UESPWiki:Upgrade History/2006

This is an archive of past UESPWiki:Upgrade History discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page, except for maintenance such as updating links.

22 November 2006

• Modified MonoBook.php to put the search box higher. Still may tweak with its position some as I get feedback.

8 November 2006

• Added the following settings to LocalSettings.php

 $wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createpage']      = false;
 $wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createtalk']      = true;
 $wgAutoConfirmAge = 3600*24;

6 November 2006

• Fixed extra blank lines in several extensions that were causing errors in the RSS feeds.
• Started ntpd to fix the server time which was slightly off.
• Improved the namespace display on the search page.

3 November 2006

• Updated good article count from 2877 to 4431 (was not updating in a while). The article count was derived from:

  SELECT COUNT( * ) FROM page
  LEFT JOIN revision ON ( rev_id = page_latest ) LEFT JOIN text ON ( old_id = rev_text_id )
  WHERE ( page_namespace %2 =0) AND (page_namespace =0 OR page_namespace >=100) 
  AND old_text LIKE '%[[%'

• Added $wgContentNamespaces to LocalSettings.php to properly update the article counts for pages in other namespaces (seems to be working).
• Added $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit = true setting.
• Adding $wgAllowUserCss = true and $wgAllowUserJs = true settings.

30 October 2006

• Updated Oblivion alchemy calculator.
• Made the wiki link on the old site larger.
• Updated wiki to 1.8.2.
• Fixed some minor errors that regularily occur on the old site (to keep error_log as small as possible).
• Enabled the rename user extension.
• Finally got automatic backups of Wiki database and image directory working.

15 October 2006

• Improved image thumbnail creation thanks to changes made by Nephele.
• Added SVG to allowed upload types.
• Tried to install the Renameuser extension but noted it requires v1.7.0 of the Wiki. Will defer until I get around to upgrading PHP and the Wiki.
• Added the SpamBlacklist extension as required. It prevents pages with URLS matching regexes on the UESPWiki:Spam_Blacklist page from being saved. Tested quickly and it seems to work.
• Upgraded to v1.5 of the StringFunctions extensions. Not tested.
• Changed permissions to disallow regular users from patrolling articles (I think).
• Edited several PHP scripts to produce fewer errors (was filling up the error log unnecessarily).

23 August 2006

• Finished minor tweaks in order for most pages to validate 100% using the Firefox HTML Validator Extension. Still a few warnings here and there that I'll continue to fix as I find them.

16 August 2006

• Installed the CheckUser extension with some difficulty. There were problems with it using the ExtensionFunctions.php file for defining a new special page due to use of file as a class variable (apparently conflicting with a function name). The problem was resolved by simply instancing the new special page class directly from CheckUser.php.

12 August 2006

• Fixed bug in the ParseFunctions extension which caused a huge number of error messages in the log.
• Rebuilt the link tables which fixes the problems with Special:Wantedpages and some other special pages.
• Modified Special:Lonelypages to check for template inclusion links which makes it much more useful.
• Modified the ParserCache.php file to allow the disableCache() function to work properly for extensions.

30 July 2006

• Performed security patch to kernel files as recommended by the web server company.
• Upgraded Wiki from 1.5.7 to 1.6.8
• Added the 'archive' path to the images directory which allows existing images to be updated.
• Added the Wiki extensions StringFunctions, ParserFunctions, CharInsert, and InputBox as requested.
• Fixed image directory permissions which allows thumbnails to automatically be used now.
• Added a few extra allowed image types (bmp, pcx, and tga).
