[Freeciv-Dev] [task #7257] Find a new home for the wiki
Follow-up Comment #4, task #7257 (project freeciv): It's been a week now and Wikia still haven't responded to the request for a database dump. :( Anyhow, in the meantime I tried importing two random articles which was - although the first try resulted in an obscure error - successful with the full revision history retained. It should be noted though that the SF instance of MediaWiki doesn't have all of the features/extensions of Wikia, support for the timeline tag f.e. It should be mentioned that there's one significant drawback of having the wiki on SF: they put a massive ad banner at the top of the page pushing all contents far down. First I thought it was possible to somehow hide or move it somewhere else through some configuration option (since it's so hideously ugly), but this does not seem to be the case. All other hosted wikis I've found so far all display this banner. Unlike Wikia, though, SF doesn't seem to be messing with the actual article contents which is a pro. It's still pretty bad though. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7257 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Update of task #7257 (project freeciv): Status:None = In Progress ___ Follow-up Comment #3: We have a MediaWiki instance running on SourceForge. I was going to try and import the pages from the Wikia wikis there. Unfortunately, Wikia does no longer offer regular database dump files for each wiki for download. Instead, they allow a user to 'request' a dump file once a week. I've requested one now. Let's see what happens. For the record, SourceForge and Wikia are running different versions of MediaWiki: 1.15.1 and 1.16.5 respectively. Hoping this won't affect the process... ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7257 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Update of task #7257 (project freeciv): Priority: 5 - Normal = 7 - High ___ Follow-up Comment #1: Ok raising the prio for this - Wikia has started embedding contextual popup ads in our pages again, the kind that turns a specific word in a page into a green underlined link that triggers a popup when hovered. They used to do this extensively back in November last year which is when I first raised this ticket. But then the ads disappeared again for a long time, until recently obviously. Examples are 'data' in http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Events_Tutorial and 'server' in http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/NEWS-2.2.6 ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7257 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #2, task #7257 (project freeciv): I don't see them. IME you get a lot less ads and clutter when you're logged in -- the experience for wiki maintainers isn't half as bad as it is for powerless users. That's presumably deliberate... But that doesn't seem to be the thing here -- I don't see 'em even if I log out of Wikia. Anyway, yes, if anyone has any better suggestions, suggest away... ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/task/?7257 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

AFAIK sourceforge allows hosting per project Wikis using MediaWiki. However I propose not to host the Wiki on the same service as the rest. Having single points of failure is never nice.

Sourceforge is currently one of the download mirrors, together with download.gna.org. Apart from this, I don't think we're currently using Sourceforge for any other hosting.
