Header versus Extraneous Newline at the Top[edit]

Header should come first on every page

WikiSEO newline

Save Buttons[edit]

JavaScript (JS) version:

  • Save Continue Savecontinuebutton.png - easy
  • Save Changes [Missing Screenshot] - advanced editors

If you are not sure which button to use, the Save Changes is a good choice. Feel free to experiment with the Save Changes button and use it if it seems useful for you.

no-JavaScript (noJS) version:

  • Submit changesSubmitechangesbutton.png

A bit of potential confusion:
The button Submit changes is renamed to Save Changes when JS is enabled.

Pen Symbol - Syntax Highlighting[edit]

Pen Symbol

Enabling/Disabling syntax highlighting which is useful for editors.

With:

Pensymbole.png

Without

Pensymbole2.png

Symbol:

Pensymbole3.png

This is thanks to extension CodeMirror.

Syntax Highlighting vs Link Suggestions[edit]

When enabling syntax highlighting using the Pen Symbol, link suggestions (by extension LinkSuggest) will be broken. This is an upstream bug. Extension:CodeMirror incompatibility with, breaks Extension:LinkSuggest

So if the editor wishes to receive link suggestions, (temporarily) disable syntax highlighting using the Pen Symbol. When the editing task requires no link suggestions, enabling syntax highlighting might be useful. It is easy to switch from one mode to another.

Floppy Disc Restore Button[edit]

Floppy Disc Save Button

This feature requires JavaScript (JS).

Every time you press one of the following buttons:

  • Save Continue Savecontinuebutton.png
  • Save Changes

it will store the page edits in your browser local storage. To restore it press the Floppy Disk Restore Savebutton2.png button again.

Back to the Top Button[edit]

It is the arrow down button allow user to press on it and send the scrolling to top of the page immediately instead of scrolling up.

LinkSuggest vs CodeMirror[edit]

Unfortunately, Extension:CodeMirror breaks Extension:LinkSuggest.

Workaround: CodeMirror can be disabled by pressing the Codemirror-icon.png.

upstream bug reports:

Links[edit]

  • Default MediaWiki Link Creation
    • clearnet → automatically adding link to web archive
    • onion → no extraneous onion archive link
      • Syntax: 
        [http://www.w5j6stm77zs6652pgsij4awcjeel3eco7kvipheu6mtr623eyyehj4yd.onion Kicksecure Homepage]
      • Example: Kicksecure Homepage
    • link to web archive → no extraneous archive link
      • Syntax: 
        [https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.kicksecure.com this link]
      • Example: this link
  • Technical Background:
    • This is not based on any wiki template.
    • This is thanks to link-to-archive MediaWiki Extension.
    • The simple way for wiki editors to write most links.
  • clearnet + archive + onion
    • Syntax: 
      {{Archive_link|url=https://www.kicksecure.com|text=Kicksecure Homepage|onion=http://www.w5j6stm77zs6652pgsij4awcjeel3eco7kvipheu6mtr623eyyehj4yd.onion}}
    • Example: Kicksecure Homepage
  • clearnet + archive (No Onion)
    • Syntax: 
      {{Archive_link|url=https://www.kicksecure.com|text=Kicksecure Homepage}}
    • Example: Kicksecure Homepage
    • Same as Default MediaWiki Link Creation.
    • In this case, Default MediaWiki Link Creation might be simpler.
  • Archived Only - In case live version is permanently unavailable. 
    • {{Archive_link|url=https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.kicksecure.com|archive=copy|text=Kicksecure Homepage (Archived)}}
    • Example: Kicksecure Homepage (Archived)
  • No Archive - In case archived link would be too long, inappropriate. 
    • {{Archive_link|url=https://www.kicksecure.com|text=Kicksecure Homepage|archive=none}}
    • Example: Kicksecure Homepage
  • Technical Background:
    • This is not based on wiki template archive_link. (Source code documentation under Dev/mediawiki.)
    • No MediaWiki extension is involved.
    • This is for special links, i.e. links which might be archived only (no more clearnet version available), onion only (no clearnet version available) or for links which should not automatically add a link to the web archive in special places (header, footer) for stylistic reasons.
  • Kicksecure wiki link - (similar an example above, just easier to use than writing Kicksecure onion by hand)
  • Kicksecure website link - (similar an example above, just easier to use than writing Kicksecure onion by hand)
  • Archive_link Common Usage Mistakes:
    • Protocol handler http or https is required.
    • wrong: |onion={{QubesOS_onion}}
    • correct: |onion=http://{{QubesOS_onion}}
  • Twitter link
    • Syntax: 
      {{Twitter_link|link-without-domain-name|description}}
    • Preformatted Example: 
      {{Twitter_link|/moxie/status/1337434126186553345|was debunked by Moxie Marlinspike}}
    • Live Example: was debunked by Moxie Marlinspike (Nitter)

CodeSelect with pipes[edit]

Use 

{{!}}

rather than 

|

Or simply have a look at the mediawiki markup for the following example.

Exec=cat file | grep something

related: CodeSelect implementation source code documentation

pre tag with white spaces[edit]

Try making the opening tag 

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
...

instead of normal pre>.

Example with pre-wrap: 

   leading white space example

Example without pre-wrap: 

   leading white space example

Seems currently not required with the mediawiki skin used at time of writing.

There are a number of other wrapping/whitespace options if that doesn't work for what you need.

pre tags with variables[edit]

Syntax: 

<div class="pre">

</div>

Syntax example: 

<div class="pre">{{project name long}} <code>{{VersionNew}}</code></div>

Live example:

Kicksecure ™ 16.0.5.3

Scrollable Tables[edit]

To make tables scrollable on mobile, the table needs to be wrapped into: 

<div class="scroll-table">

</div>

Examples:

JavaScript vs no-JavaScript[edit]

Syntax example: 

<div class="show-for-nojs-only">
NoScript version: Text is only show when JavaScript is not active
</div>

<div class="show-for-js-only">
JavaScript version: Text is only show when JavaScript is active
</div>

Live test:

NoScript version: Text is only show when JavaScript is not active

JavaScript version: Text is only show when JavaScript is active

Mini Navigation[edit]

Example syntax: 

<div class="mininav">
* [[Documentation]]
* [[FAQ]]
* [[Support]]
* [[Advanced Documentation]]
</div>

Live example:

Live Wiki Pages Examples:

Thumbnails[edit]

  • thunbnail including link but without thubnail enlarge button.
    • example:

External Redirects Documentation[edit]

Setting up External Redirects[edit]

For example, https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Software was moved to https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Software

Using Software as an example here. Textual string Software needs to be replaced with

1. Go to migrated page from Whonix wiki:

  • Go to https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Software

2. Create the redirect to the Moved: namespace.

  • edit the page:
  • Paste.
    #REDIRECT [[Moved:Software]]
  • Save.

3. Go to the new Software stub page in the Moved: namespace.

The link which is now visible due to step 2 should now be visible.

4. Create the external redirect.

  • On https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Moved:Software
  • Paste.
{{#externalredirect: https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Software}}
  • Save.

5. Test the redirect.

For example, https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Software should now be re-directing to https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Software.

6. Done.

Redirection setup complete.

Editing Existing External Redirects[edit]

NOTE: Replace OpenPGP with the actual wiki page name.

Wiki Editors Terminology for Wiki Migration[edit]

  • copy (duplicate from Whonix wiki to Kicksecure wiki and remove Whonix specific parts from Kicksecure wiki)
  • migrate from Whonix to Kicksecure
  • sort it out

Social Media Posting[edit]

Social Media Link Preview Tests[edit]

strict-list-columns[edit]

Example: Mobile_Phone_Security#Data_Harvesting_by_Most_Phones 

<div class="use-2-columns strict-list-columns mw-collapsible-content">

Example: Documentation 

<div class="use-3-columns mw-collapsible-content">

MultiWiki[edit]

Category MultiWiki is used as a tag. Wiki pages with this tag are every now and then (currently only started by administators) mirrored from the Kicksecure wiki to the Whonix wiki with the assistance of automated scripting.

To add a wiki page to Category MultiWiki, the following text needs to be added to that wiki page. By convention, it should be in the footnotes or section or very bottom the footer of the wiki page.

A) If it is a wiki page, add: 

[[Category:MultiWiki]]

B) If it is a wiki template or a widget, add: 

<noinclude>
[[Category:MultiWiki]]
</noinclude>

C) If it is a CSS page or JS page, add: 

/*
[[Category:MultiWiki]]
*/

Examples wiki pages that have been added to Category MultiWiki:

Examples wiki templates that have been added to Category MultiWiki:

The full list of wiki pages currently in Category MultiWiki can be found on the category page:

For web developer to start mirroring, run:

mw-multi-wiki

Notes:

  • Pages that have not been changed in the source wiki will not result in a recorded change (null edit) in the destination wiki.

How to test:

1. Modify a page that is already in Category:MultiWiki such as Testpage13 in the source wiki.

2. Then run mw-multi-wiki.

3. Check for example if Testpage13 was modified in the destination wiki by looking at its content or Testpage13 history.

Gadgets[edit]

Under Special:SpecialPages look for:

Gadgets

See:

Reference Tooltips[edit]

An interesting gadget to have would be Reference Tooltips.

In the past, the MediaWiki Reference Tooltips gadget has lead to wgCanonicalNamespace error in browser console. After disabling the Reference Tooltips JavaScript file, the browser console error was gone.

An alternative could be Extension:Popups. However, quote Extension:WikiSEO known issues:

Extension:PageImages will add an og:image tag if an image is found on the page. If another image was set using WikiSEO, both og:image will be added to the page.

regex: 

\{\{(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\}\}

replace: 

{{$1_$2_$3_$4}}

(\s means "white space".)

3 

\{\{(\w+)\s(\w+)\s(\w+)\}\}

{{$1_$2_$3}}

2 

\{\{(\w+)\s(\w+)\}\}

{{$1_$2}}

template rename[edit]

(?i)workstation.product.name.short

(?i)\{\{project.name\}\}

image remove absolute links[edit]

wiki old example: 

|image=Kicksecure-twitter-post.jpg

wiki new example: 

|image=Kicksecure-twitter-post.jpg

regex search: 

\|image\=https\:\/\/www\.\S+\/([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\.jpg(?!\/)

regex replace: 

|image=$1.jpg

image remove px[edit]

existing wiki: 

|image=98px-Kicksecure-basic-logo.png

wanted wiki (new): 

|image=Kicksecure-basic-logo.png

regex search: 

\|image\=\d{2,4}px\-([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\.jpg

regex replace: 

|image=$1.jpg

Hiding Broken Links From Indexes[edit]

If there is a broken link which has no online replacement or even archived is better to just make it unclickable link:

Use the <nowiki> tag.

In other words, surround the link with the <nowiki> </nowiki> tag.

Example: 

broken link: <nowiki>https://example.com</nowiki>

Should look similar to this:

broken link: https://example.com

Custom CSS JavaScript Debugging[edit]

1. Go to some wiki page you like to test. For example: Dev/wikitest

2. You will end up on the usual URL such as:

https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/wikitest

3. See syntax.

Just have a look. Here are some choices. Choices:

  • general mediawiki debug mode:
    ?debug=true
  • do not load some custom JS:
    ?dontload=js
  • do not load some custom CSS:
    ?dontload=css
  • do not load some custom JS / CSS:
    ?dontload=jscss

4. Append an extra query parameter to the URL.

Examples:

  • do not load some custom JS:
    https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/wikitest?dontload=js
  • do not load some custom CSS:
    https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/wikitest?dontload=css
  • do not load some custom JS / CSS:
    https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/wikitest?dontload=jscss
  • enable debug mode and do not load some custom JS / CSS (The first symbol to start the query parameter is an ?, the separator to add another query parameter is an & The following example is most likely correct.):
    https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/wikitest?debug=true&dontload=jscss

5. Load the website.

Press enter to reload the website with the new query parameters enabled.

6. How to see the difference?

For example:

  • Normal /wiki/ page example:
    • A) Normal URL:
      https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Dev/wikitest
      • In case of A), the CodeSelect copy button should be visible.
    • B) URL with dontload=jscss query parameter:
      https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Testpage?dontload=jscss
      • In case of B), the CodeSelect copy button should not be visible.
  • Special: pages example:
    • A) Normal URL:
      https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
      • In case of A), ...
    • B) URL with dontload=jscss query parameter:
      https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?dontload=jscss
      • In case of B), no visible difference at time of writing.
  • index.php edit wiki page example:
    • A) Normal URL:
      https://www.kicksecure.com/w/index.php?title=Dev/wikitest&action=edit
      • In case of A), the the Save Continue and Save changes buttons should be visible.
    • B) URL with dontload=jscss query parameter:
      https://www.kicksecure.com/w/index.php?title=Dev/wikitest&action=edit&dontload=jscss
      • In case of B), only the Submit changes button should be visible.
