currently working

email notification when a page gets edited by other people

one just needs to be *watching* the page.

Interwiki

uploading

seems to try uploading to the wrong place.

drawing graphs

graphviz (working, but can't control node positioning. Use neato instead of dot?)

interactive viewers

See the sandbox.

math (LaTeXMathML works; texvc works)

see sandbox#math

footnotes

I had to copy 2 templates from Wikipedia (i.e. create new template pages on this wiki): Template:Ref and Template:Note

The disadvantage is this way of doing footnotes, the footnotes are not edited in-line (unlike LaTeX). See Help:Footnotes

in-line footnotes with Cite.php

it should override the existing < ref > tag (currently used as part of the ref-note footnote system)

Yammer yammer yammer.<ref name=smith2000>Smith wrote the definitive book on   yammering.^[1]
</ref>Yammer yammer yammer.<ref name=smith2000/>
...
==References==
<References/>
. ..
==Bibliography==
*^ , Smith 2000, "A book about yammering".

Citations

BibWiki, for BibTeX (installed)

see Sandbox#citations

user manual

fix citation style: must be different from footnotes

Cite extension (not installed)

Cite extension disadvantage: just like with Template:Note (see "footnotes" above), the full reference must be in-line.

enable subpages

See https://wiki.vislab.usyd.edu.au/moinwiki/MediaWiki

pretty edit URLs

in-line comments / annotation?

Editors (whether Users or anonymous) should be able to leave comments at a specific location on the article (e.g. here: note how each paragraph has a balloon with the # of comments there). They could show up in the margins of the article, in red or some other color. Seeing these comments would be optional (e.g. turn off and off via JavaScript).

SOCS or CommentPress

ArticleComments anyone can add comments; but not exactly what I'd call "in-line".

sensitive information

mediawikiwiki:Manual:User_rights. For defining user groups, see Special:Userrights.

Can I define individual articles to be private, or semi-private?

mediawikiwiki:Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions

By default, I want new articles to be public (i.e. a blacklist approach).

This is a whitelist approach. This is a blacklist approach.

blacklist

Install mediawikiwiki:Extension:Blacklist

To block viewing for normal users, but not sysops, I could do something like this:

$wgBlacklistOps["useRegex"] = true;
$wgWhitelist['sysop']['read'] = $wgBlacklist['*']['read'] = array("^Private:*$");

Group-Based Access Control

mediawikiwiki:Extension:Group_Based_Access_Control

use private/protected namespaces

It seems to be easy to create a new namespace and set its permissions:

mediawikiwiki:Simple namespaces is an extension for creating namespaces without messing with MySQL.
mediawikiwiki:Extension:NamespacePermissions is an extension for setting namespace permissions without messing with MySQL.

WARNING: the above is not enough! This page lists patches needed to prevent exploits, e.g. searching, transclusion, AllPages, WhatLinksHere, etc. See mediawikiwiki:Security issues with authorization extensions

create a private wiki, and use interwiki

This option seems safer, but less attractive.

ParserFunctions extension

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23ifeq:

lets you use macro-y things like #ifeq

essential for many copying most Wikipedia templates (boxes, etc)

OpenID

mediawikiwiki:Extension:OpenID

unnumbered sections

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Making_a_heading_that_does_not_show_up_in_ToC

currently, we need to do something like:

< font size="5" >

show section numbers on the section headings

collapsible tables

hide/show e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Canadian_currency_and_coinage

extension: show list of subpages

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Printshowall.js?match=zh ?

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList2

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList3

display carriage returns inside a nowiki tag

because having to use br tags is annoying.

See the page Markov_Chains_and_partial_views/Code

not even implemented

table view

make a JavaScript script to display only desired columns of a table (user can check which columns they wish to see)

invent a syntax so that the script knows which tables to enable this on

interactive tree view

use existing JavaScript to display file-trees

interwiki linking: alternative renames

[-:lattice_(order) lattice]

should be a link to wikipedia.

convert wikitext to LaTeX, PDF

Have templates Template:ConvertLatex, Template:ConvertPDF that display a buttons to do this.
