- Redirects
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. [2]
- What do these do? -kerz
- Lets you redirect to pages outside of the knowledge base. Instead of showing the user a page like [3], it would just go there.--Np 20:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- What do these do? -kerz
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:Googlesearch
- Caveat: searches all namespaces, including user and talk pages. Bad thing?
- Three-character works should be searchable (SSL, "pop" in pop-up, tab, etc.)
- 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.
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
- The ability to list categories at the top of the article, so we don't need {{upto}}

Being complicated for no reason
To solve this problem, do one of two things:

Using a hex editor...
