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.

Logistics & Back-end

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
• 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)

Config

• Interwiki links for Combine Overwiki, TF Wiki, VDC.
• Set Vector to default skin – Seb 15:02, 21 April 2011 (PDT)

Everything else

• Maintenance Templates
  • Seriously need these to continue with Templates.

• Image licenses
  • Refine the license list, making sure we only have what's absolutely necessary.
  • Templates for each type of license.
    • TFWiki is very object-orientated with its use of templates for this.
  • 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: $wgLocaltimezone = 'UTC';
  • Interface time to UTC: $wgLocalTZoffset = null;

• 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.

• 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.
