Article Creation Workflow

ArticleCreationWorkflow is a project that was initiated by the WMF (at the request of the English Wikipedia community) in 2012 to improve the workflow for creating new articles. This extension is installed in our wikis but not configured. The documentation is on mediawiki and a working example is the Article wizard on the English Wikipedia.

Date, Time and Magic Words

You local system clock should agree that it is Tuesday the 7 of April in the year 2026 and the time is 22:24 if this is not the case check the time zone in your preferences.

Babel

• Only Expectation here is that parser function is accepted by mediawiki, no support wiki's have babel set up currently:

Babel user information
Users by language

• If it is working correctly (1.35) you will see a box like this floating right (Below TOC):

Beta Features

• Adds a new BetaFeatures link and additional section in User Preferences, not enabled in supportwikis but installed in docker image:

Bugzilla Reports

• Future use on MTP Rack pages, syntax is like this:

{{#bugzilla:columns=id,priority,status,to,from,hardware,component,summary
 |status=OPEN,PENDING
 |priority=P1 - blocker,P2 - major
 |sort=priority,id
 |noresultsmessage="No matching bugs found."

Check User

CheckUser is an extension that allows a user (with the checkuser permission) to check which IPs are used by a given username and which usernames are used by a given IP, without having to run queries directly against the database by hand. The extension is running live on all Wikimedia wikis. Special:CheckUser

Cite (References)

Chart

Chart extension replaces Graph extension.

Note the following data pages (on common 'pool' wiki) used to create the below graphs:

Data:Chart_Example_Data.tab

Data:Example.Line.chart

Data:Example.Pie.chart

Data:Example.Area.chart

Data:Example.Bar.chart

Line

There was an error rendering the chart.

Bar

There was an error rendering the chart.

Area

There was an error rendering the chart.

Pie

Pie charts are a special chart type, and data sources may require modification to be rendered appropriately.

When reading data, any non-number columns (e.g., the x-axis) will be discarded, and the sum of all rows will be represented on the chart.

For example, where multiple rows depict values for A, B, and C on numerous dates, e.g., January 1st and January 2nd, the pie chart segment for A will represent the sum of all A's row values across those dates.

There was an error rendering the chart.

CLDR

CLDR provides a database from: unicode.org
Functionally this is implemented in parser functions like so:

Parser Function Example	Output	What it should be
{{#language:en|en}}	English	English
{{#language:en}}	English	English
{{#language:en|fr}}	anglais	anglais
{{#language:fr|en}}	French	French
{{#language:fr|fr}}	français	français
{{#language:fr}}	français	français

Clip Upload

ClipUpload allows to copy and paste an image directly into the source code editor

 

Note:   

Clipupload has been removed since 1.35 as it is no longer maintained and does not work with 1.35 and later

Code

When using a code example inline in a block of text use <code></code> tags.

Block of test with embedded example <code>this code snippet</code> note that the preformatted code is inline with the text.

Block of test with embedded example this code snippet note that the preformatted code is inline with the text.

Code Blocks

• Standard Pre formating should be tight to the code it's self:

Driver Status: Ok
RAID LUN 0 Degraded.
  *!! RAID LUN contains 256 lost blocks. !!*
      (raidtool -W 0) clears blocks.
      (raidtool -w 0) lists blocks.
  14 Drives (f,2,14,11,8,10,12,1,3,5,4,9,15,13)
  RAID 50 (64KB sectPerSU)
  Capacity 5,185,085,374,464 bytes

• Add class shell to make this Black & Green:

Driver Status: Ok
RAID LUN 0 Degraded.
  *!! RAID LUN contains 256 lost blocks. !!*
      (raidtool -W 0) clears blocks.
      (raidtool -w 0) lists blocks.
  14 Drives (f,2,14,11,8,10,12,1,3,5,4,9,15,13)

Code Editor

The CodeEditor extension extends the WikiEditor advanced editing toolbar with an embedded Ace editor widget, providing some handy features for user/site JS, CSS pages, and when Scribunto Extension is also installed, for pages in Module namespace.

• syntax highlighting for JavaScript, CSS and Lua
• auto-indent
• tab key produces tab indents (since 1.22), soft indents before.
• indent/unindent selection with tab/shift-tab
• syntax validity check for JavaScript
• Pair-matching for parenthesis, braces and square brackets

One of the easiest ways to see this working is edit or view source code of MediaWiki:Common.css it should look like this:

Code Mirror

The CodeMirror extension provides syntax highlighting in MediaWiki's wikitext editor. It adds a button with the icon to the editing toolbar that allows for switching syntax highlighting on and off. It supports the WikiEditor toolbar/

By default it is switched off. When switching on, it will replace the standard textarea with the editor provided by CodeMirror library.

• Enable here:

• Should look like this:

Contribution Scores

The Contribution Scores extension polls the wiki database to locate contributors with the highest contribution volume. The extension is intended to add metric for contributors to see how much they are helping out.

The score is defined as (number of unique pages edited) + 2 * square root ((number of edits) - (number of unique pages edited)).

For testing verify this page exists Special:ContributionScores

CSS

• crazy class for pink pre, custom css test included from Test.css page:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() 
{
    cout << "Hello, World!";
    return 0;
}

or (using pygments to format C++ code)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() 
{
    cout << "Hello, World!";
    return 0;
}

 

Note:   

Make sure to pass action=raw and ctype=text/css when editing customer css page for example

http://labwiki.dub.emea.dell.com/index.php?action=raw&title=Test.css&ctype=text/css&action=edit

Data Transfer

Data Transfer is an extension to MediaWiki that allows users to both export and import data from and to the wiki, with export done in XML format and import possible in both XML, CSV and some spreadsheet formats.

It should be noted that Data Transfer is not an ideal solution for backing up one's wiki, or transferring wiki pages from one MediaWiki site to another; for that, the much better solution is to use MediaWiki's built-in "Special:Export" and "Special:Import" pages.

Discussion Tools

The Discussion Tools extension is a set of tools to enhance discussion pages.

Examples are the Reply and Add Topic buttons on Talk pages:

Dismissable Site Notice

The DismissableSiteNotice extension allows users to close the sitenotice, using cookies. Not easy to test this one unless a site notice has been configured.

Detail of site notice implementation is on mediawiki

Display Title

The Display Title extension allows a page's display title to be used as the default link text in links to the page - both links from other pages as well as self-links on the page.

This page has a Display Title "Testing Times" this is created using magic word {{DISPLAYTITLE:Testing Times}}.

The link text for [[Test]] will be the display title if this extension is working (as a self reference it will show bold): Testing Times

Duplicator

Creates the ability for sysops to duplicate pages using this page: Special:Duplicator

Administrators can add sidebars for groups, and userpage categories via the pages "MediaWiki:Sidebar/Group:<group>", and "MediaWiki:Sidebar/Category:<category>".

Create the following subpage under your user page: User:User_Name/Sidebar

Add something similar to this:

* My Links
** Page_Name|Display Name

Easy Timeline

The EasyTimeline extension produces an embedded image from wikitext. The image can be a one-dimensional diagram (horizontally or vertically), or a two-dimensional one.

Echo

The Echo extension provides an in-wiki notification system that can be used by other extensions. Thanks and Structured Discussions (Flow) are two MediaWiki extensions that make use of Echo.

Echo does not work unless email is enabled and a user is confirmed by email.

File Importer

This extensions implements Special:ImportFile for importing files from other wikis, this will be found on the commons wiki

File Exporter

On the Details page for an image file there should be an option "Export File" this is utilised to export an image to commons:

Flagged Revisions

The Flagged Revisions extension allows for Editor and Reviewer users to rate revisions of articles and set those revisions as the default revision to show upon normal page view. These revisions will remain the same even if included templates or images are changed. This allows for MediaWiki to act more like a Content Management System (CMS).

• All pages should have this Revision Review Widget at the bottom of pages:
  

Flow

This extension has since been renamed Structured Discussions

Gadgets

• Confirm there is a gadgets tab in user preferences:
  

Header Tabs

The Header Tabs extension transforms top-level MediaWiki headers into JavaScript-based tabs.

 

Note:   

Only uses top level headers

Each such top-level header, if it's anywhere above the <headertabs /> tag, it will be displayed as a tab.

So typically this goes at the end of a page if it is desired for all sections to be displayed as header tabs.

use:

__NOTOC__
= A =
Section 1
= B =
Section 2
= C =
Section 3
= D =
Section 4

<headertabs />

File:Chrome Mobile View Example.png

Or view from an actual mobile device using VMware Web browser, either way confirm looks similar to this:

Modern Timeline

The Modern Timeline extension provides a modern timeline visualization for Semantic MediaWiki as a result format.

This extension requires semantic mediawiki.

Multimedia Viewer

• Clicking on Image should enable Multimedia Viewer, I have choose an image in commons due to possible config issues with AJAX and Cross Origin Requests:

• LDAPAuthentication2
• LDAPAuthorization
• LDAPGroups
• LDAPProvider
• LDAPUserInfo
• PluggableAuth

 

Tip:   

Best way to test this is log in

Namespace Manager

• Validate by confirming there are multiple customer namespaces on the search page such as L2 or L3

Navigation Timing

The NavigationTiming extension allows logging perceived latency measurements, exposed by browsers as part of the W3C Navigation Timing spec, which "defines an interface for web applications to access timing information related to navigation and elements".

This is installed on support wikis but not configured.

Nuke

• The dangerous Nuke extension makes it possible for sysops to mass delete pages. It is accessed here Special:Nuke

NumerAlpha

The NumerAlpha extension methods of inserting incrementing numbers, letters, and roman numerals into pages. You can reset the count at any moment or begin to a specified number.

Originally this extension was designed to supplement the Page Forms extension allowing to add a numbered table when you use the multiple option but you can also use it in templates by utilizing either the {{#tag: in |}} magic word or the {{#counter:}} parser function.

<ia>hello</ia> <ia>world</ia> <ia reset=1>goodbye</ia> <ia>world</ia> <ia begin=11>jupiter</ia> <ia>jazz</ia>	a. hello b. world a. goodbye b. world k. jupiter l. jazz

Paged Tiff Handler

Page Forms

Page Forms (known before 2016 as Semantic Forms) is an extension to MediaWiki that allows users to add, edit and query data using forms. It was originally created as an offshoot of the mediawikiwiki:Extension:Semantic MediaWiki extension, to be able to edit templates that store their parameters via SMW, which is why it was originally called "Semantic Forms". However, it can now also work with the alternative mediawikiwiki:Extension:Cargo extension, or with neither extension installed.

Page Forms allows you to have forms for creating and editing pages on your wiki, as well as for querying data, all without any programming. Forms can be created and edited not just by administrators, but by users themselves.

Additional Special Pages:

• Special:CreateCategory
• Special:CreateClass
• Special:CreateForm
• Special:CreateProperty
• Special:CreateTemplate
• Special:MultiPageEdit
• Special:Forms
• Special:RunQuery
• Special:FormStart
• Special:Templates

View when page forms in implemented on page using parser function {{#default_form:form-name}}:

Page Images

• Page images are listed on the P?action=info page for example:

http://labwiki.dub.emea.dell.com/wiki/Test?action=info

Page Triage

• Provides a widget with flyouts for easy moderating of new pages:
  

Parser Functions

• Parser Functions are heavily used all over the wikis, for example in the Set and Get Commmands on this page

PDF Handler

My PDF

My PDF

Popups

The Popups extension displays page and reference previews when hovering over a link to an article or respectively to a reference. The former consists of summaries of an article's content, the latter shows the full content of the reference.

Preloader

• In some Support wikis this is used to automatically add a "Draft" image and heading to each new page
• If this is not configured of your wiki add to LocalSettings.php $wgPreloaderSource[ NS_MAIN ] = 'Template:Draft';

Poem

Preformatted Text similar to pre and code only difference being that wiki markup is allowed in side the tags:

If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Visual Diffs

The visual diffs system highlights added text. (March 2017 version)

A visual diff compares and shows differences between rendered (or displayed) documents, as opposed to showing the text (or markup) that is used to format such documents.

Since 2017, the main approach for visual diffs in MediaWiki is the visual diffs system (pictured) provided by the VisualEditor extension, which compares the HTML of two documents. It provides visual diffs in VisualEditor's editing preview, as well as (still as a beta feature) in MediaWiki's standard diff display.

Who Is Watching

The WhoIsWatching extension allows to find out who is watching a particular page, and add others to watchlist for that page. It provides this Special:WhoIsWatching.

This extension also provides the {{#whoiswatching|Some Page}} parser function showing the number of watching users of Some Page plus providing a link to Special:WhoIsWatching/Some Page. This can be used with skins not supporting footer links or to create the WhoIsWatching link somewhere in a wiki page.

Wiki Love

WikiLove is an extension designed to promote the spread of WikiLove within Wikipedia and possibly other wikis. Specifically, it makes adding awards, gifts, and invitations to user talk pages as simple as clicking a few buttons.

This Heart icon will appear on a users personal page:

Wiki Editor

The WikiEditor extension provides an improved interface for editing wikitext. It is the wikitext editing interface that Wikipedia started using in 2010 for desktop users, and so it is sometimes called the "2010 wikitext editor". The extension used to provide "Labs" features for "publication" and "preview" steps, but these are removed from Version 1.31 onwards.

This is the editor from Testing Times and Testing Times transcluded below:

File:MsUpload Screenshot.PNG

Wiretap

The Wiretap extension allows users to track the usage of the wiki from Special:Wiretap.

It will display the pages hits by users in reverse chronological order. It is heavily based on Extension:UserPageViewTracker, but records each individual hit instead of counting number of hits. Additionally, it tracks the referring page for each hit, so you can see how each user got to the page. Also, it tracks hits to the Special:Wiretap page itself, so all snooping is being tracked.

 

Note:   

Where this is enabled it replaces HitCounters which is automatically disabled
