Installation

See mediawiki for instructions on deployment.
I have a container image with my preferred extensions at https://github.com/dli7319/docker-mediawiki.

To update, bump your image version and then in your container run:

php maintenance/run.php update

Wikitext

Wikitext is the markup language for Mediawiki pages.

Import/Export

Importing Individual Pages From Wikipedia

Mediawikiwiki: Manual:Importing_Wikipedia_infoboxes_tutorial

Go to Wikipedia's Special:Export

Type in the page you want.

Template:Key press
Template:Key press/doc

Check include templates and download the file
Go to your wiki's Special:Import
Import the file.

Restricting Access

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Page_specific_user_rights_extensions.
I use the Lockdown extension.

TODO

Find a way to insert text files into mediawiki (either via upload or as text).
- These should be downloadable with a link.
- Bonus if we can get syntax highlighting for code and if WebGL shaders can be made runnable.

Writing Extensions

PHP Hooks

See Mediawikiwiki:Manual:Hooks

ParserAfterTidy

This is only called for new sections of pages, not necessarily the entire page.

JS Hooks

See mw.hook documentation
