It'd probably be a good idea to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.16.'''2''' instead of 1.16.'''0''' since the former's the newest version of MediaWiki as of now. ;-) --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] 12:41, 10 April 2011 (PDT)

Great to see an upgrade of MediaWiki, 1.10 was getting old. 1.10 to 1.16 seems quite a big jump, good luck with that :) As for the semantic thing, I've always wondered how using it felt like, so it will be nice to have it here. As for ComfirmEdit, I found that QuestyCaptchas are very efficient, super-easy to install (doesn't require TeX or Python things), and Google-free (unlike ReCaptcha).

In other words the hover menus don't start at the top level. They start at the next level down. I don't know if an extension is being used. The Special:Version page is blank:

I'd suggest installing SimpleAntiSpam extension, too; it's a simple extension that catches plenty of stupid spambots. It's also used on all Wikimedia Foundation sites.

It'd probably be a good idea to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.16.2 instead of 1.16.0 since the former's the newest version of MediaWiki as of now. ;-) --Jack Phoenix 12:41, 10 April 2011 (PDT)

Vector sidebar and nested site navigation[edit]

I suggest installing Extension:CSS MenuSidebar. See Extension talk:CSS MenuSidebar#MediaWiki version 1.16.x for 1.16.x version.

See the nested hover menus in the sidebar on the Vector skin on the ACC Wiki:
