for screenshots- Likely just a configuration kerz turned off. Limiting it to a certain size and only images is OK.
I turned this on - kerz
- Formatting
- The ability to list categories at the top of the article, so we don't need {{upto}}
KB things I hate
Words
- Utilize
Phrases
- It's been reported
- Note:
Formatting
- Using headers at the wrong level
- Too much indenting in discussions (only indent if you're actually replying to the comments above!)
- Not enough indenting in discussions (always indent if you're replying to the comments above!)
- Intro or Background sections
- Italicized intros
Being complicated for no reason
To solve this problem, do one of two things:
Method 1
Press a button.
Method 2
Using a hex editor...
Other
- Not leaving your signature in discussions
- Dev articles (move to devmo!)
- Probably a whole lot more
- Calling me NP
KB things I like
- Short, concise articles
- Semantic categorization
- Pref articles
- In-house style
- Firefox hangs/crashes, Error loading some/any websites.
