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
(Installed, just need to addrequire_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php" );
to LocalSettings.php to turn it on.
CategoryTreeGroupPermissions- * 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 PageWe 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:
$wgLocalTZoffset = null;
Enable {{DISPLAYTITLE}} to use any title:$wgRestrictDisplayTitle = false;
- Signature time to UTC:
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.
Template:Patch layout needs to be implemented (along with Template:Navbox with columns.)
See April 21, 2011 Patch.
- 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 aDISPLAYTITLE
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.
- 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

- Lasers in P2 (I imagine they harm)
- Poison liquid floor stuff
- aka. Acid.
Article infobox

Bugs
- New server seems to accept question marks as valid mediawiki page names.
?action=purge
