Due to software bug in the WikiIndex server installation and configuration which is causing a locking of the database on certain articles; which prevents [[edit]]ing, deletion, history merge, and many other activities, this sub-page contains the following articles and / or categories in need of attention, following the software / bugs fix. | |||
==Pages for deletion== | ==Pages for deletion== | ||
The following need deletion: | |||
*[[Arabsciencepedia]] — actual page [[Arab Sciencepedia]] | *[[Arabsciencepedia]] — actual page [[Arab Sciencepedia]] | ||
==Pages for editing== | |||
The following need editing (copy the following raw [[wikitext]], and paste it over the entire existing wikitext): | |||

'''MediaWiki''' ('''MW''') software is the {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} software package that runs this [[WikiIndex]] wiki site. Originally designed and developed for [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] in {{tag|FoundedIn2002|2002}} (though <u>not</u> the [[Nostalgia Wikipedia|original Wikipedia]] wiki engine from 2001 – that was the [[:Category:Perl|Perl]]-based [[:Category:UseMod Wiki|UseMod Wiki]]); MediaWiki is now used by the most active and [[WikisWithTheMostPages|largest wikis]], it is also used extensively, and exclusively by other {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) projects; along with many, many other independent [[:Category:All|wikis]], and commercial [[:Category:WikiFarm|wiki farms]]. | |||
The initial 'pre-version' (known as 'Phase II software' in Wikipedia circles) was created by [[Magnus Manske]], and used on all available Wikipedia versions from 25 January 2002. A 'Phase III software' became the first official MediaWiki, and was a substantial re-write by [[Lee Daniel Crocker]]; this was first used on the [[English Wikipedia]] on 20 July 2002. MediaWiki is compiled and written in {{tag|PHP}}, and is probably the most widely deployed wiki engine {{tag|software}}. Some would argue that a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] should be more simplistic, with fewer features; but MediaWikis' design <!--avoids many of the clutter / feature–creep problems that can appear in other mature wiki engines-->, and its success speaks for itself. MediaWiki has spawned many clones, or '[[:Category:Fork|forks]]', the most notable being [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]. MediaWiki is a highly developed, feature-rich software that is released for {{tag|free software|free}} under version 2 of the {{tag|GNU General Public License}} (GNU GPL v2), and requires either [[:Category:MySQL|MySQL 5.0.2+]], [[:Category:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]], or [[:Category:SQLite|SQLite]] for data storage. | |||
In December 2008, this fellow found [[Archive.org:20130121165457/http://cs.brown.edu/~pavlo/mediawiki|all open installs]] ([[Archive.org]] link) of the MediaWiki code. And until mid 2013, there used to be the [[Archive.org:20130508132829/http://MWusers.com/forums/forum.php|MediaWiki Users forums]] (Archive.org link). | |||

;''MediaWiki [[:Category:Wiki Size|size]] information | |||
:add <tt>/Special:Statistics</tt> at the end of the URL – eg. <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code> (non-English [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions will automatically convert this to actual language). Dependent on MW software version, there is a number called 'Content pages' or sometimes 'pages that are probably legitimate content pages' – use <u>that</u> lower number. Ignore the (often much larger) 'all pages in the wiki, including redirects' number. We can also [http://S23.org/wikistats/addwiki/ add MediaWiki site] listings to the [https://S23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php?sort=good_desc,total_desc&th=0&lines=1500 https://S23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php] system which tracks various wiki statistics. | |||
