== Admin suggestions == '''When a task is complete move it to the COMPLETED section at the bottom of the page''' * Review/update the [[MEpedia:Admin guide]] to keep track of what a new admin needs to know. Consider making the Admin guide protected so that only admins can edit it. Also review/protect [[MEpedia:Developer guide]]. (Requested by Pyrrhus April 2019) * Add [[Special:Interwiki]] shortcuts for the staging server (called staging) and pmc - which will be similar to the pubmed one but using the PMC path, this would allow links like [[pmc:1234567]] to go to PMC1234567 ===In 2020=== * [https://staging.me-pedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Notjusttired test plan] and [[#Snag list]] * IN PROGRESS: Extensions for MediaWiki 1.39 to check/test **Any extension with a “compatibility policy” of “release branches” must be updated with any new version of MediaWiki. These include, Citoid, Thanks, DiscussionThreading (if in use?), OneColumnAllPages, DynamicPageList, Lingo, [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SmiteSpam SmiteSpam], <s>AddThis</s>, Disambiguator, DismissableSiteNotice, NewUserMessage, GeoData, Graph, PageNotice, Popups (Peviews), WikimediaMessages, [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:QuestyCaptcha QuestyCaptcha]<s>StructuredDiscussions, PageTriage,</s> (AbuseFilter, CategoryTree, Cite, CodeEditor, InputBox, Interwiki, PageImages, ParserFunctions, RenameUser, Scribunto, SyntaxHighlight, TextExtracts, VisualEditor, WikiEditor updates not needed - ''' comes with MW 1.39+). AddThis is a defunct service. **Monobook skin update (unless we decide to disable it) **We should also update the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters HitCounters] extension to resolve some minor bugs including the Popular Pages link being in German. *The Linux package [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid Parsoid] must also be updated every time VisualEditor is updated. *We should also update the DismissableSiteNotice extension so that the dismissals last longer than a week. *We should also update the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Form Form] extension to get security updates. *SecureLinkFixer and TemplateData are bundled. They force https on your wiki, and add a tag and an api to allow editors to specify how templates should be invoked. **The following PHP libraries are required for MW1.35: ctype, dom, fileinfo, iconv, json, mbstring, xml **[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.35 other requirements] - MySQL version doesn't need updating **Changes can be tested on the staging server before being implemented on the production server. See [[MEpedia:Developer guide]]. ( ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] September 29, 2020) * In year 2020, we will need to do “performance tuning” of the MySQL(MariaDB) database and “performance tuning” of the MediaWiki software as described in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Performance_tuning (Added by Pyrrhus May, 2019) ===1.39 upgrade tasks done and checked=== * Upgraded to MW1.39, which is a future long-term support release. The new version of MediaWiki software includes important security fixes. The new versions of the extensions include important fixes and improvements. (Added by Pyrrhus, May 2019) (I suggest doing this later in the year to get a newer version, but to update compatible extensions / skins etc to the newest versions that work with our existing MW version early in the year - Notjusttired, Aug 2019). **Extensions tested: Echo, Gadgets, Replace Text (now in core) **Skins tested: Timeless (bugs T197057, T287132, T182389 layout mobile patches available), Vector-2022, Vector (legacy) *PHP 7.4.33 now in use- update to at least version '''PHP 7.3.19 for MediaWiki 1.35''' *MediaWiki 1.39 bundled the VisualEditor extension. It will not be necessary to setup a seperate instance of Parsoid, as it is built into MediaWiki core. *Pivot skin - may no longer be supported by creator - upgraded to https://github.com/Hutchy68/pivot v2.3.0) and include any MW 1.35 to 1.39 fixes - needs css changes for echo notifications, but no skin updates since 2020, need to check bug reports - may be better to configure newly installed Chameleon to replace Pivot ::([[User:Notjusttired]] Jun 2023)
