This page describes what is on the testing wiki, what will need to be moved over when the official mecha wiki comes online.

I am able to move everything over on the site-side (e.g. home page, css, templates etc). Most settings are applied during the setup script ran in the web browser when installing MediaWiki.

Personally I'd recommend using Docker (Docker Compose) to install MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Docker/Docker_Hub

To import pages, etc, I would need the following permissions:

sysop (allows editing pages, protect pages, delete pages, etc)
interface-admin (allows editing css and javascript)
bureaucrat (Allows granting sysop to other users or other permissions - this one isn't really needed)

To grant these for a user go to the special page Special:UserRights on the wiki installation.

Wiki Security

I have added the FlaggedRevs extension to the extension list (with the required configuration along with it) and it lets users with the sysop permission accept changes to then be reflected on the site. But when a sysop edits, those changes aren't required to be reviewed. This will stop vandalism of the wiki.

I would also then protect high-traffic pages such as the templates AND the main page.

Wiki Templates

I can easily import these later on, just the basics need to be set up first.

Template:MechaButton (and Template:MechaButton/docs)
- Template:MechaButtons (and Template:MechaButtons/docs) ROW OF MechaButton

Theme (aka Skin)

LocalSettings.php

This is a very important part of the wiki. It's where the config for the wiki goes.

1. Remove all wfLoadSkin and add this one: wfLoadSkin( 'Citizen' ); 2. Set wgDefaultSkin to "Citizen" 3. Add the following load extensions for the wiki:

wfLoadExtension( 'TemplateStyles' );
wfLoadExtension( 'ParserFunctions' );
wfLoadExtension( 'SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi' );
wfLoadExtension( 'Cite' );
wfLoadExtension( 'CodeEditor' );
wfLoadExtension( 'Scribunto' );
wfLoadExtension( 'TemplateData' );
wfLoadExtension( 'WikiEditor' );
wfLoadExtension( 'PageImages' );
wfLoadExtension( 'TextExtracts' );
wfLoadExtension( 'InputBox' );
wfLoadExtension( 'CategoryTree' );
wfLoadExtension( 'ConfirmEdit' );
wfLoadExtension( 'Interwiki' );
wfLoadExtension( 'HTMLTags' );
wfLoadExtension( 'FlaggedRevs' );

# Make Flagged Revisions Require Approvals
$wgFlaggedRevsDraftVersion = true;
$wgFlaggedRevsAutopromote = false;

# Only require approval in main namespace and templates (NOT user pages)
$wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces = [ NS_MAIN ];
$wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces = [ NS_MAIN, NS_TEMPLATE ];

# Site Permissions (give users perms to edit, sysops to review them)
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['review'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['autoreview'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['user']['autoreview'] = false;

3. Add the following variable at the bottom:

# Allow SVG MIME type
$wgTrustedMediaFormats[] = 'image/svg+xml';
$wgAllowExternalImages = true;

4. Update $wgLogos to be the following

$wgLogos = [
	'1x' => "https://mecha.so/favicon/favicon.ico",
	'icon' => "https://mecha.so/favicon/favicon.ico",
];
