This page is for proposals and requests for technical changes to the Official Wiki. This includes changes to the configuration of the MediaWiki software. To add your request, please create a new section on the talk page. |
Summary of requests: software enhancements
Two-factor authentication
Extension:OATHAuth is an extension that adds the functionality of two-factor authentication to the Wiki. Would be a nice touch to security and to keep up with the times. Using it would remain optional and nothing would change for the users unless they choose to enable it themselves (disabled by default), so we won't see another Flow-talkpage-bad-please-remove situation here.

Dark mode
Dark mode extension for a softer look on the eyes. I personally use an extension already because I can't stand editing and when the page reloads and flashbangs me. It's an optional button and you scan switch which elements will be dark and which won't. Might cause trouble with images with 1px borders though.

Auto add "update trans" template
I find few translators have the habit of updating their works. And I have told Chinese regulars to use Watchlist well for updating, however, it seems most of them won't listen.
Let me stress the importance of updating translation here: English pages, or should I say, orginal pages may be updated by anyone at anytime, and the translation sub pages won't update themselves. For those translators who work here frequently, maintaining the timeliness of translated pages is as important as creating new ones.
I have been thinking about this for 2 days, although it's possible to track the newest versions by using Watchlist (while many translators have yet to do so), searching for other pages which need updating could be very time consuming. We already have "update trans" template for this, but it's a fact that many outdated pages haven't been marked for it.
So, my request is whether if we can have a bot to add "update trans" template automatically based on difference between the last editing dates of the original pages and the translation pages, which would make it eaiser to find outdated translation pages? The difference could be set to half a year or other value.
I know that this change will spam our Wiki, but as long as it can attract translators' attention to updating, it will be worthy.

AcceptedUpgrades1.16.0Could we update to MediaWiki version 1.16.0, please? It contains a number of fixes and also, the new Vector skin which should help with usability. Thanks. – Smashman (talk) 12:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
1.20.5TF Wiki's installation at the moment is at 1.15.4, which is a little behind – the latest stable release is 1.16.5 (see also release notes). Note that this release branch appears to have some issues regarding HTML titles not functioning properly (

More file formatsSome projects such as the Weapon Demonstration project may benefit from other file types for upload, such as
Extensions (seb26)A few suggestions regarding extensions on the wiki:
Installed SimpleAntiSpam and SpamBlacklist as an effort to reduce spam. -RJ 13:09, 31 May 2013 (PDT)
Semantic MediaWikiSemantic MediaWiki (on MediaWiki.org) is an elaborate but well known, documented and supported extension that will allow us to have a central location for weapon damage values (and other stats). Defining a property and value for weapon base damage, such as [[ammo loaded::6]] for the Scattergun, will allow us to query that value on other pages. This will primarily increase the accuracy of such values and remove the need to update the values on multiple pages when patches hit, and secondarily assist in outside websites in parsing the information contained in the wiki. In approaching the issue of increasing our data accuracy, this seemed like the best solution rather than using some sort of template/pseudo-namespace or the like to serve as a central space for these values. -- Pilk (talk) 09:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC) Group PermissionsGroupPermissions will remove reliance on Valve to modify user group permissions. A couple of changes to user group rights are wanted but will require experimentation so allowing us to do it at our leisure would be the best solution. -- Pilk (talk) 10:32, 18 September 2010 (UTC) File Size LimitThe current file size limit is making it difficult to get ultra high-res images on the Wiki, which means file quality generally has to be compromised to get them on the Wiki at all. It's currently set at 2 MB; if this could be increased to 5 MB, that would be incredibly helpful. -- En Ex (talk) 05:55, 13 October 2010 (UTC) StructuredDiscussionsmediawikiwiki:Extension:StructuredDiscussions would be a better, less messy discussion system. Especially because it lets people watchlis specific topic instead of the entire talk page. —CreativeC (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2019 (UTC) Just the other day, Gabrielwoj was complaining about what a pain it is to try to keep up with all of the (English) discussions. M I K A D O 282 oOOOOo oo oo (talk) (Help Wanted!) 00:34, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
@Mikado282 We discussed it on fr.wp and it may be the fact that newcomers are no longer computer-enthusiasts; they comes after the Internet’s democratization and are used to light and user-friendly UI. I really think this the problem -CreativeC (talk) 19:08, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
I've set this up! It'll only kick on for new talk pages however... might have to put some thought into archiving existing talk pages, thoughts? -RJ 07:53, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
@RJ see mediawikiwiki:Extension:StructuredDiscussions#Migrating_existing_pages:
Thanksmediawikiwiki:Extension:Thanks lef people thank others editions from page history. Great to spread the Wikilove ! —CreativeC (talk) 05:51, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Also done! A "thank" button now shows up on history pages :) Would be nice if it shows up on recent changes, but it doesn't seem to do that 🤷♂️ -RJ 08:12, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
RejectedBelow is a list of the denied technical requests. Use of WebAPIThrough an extension such as External Data, we can make use of the Steam WebAPI. This will hopefully allow us to automate to a certain degree:
Quick SearchAny chance of enabling quick search? Would make finding stuff much easier. -Shine[] 21:00, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
