Contribution tips
- Draft new articles as subpages of your user page, e.g.
User:Name/drafts/Article
. When the article is ready it can be moved into the main namespace. - Draft major rewrites as subpages of your user page. If the draft is approved it can be gradually copied to the actual article (take care to still produce readable diffs and merge in-between contributions by others).
- When your casual editing of an article turns out to be a complete rewrite, undo your changes and start a draft.
- Put smaller drafts for existing articles on their talk page.
ArchWiki issues
- Categories are displayed at the page bottom, see ArchWiki talk:Administrators#Patch Vector skin to display categories at the top of the page.
- You cannot filter out non-English articles from Special:RecentChanges, Special:WhatLinksHere or the search.
- Archived pages clutter the search autocompletion, archived pages return a 200 status code, links to archived pages are blue.
- Help talk:I18n#Incorrect metadata and RTL style issues
MediaWiki
- mwparserfromhell doesn't support space-initialized code blocks.[1] There is no other Python MediaWiki parser with a navigable parse tree that does.
- w:Help:Template#Problems and workarounds
CLI parsing
Download MediaWiki and install PHP#Sqlite.
php maintenance/install.php --dbpath install --dbtype sqlite --pass <pass> MediaWiki <admin> php maintenance/parse.php
