Palo Alto—Hi, I help with Teflpedia server administration from time to time.
I founded Wikigogy, which is in process of migrating to Teflpedia, and the TEFLChina email lists and wiki.
[edit] To Do
- MediaWiki talk:Login-throttled
- Clean up all pages in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Wikigogy
- Look and laugh at Special:RecentChanges. Where have the spambots gone? ;-)
- Done. {{box|...}} may be better formatted text-align:left. Consider change. Template:Conversation for example looks bad with centered text.
- Put {{feed me}} on some pages, or retire it (I have since invented {{heart}} and {{sticky}}
- Remove upgrade notice when the time seems right. Maybe in a month? (I added Extension DismissSiteNotice so perhaps give notice 6 months to run its course--some veteran users may not realize they need to select Vector skin in preferences to get it. Maybe set a blank Anonymous user site notice in April. Maybe an April 1 site notice on April 1 for fun!)
- Check category:Hard Hat Area and templates {{hardhat}} and {{under construction}}.
- Why do .svg files get: Error creating thumbnail: /home/bilbo/public_html/teflpedia.com/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: convert: command not found
- Study this page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration
- I think we don't have ImageMagic installed at Dathorn server. Anyway, I see no 'convert' command in /usr/bin nor in /url/local/bin
- Add license choices to Upload form.
- Done. Why isn't Lesson:Bill's crazy spree/Gina and the girls listed in Category:Love me?
- It is there now, so not to worry. Probably was some kind of caching issue kept it out yesterday. Hard to pin those caching issues down.
- Done. Put a hard hat image on template:under construction
- Check and update all Templates.
- Check all the pages imported from Wikigogy. Some are missing their images. Some may be missing their templates.
- Done. Someone could write a page explaining the wiki way or the wiki way.
- Figure out why spam regex trips on MediaWiki:Common.css (currently commented out in LS because of this problem)
- Done. Pending Bob's approval, limit skin choices to only the four skins that _show_ the site logo.
- Figure out what is wrong with Template:Feedback (even though it is only in one of Bob M's talk archives).
- Done. Check performance of Template:Welcome in User talk:Onion.
- Done. See Template:Welcome -- I removed FONT tags. In MediaWiki 1.18.1 FONT tags, which by the way are way out of date and should not be used, cause the DIV tag of these templates to fail to close. That failure to close the DIV tag caused the template to style the whole page insteard of just the intended content within the template. So don't use FONT tags in templates. Then I parked all the CSS in the {{box|text here}} template.
[edit] Trivia
- The history of Lesson:Postcard home (click it's "View history" tab) predate the existence of Teflpedia! And who is Teacherchrisman, anyway?
