This wiki has been in place since at least 2012, and many pages have not been updated in years. There are pages for [[:category:Tools and Equipment (Defunct)|tools we no longer have]], outdated pages on tools we do have, and a lack of information on newer tools and on our teams and how the space works.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 resource that all ~600 of our members can count on.

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

===Adding dates===
 
===Adding dates===
−
A lot of the information on the wiki is lacking dates. This can be helped by adding date= parameter to any relevant template. Also categories like [[:Category:Project started in 2012]], [[:Category:Tools and Equipment acquired in 2013]] etc. could help.

===Categorise all uncategorised pages===
+
===Categories===
−
Categorise all uncategorised pages. Especially useful for template pages, as it avoids making a template that already exists. We could make a tag for uncategorised pages. See [[Special:SpecialPages]]:
 
  
−
* [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]] {{done|date=December 2018}}
+
====Tools and equipment====
−
* [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates]]  {{done|date=December 2018}}
+
All the Textile Workshop tool need re-categorising as Tools and Equipment in Craft Room (by change location in Tools infobox)
−
* [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] (136)
 
−
* [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]] (~1,316)
 
  
−
*Remove [[Special:UnusedCategories|unused categories]] if no longer useful.
+
====Categorise all uncategorised pages====
−
*Add categories to Widget: pages

** [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] (136) {{med}}
 +
** [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]] (~1,316) {{low}}

+
* Add categories to Widget: pages {{med}}
  
−
===Topics needing better coverage===
+
* Many team pages have a category closely associated with them - add relevant pages (for example, [[Team:Metalworking]] will have many pages for [[:category:Metalwork]])  {{med}}
−
* Try to get info crafty tools and arty things as these seem to have little documentation currently. Things like screen printing are totally absent from the wiki.
+
 
 +
====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 <nowiki>{{grey-start}}</nowiki>
 +
 
 +
===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 {{high}}
 +
** 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 {{med}}
 +
** [[Wikipedia:Template:Ping|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
 +
** [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension%3aCategoryTree Extension:CategoryTree] and/or
 +
** [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension%3aDynamicPageList_%28Wikimedia%29 Extension:DynamicPageList (Wikimedia)]
 +
* Tooltips
 +
* [[WikiPedia:WYSIWYG|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 [[Special:Version|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 [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page#Using_article_creation_template code]
 +
 
 +
====Mobile phones====
 +
* Serve styles better suited to mobile phones, see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Mobiles,_tablets_and_responsive_design Manual:Mobiles, tablets and responsive design] {{high}}
 +
 
 +
===Templates===
 +
* Infobox for [[Template:Event|Events]]
 +
* Infobox for Network locations
 +
* Welcome new wiki user template, should be used with substitution (update notes on [[Nottinghack Wiki:Maintenance]]).
 +
*Make template to get left string (see [[Wikipedia:Template:Padleft]] and [[Wikipedia:Template:Str left]]). This will allow images to be specified with or without File: prefix.
 +
* Make merge banner template.{{clarify|date=March 2019}}
 +
* Add optional date parameter to banner template missing this parameter.
 +
 
 +
===Widgets===
 +
* [[Widget_talk:Flickr#Bug_-_gallery_vanishes_on_reload]] - fix bug in Flickr gallery widget {{low}}
 +
 
 +
===Tidy Pages===
 +
* Fix [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] ~30
 +
 
 +
===Graphics===
 +
Icons needed to replace 'H's in lower three boxes on frontpage [[NottingHack]], and one for [[Template:Archive]].
 +
 
 +

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 #wiki channel on Slack.

Priority List

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

Bugs

  • Several people reported being unable to log in on the Google Group (SLA pledge pages and mentioned on Slack)  

Page content and maintenance

Missing pages

Hackspace Information
  • Location pages -As part of a wider documentation project in the hackspace we should create a page for each area of the space, and keep all relevant information on the wiki for members and guests to view.  
  • Some Workshop and Dusty Area tools need pages including the Axminster Bandsaw and a 'portable' Mitre saw (as you walk in its on the far side)

There's also manual ones under one of the work benches in the non dusty area (AKA workshop)

Pages to update

  • Update Hackspace 2.5
  • Tools/We Have - list needs tidy and update - maybe have separate pages for each cat of tool?  
  • Members list - redesign table for open ended blog and social media pages - add options to member template
  • HMS - update or make new page for HMS 2  
  • Expand Screen Printing Area
  • Update info about new heaters

Link to flickr albums

Page types and boiler plates

See also: User:Mikehaber/Document structure - pattern draft
  • Tools   - Wiki team was about making page for Viking Loom
  • Projects
  • New editor welcome

Project Pages

  • Reorganisation of project pages;
Maybe have separate subcategories for projects that of large 'Projects (by team)' and ones that are more or less solo 'Projects (by member).
92 Projects are using it as of 16/05/2019
Close out old projects by marking them as Complete or Dormant

Location pages and maps

  • Page for all areas downstairs - done?
  • CNC corridor is now more of an Electronics area, change location map graphic to reflect this
  • Mini-maps for locations with lots of equipment/sub-locations?
  • Street access map
  • Make clicking on infobox takes you to floor level view (instead of image page)
  • Add click upstairs/downstairs on floor plan maps
  • Standard floor images, use SVG?

Rule pages

  • Tag top of page with {{RuleArchived}} and content with striked text <s> and {{grey-start}} and {{grey-end}} style. Also, any wikilinks pointing to those rule pages should be delinked.  

Tool pages

  • It would be good if members with a particular expertise can add info about tools to wiki. Bob Wood maybe able to help with woodworking tools. Could shout out the google group.

Physical link to space

  • Add QR code 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

Integration

  • Work on integrating the Rules and Guide (on Github) with wiki (have any changes been pulled in).

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

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
