Wiki:Maintenance

From Vermont Area Group of Unix Enthusiasts

These are notes on the current MediaWiki installation.

• Special:Version -- see what version is installed. We've ever used versions 1.5.7, 1.6.12 and 1.15.1.

This MediaWiki software was distributed under version 2 of the GNU General Public License. Since you did not receive this software, you are not granted any rights under it. However, here are the modifications made to the software.

• Wiki:Changes to Monobook skin
• Wiki:LocalSettings.php -- documenting the local configuration of MediaWiki.
• Wiki:Changes to database -- keep track of modifications to the installed data set.
• Wiki:Graphics -- images that are used on the site.
• Wiki:Changes to search -- changes to the search engine.
• Wiki:Changes to formatting rules
• Wiki:Extensions -- Listing of what extensions are used.

The patches found in these sections have any tabs converted to spaces. Use the unexpand command that comes with GNU coreutils to untabify things.

For a TODO list, see the discussion page for this article.
