Request for MediaWiki 1.19[edit]
- Type
- MediaWiki extensions
- Reason for request
- Enable additional extensions from the Semantic Bundle for additional functionality.
- What else uses it
- Many other gaming wikis, including GuildWiki, use different sets of these extensions
- Possible pitfalls
- Low risk of degraded performance; security of widgets
| Extension | Priority | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Semantic Forms | High | Provides the #arraymap parser function, allowing us to assign multi-valued parameters in templates. This has many uses throughout the wiki. In general, Semantic Forms provide a form-based interface to semantic templates that makes editing much simpler for new users. The form-based approach also provides some data validation functionality, which reduces the maintenance load on the rest of the community. |
| Semantic Forms Inputs | Medium | Provides additional input types and data validation for Semantic Forms. |
| Widgets | Medium | Allows creation of Widget: pages with raw HTML/JS code (restricted to sysops) that can be embedded into other pages like templates. |
| Semantic Result Formats | Medium | Enables additional output formats for SMW #ask queries. The most useful to us would be the math formats (especially max/min and sum), although I'm sure the community could come up with interesting ways to use some of the other formats. |
| Maps/Semantic Maps | Medium | Enables a map-based output format for displaying semantic coordinate data. This would allow us to build interactive maps of in-game features. |
| Semantic Drilldown | Low | Provides a hierarchical tree-based interface for browsing the wiki based on semantic data. |
