Portal Wiki:Current events

Welcome to the brand new Portal 2 Wiki!

TODO
As a new Wiki, we've got a lot of stuff to do before we can be "open". Feel free to append items to this list.

Extensions to be installed

 * ParserFunctions
 * (Installed, just need to add require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" ); to LocalSettings.php to turn it on.


 * CategoryTree
 * GroupPermissions
 * * UNINSTALLED - Couldn't figure out how to save changes. Manually editing LocalSettings.php is adequate for us.
 * WikiEditor replaces the old toolbox thing and is really gud (used on Wikipedia & written by some MW devs too) seb 15:19, 21 April 2011 (PDT) not working. Doesn't want to play nice. Will try again later. seb 04:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Config

 * Interwiki links for Combine Overwiki, TF Wiki, VDC.
 * Done. hl2:Combine Overwiki, tf:TF2 Wiki and vdc:Valve Developer Community seb 04:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Set Vector to default skin – Seb 15:02, 21 April 2011 (PDT)

Everything else

 * Maintenance Templates
 * Seriously need these to continue with Templates.
 * Delete Reasons


 * Image licenses
 * Refine the license list, making sure we only have what's absolutely necessary.
 * Templates for each type of license.
 * A help page explaining what each type of license is and where it should be used.


 * Main Page
 * We need to decide what sort of content our Main Page will display.
 * Updates
 * Items
 * Characters
 * Did you know(?)
 * Featured Article (I'm just ripping off TFWiki here I know.)


 * Non-spoilerish.
 * Decide a way to document the game in a way which won't compromise any readers of whom haven't yet played.
 * Spoiler warnings at the top of each page?
 * Something like: This page documents an aspect of the game which is considered involved with the storyline. Expect Spoilers."?


 * LocalSettings.php (I think that's the right file) adjustments:
 * Signature time to UTC:
 * Interface time to UTC:
 * Enable to use any title:


 * Change the Wiki's logo. Here's my proposal, and how it looks.
 * User:Alex2539 came up with a better logo. It's overwritten my logo idea so the striked-out link above will still link to it.
 * Edit the CSS and change the reference to headbg.jpg to link to this PNG headbg.


 * Implement usergroup permissions as Pilk drafted for the TF Wiki. Link.
 * This is all good except the autoconfirmed limits. 200 edits & 10 days is way too high just to avoid captchas. I suggest 4 days & 10 edits (which is what Wikipedia has it at). seb 04:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Implement the UTC time listed at the top of the page as is on the TF Wiki.
 * Turns out this was a custom JS of mine on the TF Wiki, however tis useful so I've implemented it here. RJackson 09:03, 21 April 2011 (PDT)


 * Change the site content license. CC-BY-NC-SA seems ok but I fear will be a little too complicated if Valve ever decides to pick us up again. It's probably really unlikely it'll be a problem but I think just CC-BY 3.0 would be better because it's simpler Seb 15:02, 21 April 2011 (PDT)


 * Localization:
 * YES
 * Languages should be locked down to those supported by the game itself:
 * ar, cs, da, de, es, fi, fr, hu, it, ja, ko, nl, no, pl, pt, pt-br, ro, ru, sv, zh-hans, zh-hant
 * These are exactly the same ones we have on TF Wiki.
 * seb 15:19, 21 April 2011 (PDT)


 * Allow the steam:// protocol for external links.


 * Break Main Page layout down into some more separate templates. I'd like each "module" to be in its own template - I'll do it later when I wake up / decide I can't sleep.

Content

 * Poot all kind of Portal content on dis wiki, doc.

See April 21, 2011 Patch.
 * Template:Patch layout needs to be implemented (along with Template:Navbox with columns.)


 * BLU Resurrection Associate Pin.png We need an internet browser icon!


 * The first letter of a user name can become lowercase through CSS.


 * Template:See also needs to be finished.


 * Links that have already been visited once should change to a different color, the purple that is in place now is too close to blue.
 * I kinda like the purple now, it's more suiting to the skin. seb 04:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * The front page has a  that reads "Main Page," this should be removed.
 * Added hide rules to CSS. seb 04:41, 22 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Create the Help pages. See Help:Contents.

What navs do we need?

 * Portal nav
 * Portal 2 nav
 * Test chamber nav
 * Portal
 * Portal 2 SP
 * Portal 2 Co-op
 * Character nav
 * Item nav
 * Hats
 * In-game items that can be interacted with
 * Weighted Storage Cube
 * Those laser cube things
 * ...Well, just cubes I guess.
 * Threats?
 * Turrets
 * Rocket turrets
 * Lasers in P2 (I imagine they harm)
 * Poison liquid floor stuff
 * aka. Acid.

Article infobox

 * Needs to cover
 * Characters
 * Items in game
 * Could copypasta the OTFWiki one, hugely trimmed down of course. Moussekateer 05:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Bugs

 * New server seems to accept question marks as valid mediawiki page names.   results in the wiki-equivelent of a 404.
