Forum:MediaWiki 1.14 ToDo list

Wiki will soon be upgrading all of wiki to MediaWiki 1.14. As such there is a bit of a todo list in consideration of the new features being added:
 * (sysops) Hunt through the list of all the images tagged with . MediaWiki 1.14 finally introduces the ability to move (ie: rename) a file without resorting to re-uploading. This feature though is only made available to sysops.
 * (me) Fix MediaWiki:Pagetitle. Awhile ago Wikia put parserfunctions into that message for a conditional on the mainpage. MW introduced MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage which serves that purpose. So we should remove the parserfunctions when upgraded.
 * use |link= instead of ImageMap. The Image: tag now has a |link= parameter to it. So in all of the titleicons and whatnot where we use an imagemap we can replace those with a normal image tag using a link.

 * So when moving an image, what is preferable in regards to the original file name? Delete it? Redirect it to the new name? Redirect it and protect it to make sure it can't be used again? ~SnapperTo 18:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirects are created automatically unless you uncheck the checkbox. Best to let mw create the redirect. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Apr 22, 2009 @ 20:22 (UTC)


 * But would a redirect prevent a new file from being uploaded to the same name? ~SnapperTo 03:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know that specifically. It should at the very least shove one of those messages in the user's face about an image already existing I think. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Apr 23, 2009 @ 16:20 (UTC)
