New feature/extension: Custom namespace tabs
by Paul Selitskas 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi, guys. I've recently written an extension[1] which allows to easily inject custom tabs into the standard Subject-Talk scheme (with some fancy toys like tabs re-arranging). This is the feature that is currently implemented on some Wikinews and Wiktionary projects via JavaScript. Prior discussion took place at Bugzilla and evolved into the RfC[2] (look for Bugzilla link there). The coding is quite done (see [1]), but one change is on review in Gerrit[3] (introduces same namespace tabs for Wiktionary + code redesign); it lacks attention so it hasn't been merged yet. People at Wikinews and Wiktionary are commonly not against the new extension.[5][6] I sent an e-mail to Howie Fung, as it is suggested in "Writing an extension for deployment" manual on MediaWiki.org,[4] but I haven't received any response yet. I don't know what should I add here, so please could you take care of it? I'll be glad to answer your questions! -- [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NamespaceRelations [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Custom_inter-namespace_… [3] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/44335/ [4] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment [5] http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/technical#Opinions_tab:_e… [6] http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Grease_pit/2013/January#Citations_… -- З павагай, Павел Селіцкас/Pavel Selitskas Wizardist @ Wikimedia projects

Review: slides and a bunch of black icons
by Quim Gil 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

I finally started working on my FOSDEM presentation for this Sunday: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Byty3JbESp0aek1iWkV6SmZpMU0/edit (updated on a daily basis this week) Regardless of the title (catchy for the call for papers and the conference schedule) it is an intro to How to contribute to MediaWiki and Wikip/media tech tasks. It's not even an alpha, but in terms of design you can see there where I'm going. Feedback welcome. In terms of general design, I'm taking as reference https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design and subpages. Then I'm trying to recycle the consistency the presentation requires and use for the consistency we lack and we need at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute and related pages. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Icon_Set is all about black icons so I have been fishing at http://thenounproject.com/ Those icons will start identifying activities at mediawiki.org e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Weekly_goals Again, your opinion (and better alternatives) are welcome. PS: looking for an icon for the Mobile slide I came across http://thenounproject.com/noun/flying-saucer/#icon-No9877 by our beloved Heather. Hello there! :) PS2: but I was looking for something lighter so I ended up with http://thenounproject.com/noun/paper-plane/#icon-No3756 . In fact the icon for "Mobile" was the one that took me more time to find, by large. So many stereotypes but so limiting and deprecated by reality so fast. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

MediaWiki in all its beauty (not in mediawiki.org)
by Quim Gil 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Today I stumbled upon a couple of URLs leading to beautiful MediaWiki deployments: http://vimeo.com/57671929 as a showcase of http://www.seizam.com/ https://github.com/OSAS/strapping-mediawiki skin, seen in action at http://www.ovirt.org/ (via http://blogs.gnome.org/bolsh/2013/01/18/awesome-mediawiki-theme/ ) I have contacted both authors to see if some of that beauty could land in mediawiki.org as links, documentation, contributions... Then again, with landing pages like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skins I can see why we don't even attract those designers spending long hours making our software look and feel great. Anybody willing to step in and start working on a better landing surface for MediaWiki designers? It is a great opportunity for someone with good taste willing to start contributing. I can help. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil
