== Special Pages ==
== Backups ==
Personal backups of specific pages or groups of pages can be made by going to [[:Special:Export]], in the large text box you can enter an article/page title on each line. In general it is best to leave the "Include only the current revision" box checked, especially if you are exporting more than one page. Every single edit that is made saves a complete version of the page, so a page with many edits can be very large to export. And since the page would be reverted to the last backup, most of the history would already be preserved. [[Special:Import|Importing]] a page requires [[Sysop]] status, so you may need provide the copy to an admin and have them upload it for you should the need arise.


== Appearance ==
Page dumps are made about once a week and are downloadable at the bottom of [[:Special:Statistics]].
=== Site Logo ===


=== Sidebar ===
== Image Licenses ==
When a user uploads an image a number of licensing options are available via a dropdown box. The options available are controlled via the system message page [[MediaWiki:Licenses]].


=== Drop Down Navigation Menus ===
The text inserted for each option is a license specific template, these can be found in [[:Category:Image Copyright Tags]].
This mechanism takes advantage of the [[Mediawiki:Sitenotice]] message page to display a drop down menu navigation bar on all pages. The individual menu lists are on template pages and are limited to 3 deep:
* [[Template:Drop Down:Quests]]
* [[Template:Drop Down:Patches]]
* [[Template:Drop Down:Items]]
* [[Template:Drop Down:Locations]]
* [[Template:Drop Down:Lore]]
* [[Template:Drop Down:Help]]


The bar is placed on the right side to avoid causing the menus to pop when going to click on the commonly used page tabs (and is offset using margin to allow the drop down menu of the right-most item to not bleed off the page). Example of code placed on the sitenotice page:
== Appearance ==
 
=== Site Logo ===
<pre style="width:auto; overflow:auto">
The image that is displayed in the upper left and links to the homepage can be set as an url for $wgLogo in the LocalSettings.php file. For example:
<ul id="sitenotice_nav" style="list-style-type: none; float:right; list-style-image:
<pre>
none;-moz-border-radius-topright: 1em;-moz-border-radius-topleft: 1em;
$wgLogo = "http://asheron.info/~asheron/images/Site_Logo_Padula.png";
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 1em; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 1em;
background:#f0f0f0;margin:7px 60px -2px -2px;padding:0;">
<li>Quests{{Drop Down:Quests}}</li>
<li>Patches{{Drop Down:Patches}}</li>
<li>Items{{Drop Down:Items}}</li>
<li>Locations{{Drop Down:Locations}}</li>
<li>Lore{{Drop Down:Lore}}</li>
<li>Help{{Drop Down:Help}}</li>
</ul>
</pre>
</pre>


The following code is placed on the [[Mediawiki:Common.css]] page:
You can also replace the file wiki.png with the image you wish to use (same name) located in /skins/common/images. However this file is replaced each time the mediawiki software is updated and will need to be replaced with the desired file again each time.

Wiki Customizations

Documentation of tweaks and customizations made to ACC Wiki that differ from a default installation of the Mediawiki Software with special emphasis on changes that are either not documented or poorly documented elsewhere and would be difficult to reproduce without significant research or experimentation.

Extensions

  • Autoincrement - A variable hook that adds an autoincrementing variable, {{AUTOINCREMENT}}.
  • CategoryTree - Displays a collapsable tree for navigating categories/subcategories/articles. See How To Use Category Trees.
  • Cite - Basic foot note functionality. See How To Make Footnotes.
  • ParserFunctions - A set of logical and arithmetic expressions.
  • ReplaceText - Site wide text find and replace, in many cases changes cannot be undone so great care must be exercised. Restricted to Bot accounts. Contact a bot owner to request a job run. The extension has been modified to force the bot flag be respected, details are here.
  • Variables - Limited use of variables within templates.
  • YouTube extension - Allows embedded YouTube videos (along with other formats). Usage details can be found here.

Message and Special Pages

For a complete list (and defaults for modified pages) see Special:AllMessages. The list is very long, click the "Show only modified" button to filter the messages and display only those that have been modified and differ from the defaults.

Backups

Personal backups of specific pages or groups of pages can be made by going to Special:Export, in the large text box you can enter an article/page title on each line. In general it is best to leave the "Include only the current revision" box checked, especially if you are exporting more than one page. Every single edit that is made saves a complete version of the page, so a page with many edits can be very large to export. And since the page would be reverted to the last backup, most of the history would already be preserved. Importing a page requires Sysop status, so you may need provide the copy to an admin and have them upload it for you should the need arise.

Page dumps are made about once a week and are downloadable at the bottom of Special:Statistics.

Image Licenses

When a user uploads an image a number of licensing options are available via a dropdown box. The options available are controlled via the system message page MediaWiki:Licenses.

The text inserted for each option is a license specific template, these can be found in Category:Image Copyright Tags.

Appearance

The image that is displayed in the upper left and links to the homepage can be set as an url for $wgLogo in the LocalSettings.php file. For example: 

$wgLogo = "http://asheron.info/~asheron/images/Site_Logo_Padula.png";

You can also replace the file wiki.png with the image you wish to use (same name) located in /skins/common/images. However this file is replaced each time the mediawiki software is updated and will need to be replaced with the desired file again each time.

Sidebar

The sidebar (links on the left) can be edited at Mediawiki:Sidebar for the monobook skin and at MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar for the monaco (default) skin. Some options, like the links in the toolbox, are context sensitive and will change depending on the nature of each particular page.
