====Missing tool pages====
There are a number of tools in the space which aren't documented. A tool is worth documenting if it's particularly loved or well used. It's especially worth adding a page for if there is any safety or maintenance details to share.
 
Here are some requests for specific tools:


===Page content and maintenance===
* There's also manual ones under one of the work benches in the non dusty area (AKA workshop)
====Missing pages====

This wiki has been in place since at least 2012, and many pages have not been updated in years. There are pages for tools we no longer have, outdated pages on tools we do have, and a lack of information on newer tools and on our teams and how the space works. The plan is to bring this wiki back up to date, and make it a better resource our members find useful and interesting.

Its worth mentioning that our wiki is probably one of the better ones, when compared with other Hackspaces in the UK.

How to help

You can help by simply picking any page at all and updating it! Be Bold with your changes, nothing is lost when the wiki is edited; We can always revert back.

Every wiki page has a discussion page (see tab at top left of page). For general wiki discussion or to request help there is the #comms channel on Discord.

Priority List

Priorities listed by topic -  To do  tag priority level (high  , med  , low  ).

Page content and maintenance

Missing tool pages

There are a number of tools in the space which aren't documented. A tool is worth documenting if it's particularly loved or well used. It's especially worth adding a page for if there is any safety or maintenance details to share.

Here are some requests for specific tools:

Location pages and maps

  • Standardise floor images, using SVG

Physical link to space

  • Reprint some QR codes stickers/tags in space that link to relevant wiki page
    • QR code link on left-hand column needs testing - to ensure it links to right page.

Encourage participation in Wiki

  • Encourage general membership to post projects.
Even just a picture is ok, big essays are not necessary :)
- how? see talkpage

Good wiki practice

Naming conventions and categories

  • Have a naming convention for categories template etc. - for example, only capitalise first letter unless proper noun. Start with category type word first, for example, 'Category:Templates emoji' rather than 'Emoji templates'.
  • Move articles that have been placed at the top of a category pages, for example Category:Rules and previously Category:Network. Move them back to article space.

Adding dates

Style

  • Decorate infoboxes' as appropriate. For example, text white on dark green used in Template:Tool.
  • List of currently coded styles - for example there is a style for the boxes on the front page (-early 2019)
  • Add fancy CSS
  • Add long-winded or frequently used styles (esp. table) to CSS
  • CSS to scale images by page percentage see example
  • Make CSS for style used in tables on power page  
  • Make CSS for style on template LinkTable and Community links

Photos

Categories

Tools and equipment

All the Textile Workshop tool need re-categorising as Tools and Equipment in Craft Room (by change location in Tools infobox)

Categorise all uncategorised pages

  • Add categories to Widget: pages  

Inter linking pages

  • Categories should help readers discover pages by subject. Another way to aid discovery is to link from other relevant pages. See Special:WhatLinksHere in the left hand column. If no other page link to the page can be another reason for readers not finding it.

Archiving

  • Archive pages with historical information
Test example of archive style Old Wood lathe using {{grey-start}}

MediaWiki extensions

Most or all extensions will have to wait until the MediaWiki software is upgraded, as per March meeting. However, preparity research can be done - find out the best extension for a particular use and what MediaWiki version it needs.

  • Better search  
    • Main search could be set to search all pages (apart from media) to make it easier to find pages in namespaces with a prefix
    • Would it be possible to search rules, guide and wiki all-in-one?
  • Wiki notifications  
    • Ping wiki users
    • Send thanks for edits
  • Semantic Wiki - data structure for pages, allows form -> infobox
  • Extension for dynamic display of Categories within a page
  • Tooltips
  • WYSIWYG editing, two main contenders:
    • MediaWikiWiki:Extension:VisualEditor pros: native editor handles tables and templates well, can generate detailed reflinks, cons: harder to install, needs to use older version for MediaWiki 1.32 (as NHack on 1.32, latest version of extension needs 1.35-alpha)
    • MediaWikiWiki:Extension:TinyMCE pros - easier to install, can use TinyMCE plugins, latest version works on MediaWiki 1.23+, cons: non native so less tight integration
  • Ignore caps on wikilinks (for example, using Category:Utility templates would still link to Category:Utility Templates)
  • Something to display the number of page views
  • Extension:InputBox - for easy new page creation code
