Angelina Jordan Wiki:Updates

This page tracks updates made to the MediaWiki software and various configuration changes that might affect users.

2025-09-15

6 new extensions have been enabled (2 bundled and 4 downloaded separately): Poem^↗ (useful for lyrics and some quotes from social media), TemplateData^↗ (a possible solution for template documentation… but maybe not), TemplateStyles^↗ (might make styling provided by templates easier to implement/maintain and more flexible), MultiBoilerplate^↗ (allows for "preload" type content to be selected by users when creating a new page), NamespaceRelations^↗ (allows new tabs to be added to pages), and CrawlerProtection^↗ (somewhat draconian solution to the problem of bots/spiders/crawlers potentially straining system resources — prevents non-logged-in users from accessing history pages, diffs, and some "expensive" special pages [note that this might render useless some existing links here — will be looking into this shortly]).

2025-09-09

MediaWiki:Sidebar changed to provide the ability to check the size of the job queue [documentation^↗] (along with the rest of the site statistics) and to purge the cache from any page (although note that it doesn't make sense to use purge on a "Special:" page). These links appear in the "tools" menu, the exact position of which differs by skin.

New user added.

2025-09-06

"Tmp:" and "Cat:" namespace aliases added.

2025-09-05

Database changed to remove a previously inaccessible page in the main namespace (was hidden by the page Data:VideoMetaTestData.json in the Data namespace, now deleted).

Namespaces for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok content renamed from shorter versions, which have been retained as namespace aliases ("YT", "FB", "IG", "TT"). Sometime before this, "AJW" was added as an alias of the "Project" namespace ("Angelina Jordan Wiki"). Now all short subject namespace aliases have talk equivalents ending with a "T" (e.g., "AJWT" is the talk namespace for "AJW" subject namespace).

2025-08-25

New PNG logo for Vector 2022 skin and logo configuration changed for other skins (may or may not affect their appearance).
