MediaWiki Deployment Notes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:09, 5 February 2026

Great model:

TODO - consider splitting this into multiple pages based on what makes sense. Most of this will end up on a page like the IT

[ ] Demonstrate an SOP, test with visual editor, uploading images, etc
- [ ] If Kirstin thinks it will work, make SOP area that is limited in editing scope
[ ] Consider how to secure pages for editing, including approval workflows (list of approvers?)
[ ] Work on print stylesheet, including last edit date, QR code, last editor

Open-ended tasks

Figure out the best way to embed a map of the space. The following two ideas are competing:
- Use the ImageMap extension with some home brew import from a master map
  - TBD - mobile experience may be quite poor unless the image can be interactively zoomed.
- Consider a slippy map like Leaflet but with a custom CRS. We can pre-compile the tiles and serve them from the same domain as they will be small. Zoom level can be constrained.
  - This may have a better mobile experience
Deploy a dashboard that can display on a screen in the space, and make sure it is powered off when there would be no attention on it
- mockup at https://wiki.quincygarage.org/dashboard/index.html as of this writing

Semantic MediaWiki usage

The SMW plugin is used to collect metadata. For example, here is a list of everyone's projects:

	Foaf:nameA name for some thing or agent.	Working onthe name of a project that someone is working on.
Alex	Alex Hirzel	Quincy Garage

here is a link that gives the same as CSV

List of tools:


Central Machinery 39798 Bench Grinder
Eastwood Versa-Cut 60 Plasma Cutter
Lincoln Idealarc 250 Welder
Milwaukee Handheld Power Tools
Standard Modern 1340 Lathe
Troyke U-12 Rotary Table
Welding PPE

Handy scripts

For use in the shell, in /home/public/w:

php maintenance/runJobs.php

Quick links

Edit permissions for a wiki user (or view the list of all users)
Edit the sidebar
Edit the site-wide CSS stylesheet
Edit the QR code placed in the bottom right (note this is configured in LocalSettings.php)
