Vision

What the wiki should provide :

• A place to share and find information
• An efficient and noninvasive way to communicate between pirates.

Projects

• Improve the wiki
• Document the wiki
• Translate the wiki

Visual editor

We consider the option of installing the Visual Editor to ease page edition.

Blocking

• We are not sure whether this new tool would make the edition easier, or on the opposite it will complexify everything by hiding wiki syntax from the user.
  • This requires more discussions within the WikiSquad.

Translations

As of February 2017, we installed the Translate extension. We are currently testing it in order to see if it fits our needs. We also plan to install the ContentTranslation extension.

Issues

• There is a "bug" with Semantic Mediawiki and with Categories. Translated pages using a sidebar, such as Template:ProjectSidebar, occurs several times in the generated category. For instance, Apartmentgarden will show up four times (one per language + the original page) in the Category:Active Projects. The exact same problem occurs with semantic data.
  • I made a quick fix for Template:ProjectSidebar so that translated pages don't show up in categories. It does the job for now... --HgO (talk) 12:05, 4 March 2017 (CET)

Blocking

• ContentTranslation requires the installation of a server to work.

Future

• Provide adequate tools to crews and squads to easy their workflow.
• Implement an alternative to the mailing list (with semantic).
• Improve the searching tool.

Done

• February 2017: We implemented a calendar through Semantic Mediawiki, see [1]. The result can be found here.
• January 2017: We moved the Wiki to a new server.

TODO

• Create/import a template 'outdated content/page'.
• Organise, distribute and manage statues administrator and Bureaucrate and delete obsolete user accounts
• Propose wiki templates in the according page
