wiki

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWebCamp wiki by expanding it.

wiki may refer to:

• suggestions / discussion about the indiewebcamp wiki itself.
• page type: the wiki-page as type of page or content
• projects: specific wiki-projects related to indieweb wiki hosting

Page type

In addition to sequential / time-ordered posts, many in the IndieWebCamp community either want to or already host a wiki or wiki pages on their own personal site.

Wiki pages are typically editable and versioned with visible / easily accessible version history & browsable versions. Wiki pages are often also multi-authored and have a multi-platform interface (like any web-based content hosting solution).

• Tom Morris has his own wiki at http://wiki.tommorris.org/
• Amber Case has her own wiki at http://caseorganic.com/wiki/
• ...

There are also various wiki hosting sites / silos.

Projects

IndieWebCamp projects related to wiki hosting/creation/editing:

• Federated Wiki
  • as conceived/created/developed/launched at IndieWebCamp 2011
• MediaWiki
  • Used by Tom Morris on wiki.tommorris.org.

Uploading by Email

You can upload files to this wiki via email, which is often easier to do on a phone than sign in to the wiki and use the MediaWiki interface.

Send a file attachment to [email protected]. Any text in the body of your email will be added as the description of the photo. The subject line is ignored. You will get an email response after the wiki processes the photo, but you might need to check your spam folder for the reply.

[css] diffs sometimes becoming hidden

wiki needs responsive css layout maybe?

atm table.diff is direct child of the div which holds entire article, so overflow:scroll will also scroll everything else :(

http://indiewebcamp.com/wiki/index.php?title=authorship&action=historysubmit&diff=26777&oldid=15823

wiki-login URLs with symbols like `/`, `?`, `&` and https-only

obfuscated wiki's userpage-title URLs, which containing symbols like /, ?, & and https-only (without redirect from http-counterpart) are being used as actual URLs on related services (like IRC)

leads to wrong URLs, henceforth 404s

example: http://indiewebcamp.com/User:Unicyclic.com_mal -> -> http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2016-04-08#t1460112925864

possible solution?

# 10:41 aaronpk you can hide the default title on your user page and add your own # 10:42 aaronpk add __NOTITLE__ in the page then just use regular header syntax

Don’t style the colour of form inputs

This is me searching for test on the wiki:

Now with the color style removed:

Don’t hate those of us with dark themes

Update Idno -> Known in the sponsors at the bottom of the page

Embed WebmentionDressing

See aaronpk/self#3

Distinguish links to nonexistent pages

The default theme doesn't visually distinguish links to nonexistent pages from links to existing pages, so if you mistype a link you won't know it's wrong unless you click on it. I had a bunch of wrong links on my user page (didn't realize capitalization mattered) and only noticed when I tried on a different theme (Simple) & suddenly a bunch of them had strikethrough.

The Teahouse theme (which works so much better on my phone!) doesn't distinguish either.

Incorporate WebmentionDressing

There's an "iframe ready" gist now (demo), and it's really easy to theme (I think).

tl;dr you just put this in an iframe and use your path as the URL hash (#IndieAuth, #2014/Online, etc.)

If you're game (just nod), I can fork an alternative theme (maybe without bootstrap) and we can have a theme selection dropdown and a "fork and propose your own theme" link. Could be fun.

Improve date readibility

Currently the events page uses YYYY-MM-DD which has two problems. First, the year is first, so if you scan down the left edge you see only years which is not very useful. Second, there is month/day ambiguity between US and the rest of the world, so I'm not sure whether this is April 9th or September 4th.

Current: 2014-04-09 Desired: 09 April 2014

Add "remember me" checkbox to login screen

Used to be there...not sure what happened to it. Probably is actually part of the IndieAuth MediaWiki plugin

Update Mediawiki version

The current Mediawiki version 1.17 is quite out of date. Need to update to the current version. The main challenge will be making sure the plugins and skin is compatible.

Add a custom icon to the site

This will mean I can tell which tabs are indiewebcamp in Chrome, and have other benefits listed in the handy Icon page: http://indiewebcamp.com/icon

Better mobile editing support

Add or change the theme to have mobile support for editing.

• This means that on mobile view have a text box that is capable of being scrolled through that is not so wide that it forces the editor to scroll left and right across the screen. Use case: Ben Ward had trouble doing this during the morning of IndieWebCamp UK 2013.

Possible solution: Install and use this extension http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension%3aMobileDetect, to detect this skin (WP Touch)
