• Considering enabling the mw:Extension:VisualEditor that comes standard with MediaWiki 1.35 and above, as according to 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. Juho Kunsola (talk) 19:02, 13 May 2021 (CEST)

[[File:KJV Audio Bible - Revelation (Read by Domonique Davis)-qVQEfeQ1Sro.webm|thumb|center|[[w:Book of Revelation]] ([[w:King James Version|w:KJV]], 1611) as audio read by Dominique Davis of the [[w:Faithful Word Baptist Church]]. [[commons:File:KJV_Audio_Bible_-_Revelation_(Read_by_Domonique_Davis)-qVQEfeQ1Sro.webm|The file is from Wikimedia Commons]]]] .

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.

• After installing mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler I am seeing the following "Notice: Undefined index: descriptionUrl in /var/www/stop-synthetic-filth.org/w/extensions/EmbedVideo/classes/media/AudioTransformOutput.php on line 95". Looking at how both mw:Extension:EmbedVideo and mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler implement [[File:Filename.ext]]-syntax for audio and video files, that's probably the culprit why this notice is served.

• Making and verifying backups and taking a snapshot of the system disk after enabling mw:Extension:HeadScript and then the Tidio chat on SSF! wiki. Also installed and configured mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler, which allows a wiki to display audio and video files in wiki pages, using the same syntax as for image files. This will be useful for the videos in the mediatheque. Juho Kunsola (talk) 21:36, 7 April 2021 (CEST)

• I was made aware today by a user on the Consumerium development wiki that there is a problem with invoking the mw:CAPTCHA for the mobile users, rendering mobile users unable to edit any pages. This is a semi-known issue in mw:Extension:MobileFrontend. There is an another minor issue to patch also. I'm looking for a solution or workaround to the problem for our mobile users and making backups now. Juho Kunsola (talk) 16:10, 7 February 2021 (CET)

• Making and verifying backups after successfully added some novel contacting methods to the English language #SSF! wordpress. Also made a reasonable mobile menu by adapting this example and wrote a blog post about these improvements. Today I also optimized the #SSF! wiki biblical explainer for mobile users, who comprise majority of the traffic. Juho Kunsola (talk) 18:37, 22 January 2021 (CET)

• 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. I'm thinking of reorganizing it and figuring out a way to format the explainer-portion as 100% width of the table. Juho Kunsola (talk) 13:23, 22 January 2021 (CET)

Got it sorted. Key was to set the columnspan correctly and just making the tables 2-columns wide instead of 4. Juho Kunsola (talk) 18:37, 22 January 2021 (CET)
