Wiki Maintenance
Actual version and extensions: Special:Version
MediaWiki upgrading Manual: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading
Configuration: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings
note: As of 15 March 2013 (UTC),WikiMedia's version is 1.20.3 – 2013-03-04, ours is 1.16.1 from 2010-02-22 !
- The following installed extensions have to be updated/upgraded:
- ParserFunctions (Version 1.3.0) to 1.5.1 (2013-01-06) http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions This extension is bundled with MediaWiki 1.18

- Extension:ConfirmAccount: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount
- Extension:Renameuser http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Renameuser (note: only bureaucrat is allowed to use it, thus not very useful)
Wiki Improvement
Extensions suggested:
- Cite.php is a Cite extension that adds two parser hooks to MediaWiki, <ref> and <references />; these operate together to add citations to pages.http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php
- Extension:Math: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#TeX
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Enable_TeX
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texvc Texvc is supposed to be part of wikimedia, but now math is not any more since v1.18,
- image formats: enable .svg file format; install Extension:Xcf
- Image maps: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap It would help developers and players to have a better world overview, and a different quest access as well.
- Also, the WikiEditor extension would make contributors job much more comfortable:
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor: It is now the wikipedia default and is customizable http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiEditor/Toolbar_customization
- Extension:Babel https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Babel could help to manage users an contributors languages for translations.
- Extension:Javascript: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Javascript Manage multiple JavaScript files imports from one place. (It would allow such things as a javascript character stats calculator...) not priority 1

Was out of date after server move: all pages referring to IRC have to be changed. It would be useful to make templates or functions that would avoid this kind of boring tasks.--Nard 02:56, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Mantis and bug tracking
Bugs should be reported on the corresponding Mantis:
- See ManaPlus/evol-Mantis page for current client bugs.
New features should always be discussed on the forums first as with the content and/or code developers first in any cases.
Reporting Bugs updated according to the various developers preferences.

Mantis has been dropped since server move, all pages referring to it have to be updated. Developers have to use the github bug tracking system, there is still to find a way to avoid unintentional "spamming".
