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 is the markup language for Mediawiki pages.

  • Find a way to insert text files into mediawiki (either via upload or as text).

    • Bonus if we can get syntax highlighting for code and if WebGL shaders can be made runnable.
