Hi Jack, if you wouldn't mind helping to figure out what this wiki needs, I can try to get it done. Best, [[MarkDilley]] | Hi Jack, if you wouldn't mind helping to figure out what this wiki needs, I can try to get it done. Best, [[MarkDilley]] | ||
:Hi Mark, thank you for your message. :-) | |||
:[[Special:Version]] says that WikiIndex is currently running MediaWiki 1.17.0, which has reached its end-of-life in this month; see the table on [[mw:Version lifecycle]] and the fancy timeline there for more information. So upgrading MediaWiki core from 1.17.0 to the latest stable, 1.19.1, would definitely be welcome. | |||
:In addition to that, it might be useful to upgrade some of the extensions; or it might be so that some of them even ''need'' to be upgraded to function correctly. For example, as of now, WikiIndex is running Semantic MediaWiki version 1.5.6 but according to the [http://semantic-mediawiki.org/ official Semantic MediaWiki home page], the latest version is 1.7.1. | |||
:Like I wrote on [[WikiIndex:AntiSpamMeasures#WikiIndex is being overwhelmed by spam bots]], some new anti-spam tools might also help; right now I'd recommend [[mw:Extension:SimpleAntiSpam]] and [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter]]; both extensions are used on the Wikimedia Foundation wikis, such as Wikipedia and related projects, so they should be stable enough. | |||
:Please let me know if you have any questions. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] 04:31, 29 June 2012 (PDT) | |||
