Editing the UI
- Edit the sidebar
- Mediawiki:Sidebar
- Edit the site notice (the text displayed above the content of every page)
- Mediawiki:Sitenotice
- The above pages, and more, for modifying the layout and UI content
- mw:Category:Interface_messages
[[x2:partners]]For more information, see mw:Help:Interwiki
- Add custom HTML to the template
- Edit VectorTemplate::execute() in public_html/skins/Vector.php (a backup of this skin has been made in Backup/Vector, in case anything should go wrong). The body begins after these lines:
// Output HTML Page
$this->html( 'headelement' );
User Management
The following two plugins are enabled for user management:
These special pages are of use:
Miscellaneous
- Edit global CSS for all pages
- MediaWiki:Common.css
- Change the syntax highlighting CSS
- MediaWiki:Geshi.css
- Purging a cached page (i.e. if the sidebar or site notice is out of date)
- Add "&action=purge" to the end of the page's url and re-request the page.
- Globally purging all cached pages and objects (more useful but more involved)
- Log into the server via SSH and run clearCache.sh; that should change the modification time on LocalSettings.php, which will, due how the dynamic $wgCacheEpoch variable is set, invalidate all cached pages and thus regenerate them. Said variable's declaration is at the end of the file:
-
$wgCacheEpoch = gmdate( 'YmdHis', @filemtime( __FILE__ ) );
- Create a URL shorthand for linking to another site
- For example, one has been made for www.x2engine.com so that the "About X2Engine" in the footer could be made a link to the main X2Engine site:
-
INSERT INTO interwiki (iw_prefix, iw_url, iw_local, iw_trans) VALUES ("x2", "http://www.x2engine.com/$1", 1, 0);
- That interwiki entry transforms (for example) the code
[[x2:partners/|About X2Engine]]
into<a href="http://www.x2engine.com/partners/">About X2Engine</a>
