Everything that is required for this wiki.
Update the wiki software
Fairly simple request. All we ask is that the wiki is updated from MediaWiki 1.31.10 (outdated and unsupported from security updates) to the current latest version, or the long-term support (LTS) version.
New file formats to upload
Images
Just return the SVG, which is the default in any wiki. Optionally, allow support for WebP image, if possible.
Sound
Just return OGG, which is the default in any wiki.
Videos
Allow Videos (such as Game Trailers, tutorials, etc...) to be uploaded on the wiki, and/or also add support for viewing YouTube/Steam Videos/Steam Media embed directly on VDC via MediaWiki extensions (see below).
New Skin
A slightly modified Vector sucks: blurry stretched images in categories, unreadable text in some places and much more annoying stuff.
Not so long ago, the development of a Monobook-based skin (requires wiki version 1.36.0 and higher) began, which would repeat the current wiki, but fix everything that was not fixed by its owners.
Extensions
- Extension:UserFunctions (We can use this to hide content for unregistered users (for example, we could hide information for editors) or something else) (We also need to have access to {{#username:}}, which is provided by this extension)
- Extension:YouTube (We can use this to allow users to watch Game/Software Trailer and Tutorials directly on
{{Software page}}by proving a YouTube link). - Extension:RandomSelection (This extension could be used to randomly select content to appear every time a page that it's utilized on is loaded. For example, we could use this extension to create randomized tooltips.)
- Extension:WhosOnline (Nice little quality of life extension that would allow users to see who is online)
Other
- Let us edit Common.css. Even if you don't do any of the things suggested above, Common.css is enough to make us happy for the rest of our lives.
- Let us edit our user space CSS files and have them apply.
- Add User:PIPEbot to user rights group bots so that it can automate various tasks alongside User:VDCBot.
- Change the SDK Help Forums link on the Sidebar to https://steamcommunity.com/app/211/discussions/, as the original Steam forums has been shut down.
Bugs needed to fix
- Show previews without reloading the page in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing is not working.
