Tango.info wiki mediawiki

Overview

This page documents some customization to the MediaWiki (MW) installation used by the tango.info wiki.

The page Special:Version shows the installed mediawiki version and some extensions.

TOC

There is no TOC if there is no headline in the markup.

If there is one headline, then there is a TOC (MW default is having a TOC only for pages with at least 3(?) headlines) and the TOC is placed before any content (MW default is placing it directly before the first headline).

In LocalSettings.php

$wgHooks['InternalParseBeforeLinks'][] = 'ForceTocOnEveryPage_renderForceToc';
 
function ForceTocOnEveryPage_renderForceToc( &$parser, &$text ) {
        global $mediaWiki;
        if( !isset($mediaWiki) ) return true;
        if( $parser->getTitle()->getNamespace() != 0 ) return true;
        $text = "__TOC__\n".$text;
        return true;
}

Date and time format

???
//defined in messagesEn.php
//$defaultDateFormat = 'ISO 8601';

wgCapitalLinks

• http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCapitalLinks

Has been set to false since the beginning of the wiki.

On 2013-06-13 the setting has been removed and page titles in links are now in sentence case. One can now write in English orthography:

• Nice is the sentence case.
• Sentence case is nice.

and both instances of "sentence case" link to "Sentence case".
