Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Upgrades
Upgrades, past, present and planned.
2010-10-17
As of 2010-10-12, these are the software and versions we're running.
Questions to answer for each:
- Is this in use?
- Are there upgrades available?
- Do the upgrades conflict with current or targeted versions of other software?
- MediaWiki 1.15.3
- MultiCategorySearch 1.35, with modifications by User:Opticron.
- Currently, yes, this is used a lot. Namely, as part of Template:Unimpl Page. Modifying that template to leverage SMW instead would be nice, but SMW doesn't support set exclusions involving categories, so things like Template:Example and Template:Task would need to apply semantic properties in addition to categories, so that the SMW query could operate on those properties, instead of categories.
- Special:Interwiki r47067
- Yes, used very much.
- WebChat 1.0.0
- Occasionally.
- Cite Version r47190
- Don't know.
- GeSHi CodeTag 1.65, liberally edited and rewritten by User:Short Circuit. It's nearly a completely different extension by now.
- Extensively.
- IpbWiki PayPal 1.02
- Yes, for donations.
- ParserFunctions (no version number at Special:Version?
- Yes, for templates like Template:Language.
- Semantic MediaWiki 1.5.1.1
- Yes
- AmazonPlus 0.5.2
- No. There's a bug in MediaWiki template processing that prevents AmazonPlus from being usable within templates.
- ConfirmEdit Version r36959
- Yes, as part of CAPTCHAs.
- TextLink Ads (Version 0.9) (written entirely by User:Short Circuit)
- Yes, on a couple pages, but it's not proven useful. The extension itself selectively pulls in and executes PHP files based on page name, though, so it has broader utility and may be used for other things.
