| − | This page is a wishlist of things that would be nice to have on this wiki. There are a few things that aren't immediately needed, but it might be nice to have, and others depend on the security of the site. Max has got to do a bunch of the stuff, unless he allows db access, which probably isn't going to happen.

| − | == Content ==
| + | |
| − | * Expand the main namespace to include articles for ''all'' the major fads and YTMND sites without forking them from the fads list. YTMND is not Wikipedia after all and "This comes from Wikipedia/Fadwiki" messages look ghey.
| + | |
| − | * Try to explain why a fad is funny to newcomers. Some (lots) of people look at these YTMND and either don't get the joke, or don't know why they're funny.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Aesthetic ==
| + | |
| − | * Make [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css|skin of the site]] look like the main YTMND site (see [[MediaWiki talk:Monobook.css]]), and when the new skin comes out, that too.
| + | |
| − | * Get fonts to match YTMND's, so it may integrate nicely. The headings and such should be capitalized, if possible, and the font to match up with the main site's

| − | == Technical ([[Max Goldberg|requires db access]]) ==
| + | |
| − | === Changes to [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LocalSettings.php LocalSettings.php] ===
| + | |
| − | ==== Quick and easy ====
| + | |
| − | *Personal user styles (I loves me some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups popups]). Set [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgAllowUserJs $wgAllowUserJs] and [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgAllowUserCSS $wgAllowUserCss] to true.
| + | |
| − | *Set [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgShowIPinHeader $wgShowIPinHeader] to false, so it won't look lame when someone's just reading (this setting removes the redlinks at the top of the page next to log in, and since we don't allow anons, we should just get rid of this. WP has this set to false, but allows anons to edit)
| + | |
| − | *Enable [[Special:Emailuser/USERNAME]] e-mail by setting [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgEnableUserEmail $wgEnableUserEmail] to True
| + | |
| − | *Set [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgAllowRealName $wgAllowRealName] to false. Real names are retarded.
| + | |
| − | *Set [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgAmericanDates $wgAmericanDates] to true. YTMND is American, not French (or British, whatever).
| + | |
| − | *Turn off [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Patrolled_edits patrolled edits], a useless feature, by setting $wgUseRCPatrol to false.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Slightly longer (instructions on linked page) ====
| + | |
| − | *[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings#Proxies Block open proxies] so we don't get crackhead vandals.
| + | |
| − | *[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Configuring_file_uploads Enable uploads], and link the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgLogo main logo] to (a protected) [[:Image:Wiki.png]]
| + | |
| − | *Set [[YTMND:Admin's Noticeboard]] to be read only by sysops, using [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Page_access_restriction_with_MediaWiki page restrictions] (or [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access#Setting_permissions_for_a_Group_on_a_whole_new_Namespace creating a new namespace that can only be read by sysops])
| + | |
| − | *Enable [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LocalSettings.php#Direct_SQL_Queries SQL queries] ([http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings#Sysop_SQL_queries 2]) so that all this shit doesn't have to be done by Max alone (though he may want to keep it secure)
| + | |
| − | *[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_a_very_short_URL Get a short URL](wiki.ytmnd.com/PAGENAME, or ytmnd.com/wiki/PAGENAME, etc). For the path to be the former, http://wiki.ytmnd.com (a nsfw) needs to be deleted and the install directory coolified [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url].
| + | |
| − | *Enable [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Interwiki_links interwiki links] to Wikipedia, [http://meta.wikimedia.org Meta]<!--for help files, etc-->, Fadwiki and Encyclopedia Dramatica to make the articles here more useful. There's no need to have our own personal spin on everything that might be covered elsewhere (e.g. Macaron Chacaron, linking Conan O'Brian, etc). It's time to stop raping the {{tl|From Wikipedia}} and {{tl|From Fadwiki}} templates.
| + | |
| − | *Possibly create a new [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_settings#Skins skin] not based on monobook (see [[MediaWiki talk:Monobook.css]]), probably based on the forthcoming new layout Max is talking about. Create a [something].css skin, and/or at least enable it in LocalSettings.php so that admins can edit it.

| − | === Extensions ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Writing_a_new_special_page help]) ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *Enable [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:CheckUser CheckUser] for sysops and such (code's at [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/extensions/CheckUser.php Sourceforge])
| + | |
| − | *[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Renameuser Rename users] (it should work on 1.6, even if it doesn't say so... Official MediaWiki sites is running 1.7 alpha, and has it installed.
| + | |
| − | *Get a [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BraneJ/Protected_pages list of protected pages]
| + | |
| − | *[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions#Installation Parser functions] to add #switch, #expr, and others to make better templates (maybe in the possible category? this is a little bit more important though).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Possibly added later, if needed ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | *[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Sysy/Andrew_Johnson%27s_account_creation_privilege_hack Only allow current users to add new users] or [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access#Prevent_new_user_registrations only allow Sysops to add new users] (Just like Gmail, Facebook, or a bunch of those other sites, you can only join if you're invited, thus limiting vandal abilities.)
| + | |
| − | *Install [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite.php Cite.php] to easily create footnotes.
