Revision as of 02:15, 22 March 2020

The following list is transcluded on the Desired features page and Appropedia:How you can help.

OUTDATED

Most of this is antiquated. Maybe we should consolidate to Github where some of the newer stuff is. --Lonny (talk) 02:15, 22 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

High Priority

Extensions

mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.

+== High Priority ==
-These are the very highest priorities for new features and fixes on Appropedia, in rough order. Can you find a concrete task (big or small) to help with?

+=== Extensions ===
-There are many features that would be nice to have (see [[Appropedia:Desired features]]). Our current priorities are:
-# New [[Appropedia:Skin|skin]] - very important to make Appropedia an enjoyable and usable site for visitors.
+* [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]] - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
-# Social & forum features within our MediaWiki or Wordpress sites?
+* FCKeditor has a [[Appropedia talk:Village pump#How is the rich editor?|few problems]] - can you help us to identify the areas of problem code, or even solve any of them?
-# Adding semantic features without some of the non-user-friendly aspects of [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ Semantic MediaWiki]. How does SMW work with FCKEditor? Which features of SMW should we turn on? (Off: Inline semantic information is probably confusing to newbies unless handled very cleverly in WYSIWYG. On: Allowing users to view the intersection of categories would be a very useful feature. On: Project tracking.)
-# Fix RecentChanges cache (?) so it's possible to view more than 7 days.
-# A box on the navbar letting people easily email friends about the page they're viewing. "Tell a friend about this site. Email addresses will not be saved or used for any other purpose."
-# Map/geotagging features. (What do we want? Allow searching by distance from location...)
-# Develop a plan for grading articles and flagging them according to accuracy, reliability, usefulness. This raises many issues, including the weighting given to ranking by regular users compared to "expert" users. The ''Flagged Revisions'' extension is likely to be important, and so is the voting extension used on http://usability.wikimedia.org/ .
-# [[mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo]]  - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
-# [[mw:Extension:MultiUpload]] - speed file upload.
-# ParserFunctions - the extension, or whatever gives Wikipedia the logical functions in templates, that we don't have.
-# [[Appropedia:Desired features#Banner for visitors from partner sites|Banner for visitors from partner sites]]
