I've been busy with improving the #SSFWIKI: 
:* Recent improvements were mostly made to '''[[ssfwiki:Mediatheque]]''' (I started on slimming up the Mediatheque by moving some key synthetic human-like fakes (e.g. made into the appearance and sound-like of [[ssfwiki:Mediatheque/2018/Obama's appearance thieved - a public service announcement digital look-alike by Monkeypaw Productions and Buzzfeed|Obama-like]], [[ssfwiki:Mediatheque/2019/Appearance of President Niinistö thieved by Yle using publicly available software|Pres. Sauli Niinistö-like]] and [[ssfwiki:Mediatheque/2020/Nixon's appearance and voice stolen - a public service announcement digital look-alike and sound-alike by MIT's Center for Advanced Virtuality|Nixon-like]] to sub-pages and linking them to articles where needed
:* I added the rest of the contact information for churches and associated organizations from my intrawiki into '''[[ssfwiki:Bibles and churches]]'''

==== Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35.3 ====

* Reverted MediaWiki to last Friday's state, upgraded the MediaWiki from 1.35.2 to 1.35.3 and performed backups and snapshotting. MediaWiki 1.35 is LTS, so going to stay on that. Going to recreate the few edits manually from a temporary wiki I have that contains the edits lost in the revert.

==== Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.36.1 - rolled back ====

<s>Upgraded the wiki MediaWiki briefly to 1.36.1.</s> This was rolled back to a backup from 2021-07-16

After the upgrade the system started throwing 5 deprecation notices about the [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo]]'s way of doing things. 

The good folks at MediaWiki development did some restriction(s) on parser functions (See [[mw:Release_notes/1.36]] for more info). EmbedVideo implements a parser function.

Searching for a solution to the problem it appears that YouTubes and Vimeos can be embedded via the [[mw:Extension:Widgets]] and installing and enabling the widgets [[mw:Extension:Widgets#Video/Audio_widgets]]. As a long term solution this would appear better, because EmbedVideo has previously been interfering with [[mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler]], apparently due that they both take <nowiki>[[File:Filename.ext]]-syntax</nowiki> The TimedMediaHandler would have some good uses here in #SSF! wiki. There are some pieces in the [[Mediatheque]] that would benefit from timed text pointing out where it looks human and where it looks like a fake, which TimedMediaHandler implements. 

As a temporary solution to suppress the deprecation messages I found "<code>$wgDeprecationReleaseLimit = '1.x';</code> [to suppress all deprecation warnings added in version > '1.x']" as a solution in [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:W5jble3el3qtwzp1 MediaWiki topic ''Is there a way to suppress Deprecated messages using PHPunit?''] [[User:Juho Kunsola|Juho Kunsola]] ([[User talk:Juho Kunsola|talk]])

* Considering enabling the [[mw:Extension:VisualEditor]] that comes standard with MediaWiki 1.35 and above, as according to [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274807 this Phabricator Ticket T274807] says that the bug that is stopping [[w:CAPTCHA]] from being shown to users of the [[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]] when trying to edit does not exhibit in the VisualEditor. If it is so stable that it ships with standard MediaWiki, I guess it is safe to assume that it is a good quality implementation.

:: UPDATE: Trying to enable this leads into error messages being thrown because the extensions [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo]] and [[mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler]] take the same syntax, which apparently lead to an error message being displayed.

* Looking at [[mw:Help:Tables]] because many visitors of [[Biblical explanation - The books of Daniel and Revelation]] are using a mobile device with around 360 px screen width and I originally did not think of mobile users, hence the table in there is a bit tight for mobile screens.
