KB Wishlist

  • Image uploading for screenshots
    Likely just a configuration kerz turned off. Limiting it to a certain size and only images is OK.
  • The ability to list categories at the top of the article
  • Cross-namespace redirects, ie: redirect from an article to a category
    A problem with 1.5.x (we run 1.5.7), presumably fixed in 1.6 and later [1]
  • External redirects, like devmo has.
  • Search should not suck
    • Three-character works should be searchable (SSL, "pop" in pop-up, tab, etc.)
      [2] and set $wgDBminWordLen to 3 in LocalSettings.php
    • Perhaps use Google search?
      Caveat: searches all namespaces, including user and talk pages. Bad thing?
  • Turn on account creation again, with some sort of bot-stopper like a captcha or something
