Angelina Jordan Wiki:Updates

This page tracks updates made to the MediaWiki software and various configuration changes that might affect users. (Note: Dates are based on U.S. Central Time.)

2025-09-29

Thanks to Extension:NamespaceRelations^↗, we now have actual tabs providing access to documentation subpages in the Template, Module, and Data namespaces, so we no longer need the site notice to do that in the Data namespace.

Extension:DismissableSiteNotice^↗ is now enabled, so logged-in users can hide the site notice after they've seen it (until a new notice is created, at which point it will be displayed for everyone again). This is implemented using a browser cookie.

2025-09-21

Extension:Cargo^↗ enabled. A separate database was created for the extension's data, as explained in the docs^↗. Apart from that, the default configuration is being used.

2025-09-15

5 new extensions have been enabled: 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), and NamespaceRelations^↗ (allows new tabs to be added to pages).

For a time, CrawlerProtection^↗ was enabled, but then it was abandoned in favor of a more tailored approach^↗. This might render some existing links here useless for (non-logged-in) readers (by preventing the viewing of page diffs), but it's not nearly as draconian as the extension was.

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).

2025-08-16

Data: namespace created.

2025-08-15

Skin:MinerveNeue^↗ enabled (see "Appearance" in your preferences to use this skin).

2025-08-12

thumbnail-size^↗ user preference (see "Files" under "Appearance") now limited to 120px and 300px (this affects images displayed with the "thumb" option^↗).
