For Staff

  • $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault array( -1 => 0, 0 => 1, 1 => 1, 2 => 1, 3 => 0, 4 => 0, 5 => 0, 6 => 0, 7 => 0, 8 => 0, 9 => 0, 10 => 0, 11 => 0 , 12 => 0, 13 => 0, 14 =>1, 15=>1 )
    • Make this default search better... this lives in the LocalSettings.php
  • Add interwiki links as necessary:
    • Login to phpMyAdmin and navigate to Server: Localhost -> Database: appropedia -> Table: w1interwiki.
    • Click the browse tab for a list of all rows in the table.
    • At the bottom of the page, select insert new row.
    • On the following page, fill in the keyword for interwiki linking in the value field of iw_prefix. Then type the wiki URL into the field iw_url. Make sure to append $1 to the URL (this will be replaced with the article name). e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1 for Wikipedia.
    • NOTE: do not select a function for either fields. This will convert the values you have entered. Ignore the fields iw_local and iw_trans.
    • Click go, and check to see if a new entry has been added to the table.
      • Additional note: when I first tried this, I clicked the insert tab at the top of the page and did the same as above. It did not work, but also did not appear to cause any problems. If you experience problems with interwiki linking, please have an experienced phpMyAdmin user check it out.

    • when redirect from greywater to category:greywater occurs, no subcategories are shown.

For All

  • Topics are now called categories to match with inherent wiki format
  • keep building list of topics, but maybe as categories
    • e.g. Kirsten Thompson - Male Contraception
  • add organization namespace
  • MORE IMPORTANT: add project namespace or change article namespace to project namespace (I like the 2nd idea better)
  • keep working on main page
  • resource, books, tools reviews format suggestion:
    • title/ suitable unique descriptor
    • author/source
    • review (personal comment), signed? Reviews have value when they come from somebody's experience
    • relevant picture, maybe not the cover
    • relevant quote(s) quotes or a single picture for reviews are generally allowed under copyright rules
    • space/structure for further comments

Unlike the main articles, which should attempt unified result through peer review, I believe reviews themselves should show personal opinions, with some editing as needed for neatness/spelling/appropriatedness, to avoid a "from the pulpit" endorsement of a given resource.

  • Consider distancing the categories from encylopedic entries and/or just doing some type of transclussion.
  • Once we have a "Working" namespace, encourage teachers with language such as:
Hey teachers - Post your curricullum on the working pages 
Students can make comments, or ask comments (or consider a seperate Q&A page)
See ____________ for an example
To start just type something like Working:Myname_Mycourse
