I've been asked to provide "sign-off" ability to the articles. I am
putting manuals and procedures into a wiki and the production manager
wants sales and tech people to sign off on each article signifying they
have read it and/or been trained on the procedures.
I have a template that can sort-off do that but I am really looking for
a clickable link on each article page that a user can click on and it
will then record that action as the user name and date/time. It could do
it in the Talk pages, as long as the action is recorded.
I would rather not require the users to edit the page.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,

I've noticed that parser tag extensions render twice when an article is saved from the edit page.
All I did was write a parser tag <foo> that runs error_log('foo').
It prints once when I hit <foo/> on a page, but twice when saving the page from the wiki editor.
Is there a way to prevent this double-running on save?
Even way for the extension itself to detect it's on the first (or second) run and suppress itself?
I have an extension that is heavyweight, making a SQL query to an external database,
and I don't want to run twice.
Thanks for any insights!

Hi,
I'm using Print.css to define a background image. Works fine with Safari: when I check 'Print background' the image is printed. On other browsers however (Firefox, Chrome, IE) nothing happens when I check 'Print background'.
I searched the internet about background printing in browsers and I really am out of ideas. Perhaps it is related to MediaWiki in some way? I'm not a css or php expert, so if you could help, please do!
Thanks! Ad

MediaWiki Upgrades and Extension Dependencies – Ideas for Improvement
Friday, December 13, 2013, 19:00 UTC
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20131213T19&p1=1440
Facilitators: Mark Hershberger and Markus Glaser.
Watch https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Meetings/2013-12-13 or
#wikimedia-dev IRC for URL details.
Upgrading MediaWiki is easy, upgrading a MediaWiki site using extensions
is not. Versioning extensions and aligning them with MediaWiki versions
is not done consistently. And how would you know which extension version
works for your slightly older MediaWiki, e.g. because you are using a
LTS version? The talk explores the various possiblities of remedy for
this issue. It'll cover:
* the current situation
* the question of how we version extensions
* the question of how we manage dependencies
* an idea of using our users' power to know what's working
* of course, a discussion
Technically, we'll touch issues of LTS versions, git tagging and
branching, Composer support, WikiApiary, usage statistics and crowd
certification.

Hello,
I would like to copy all of the files from Vector and then make changes in
them to create a new skin. There are directions for what I would like to do
here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning/Vector
However, I am concerned that with the Resource Loader, the above directions
won't work.
How should one go about cloning Vector with newer versions of Mediawiki?
Regarding why I don't want to make a subskin: Daniel Friesen has an
excellent tutorial that would be great if we didn't need to make changes in
the skin's PHP (
http://blog.redwerks.org/2012/02/28/mediawiki-subskin-tutorial/ ). I
imagine that to veteran developers, it may seem easier to make a subskin
and override various methods from Vector or use hooks to make changes. My
heart really sinks at the prospect of doing this. I have explored the files
in the Vector skin and I can't tell you how much easier it feels to just
edit a clone of those files. I'm perfectly happy to redo changes whenever
we upgrade. There won't be that many, after all.
