What follows is likely of little interest. It is just a log of technical issues and changes related to running the wiki.

Technical Issues and Changes

New Platform March 2026

Migrated off old server platform and was (finally) able to upgrade to the current version of Mediawiki 1.45 from 1.32.

This meant that we could make the site mobile friendly.

Still struggling with migrating from some of the old Mediawiki workarounds that don't work in the new version.

Extensions Installed

See: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:MediaWiki_extensions

Linked Image Example

Usage

Add to a page:

{{#Click:Target|Image:Example.png|90px|Caption is here.}}

Width (90px) and caption are optional. Target may be an internal or external link, but internal links take precedence.

Update to 1.82

Update to 1.82 seems to have worked. Extensions for Linked Images and Snap seem to no-longer break RSS, although this update to the ST Talk page should be the test for RSS that was breaking in NetVibes.

RSS still broken

Had to disable LinkedImages and Snap Linked Images inserts an extra line at the beginning of the RSS file.

Snap breaks the syntax
