We have shiny Wiki

[TheLuda]

Good morning mangos community,

we have just given a bit of love to our Wiki, and now sport the all new MediaWiki 1.16 with awesome, sexy style, and oh so nice editing functions.

Enjoy the new Wiki, and feel free to feed the sheep in case of questions

With kind regards,

[vladex]

Great change!

thanks for your work here

[Toinan67]

Great news!

[TheLuda]

A few tiny issues with upgrading user preferences have been resolved, and we're now running MediaWiki 1.16.0, and have left beta stage behind us.

Tell the sheep if you spot any Wiki errors, please.

Awesome!

One sugestion, do you think you can increase the font size for codeboxes? It looks a little too small for 1600 resolutions.

Allso, the linux section could include a way to get packages for other distros. A reference to eatch package website should be good enough.

[TheLuda]

Depending on your browser you should easily be able to increase the Wiki text size. Every browser has a zoom function, and the new MediaWiki skin works damn well with zooming. Try it. I'm using it on a 24'' widescreen with plain zoom powered by Chrome.

Regarding content: It's open you can change what you want

TheLuda, could you please add an external link to YTDB ? Some prefer it more than UDB (me for example).

[TheLuda]

Just create a Wiki account and edit it

[The_Game_Master]

I was sure you were gonna suggest to use the browser's zoom. But that should be considered as an alternative.

[TheLuda]

Editing the font size should be an alternative, too. Not everyone has large screens Never mind, I'll see what I can do.

Besides.... the wiki now haz more shiny stuff:

• * Prettier - and even smarter - navigation on every page.
  * ... plus an all new editor with a revamped toolbar, making page editing oh so awesome smooth.

Update

All the tech updates have been finished, and we now have a fully working MediaWiki 1.16 installation, and I'd really like to highlight the uber awesome new editor once again. I'm sure this one is so damn good, it could save a kitten

[The_Game_Master]

Tip - you can add Wiki in the forum's header instead of the FAQ.

[Mythli]

And the "new" already very shiny wiki would be more shiny with more activity inside

take this as attention

[bisonte]

And now ... a new link to another databasedeveloper-team forum in there

[TheLuda]

I'm already working on the content part now. Will provide the basic stuff soon, like templates and all the other tiny things making editing easier. Plan is to make things work the same way editing works on MediaWiki.org.

Hello TheLuda,

Do you plan to add a kind of authentication bridge to avoid having multiple login and password on the hosted tools on getmangos ?

In case of yes, here are 2 ideas:

- a self dev reg bridge or a glued authentication between IPB and Mediawiki,

- a more professional SSO using CAS can be interesting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Authentication_Service ), many solutions exist, Jasig's one seems seductive.

In case of no, hummm just another l/p stored in my browser

Thanks for your consideration.

[TheLuda]

I could add OpenID support, and/or I could add a bridge between forums and wiki. Both is possible. I might even add Facebook/Twitter authentication.

Honestly, I do not prefer OpenID because it is an external auth. Keeping the auth without any external link seems better to me (mainly for privacy purposes).

[TheLuda]

Oh well, everybody is free to use his or her preferred auth system. I'll just embed them, and you can chose what you use.

If you are using Firefox, get QuickPageZoom. If you aren't... Well, you really should be.
