Suggestion for Admin.

Scheduled maintenance [DONE]

Hi Admin,
MediaWiki version installed on this wiki is quite outdated (last update occurred in 2011), so we'd need a software update and a periodic scheduled maintenance every six months or less (not more than that).

About the current version installed, its End of Life occurred in June 2012 (almost two years ago); since we don't want this wiki to get constantly upgraded, we suggest to upgrade to Long Term Support versions which have longer life span.
Last LTS release is 1.19 which has EOL in May 2015; in about two monts 1.23 LTS will be out.
Because of the fact that wiki freezes to blank pages quite often, we immediately need the update to 1.19 LTS release and on next scheduled maintenance the update to 1.23 LTS.

Herp derp.

MediaWiki addons

Grzechooo, would you mind to list add-ons required to properly manage a wiki that still aren't installed here?

Here is a list of MediaWiki extensions that will grant Wiki Administration a wider maintenance power on wiki.
Before the list, I want to report two fundamental extensions that must be installed: FileManager and Configure; along with these two extensions, we absolutely need the oversight core feature to be enabled.
Here is the list:

• Wiki Editor, advanced editor;
• Lingo, abbreviation glossary;
• Group Portal, defines different custom homepages for each group;
• Nuke, allows sysops to massdelete pages;
• Thanks, adds a 'thank' link in edit history of a page;
• sudo, allows users with 'sudo' right to login in other profiles;
• Survey, survey!

UberEditor group and rights

We grant some editors the Uber editor title for their efforts into improving wiki; however, a mere title isn't enough: we need them to be able to actually do stuff like editing half-protected pages or renaming/moving files etc. So, can you create the uber group with the properties we'll enlist here?
--Yamisuke «WANNA FIGHT?!» 12:45, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

here is the list of rights uber group should be granted with:

• rollback
• movefile
• autoconfirmed
• patrol
• autopatrol
• reupload
• browsearchive
• upload_by_url
• deletedhistory
• deletedtext
• suppressredirect
• unwatchedpages

While we're at the uber group, I want the following configuration changes pertaining to the group:

$wgRestrictionTypes[] = "uber";
$wgGroupPermissions["uber"]["uber"] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions["sysop"]["uber"] = true;

What this does: adds an option for sysops to lock pages for uber editors -- Grzechooo ^{drop a line} 15:02, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
