Making and verifying backups after resolving a thumbnailing problem on one wikiEdit

I will look into how long that setting was like that and was there any rational reason for it. I noticed it on ciumd:User:Jukeboksi/Log/2022#Saturday 2022-05-28

Saturday 2022-05-28Edit

Renamed "Laws against synthetic filth" to Laws against synthesis and other related crimesEdit

Moved Laws against synthetic filth to Laws against synthesis and other related crimes. Needed to recover from db backup a few times to do it and had some technical difficulties the 2nd time around. Lesson turned out to be an old well known one: Always restart any caching system, such as the mw:Memcached that makes MediaWiki fly, instead of just running, if doing any changes that the software does not anticipate.

Made and verified a database backupEdit

After the article rename

Friday 2022-05-20Edit

Made and verified a backup of only the databaseEdit

Going to move Laws against synthetic filth, so made and verified backup of just the database, as these renames with Special:ReplaceText may sometimes have adverse effects and thus need to revert to old state.

Progress in SSFWIKIEdit

Recently added new articles to the SSFWIKI:

ssfwiki:FacePinPoint.com
ssfwiki:Organizations, studies and events against synthetic human-like fakes (split from ssfwiki:Synthetic human-like fakes) and
ssfwiki:Help against appearance and voice theft (just a stub).

Also content and explanatory additions, structural improvements and other improvements to other articles have been made, like

Renaming the biblical stuff article to ssfwiki:Biblical connection - Revelation 13 and Daniel 7 which is truer to its scope and
Renaming the legal stuff article to ssfwiki:Laws against synthesis and other related crimes.

Considering mw:Extension:ShortDescriptionEdit

Considering mw:Extension:ShortDescription for better user experience for mobile visitors and it has some other advantages too and looks very straightforward to take into use.

Considering mw:Extension:AutoSitemap for w:Site map solutionEdit

Considering mw:Extension:AutoSitemap, an extension to automatically keep the w:site map up-to-date and to inform the usual search engines periodically if it has changed. This would probably help search engines pick up new changes faster.

Possibility to improve the popups by adding a gadgetEdit

After searching a while I found out that the mw:Extension:Popups implements w:Page Previews (SSFWIKI has this now), but the gadget that implements w:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups is a different thing. Got some expert help in irc as Reedy said that

[perjantaina 7. tammikuuta 2022] [19.46.20 EET] <Reedy> Both the extension and the gadget should be doable

so I'm going to look into pursuing a similar popup system as Wikipedia has. There are some advantages with w:Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups e.g. renders more prettily, popups contain clickable links, popups contain quick access links to wiki editing functionality.
