Made, verified and stashed backups. Juho Kunsola (talk) 13:49, 7 December 2020 (CET)
Making, verifying and stashing backups. This time will try to figure out how to tweak the mw:Manual:Interface/Sidebar and mw:Extension:MobileFrontend / mw:Skin:Minerva Neue, mainly for #SSF! wiki, but perhaps also others. Yesterday I figured out a procedure to correctly enable importing in my testwiki and after I got it to work I imported citation templates to the #BCM! wiki (predecessor of SSF! wiki), SSF! wiki and in Consumerium. The dormant Wikistudy already had a selection of citation templates from back from 2013-2014ish. Juho Kunsola (talk) 13:13, 7 December 2020 (CET)
Tested in a test wiki the procedure to Special:Import the citation templates and did it here and all the citation templates are being rendered correctly instead of just red links. I will try to get my notes on how to enable citation templates on a non-WMF wiki to shape to publish on some wiki where it serves the mw:Mediawiki instance maintainers.

Found this picture yesterday and it seems like a wonderful source of technologies, most to be combatted, but there may be a few beneficial ones in there too. Saved an offline copy, because sometimes treasure disappears from the Internet.
So I set in LocalSettings.php
$wgAllowExternalImages = false; # not really needed, is false by default
$wgEnableImageWhitelist = true;
and enabled that particular image in MediaWiki:External image whitelist. Formatting external images is more challenging, but I would like to not copyvio this one.
Finally located instructions for importing citation templates at mw:VisualEditor/Citation tool. Previously I knew only of instructions on how to import infoboxen, which is a somewhat similar procedure. Juho Kunsola (talk) 15:45, 19 November 2020 (CET)

Fixed a vulnerability in the conf, that allowed existing users to create more accounts. Consumerium.org developement wiki had similar vandalism. Both were whisked away with database revert. Juho Kunsola (talk)
Placed the old (1.34) MediaWiki in safekeeping (files + db). Will do so for the 1.35.0 and take a snapshot. Juho Kunsola (talk) 19:45, 5 October 2020 (CEST)

The current favicon.ico of Stop Synthetic Filth! wiki zoomed
The favicon.ico not showing up most of the time was fixed today. Thank you to Vulpix @ #mediawiki for singlehandedly solving this issue. The problem was that the location given for the favicon.ico was interpreted as relative to /wiki/, not root of the site. My appologies, now solved. Juho Kunsola (talk) 14:11, 11 September 2020 (CEST)
Fixed the mw:Extension:MobileFrontend not having a reasonable default menu. Seems this has been requested for the past 4-5 yrs, with some hacky solutions showing up in searches, solutions that no longer work. I have been searching for a fix so that Special:RecentChanges would show up in the MobileFrontend menu. Thanks to reedy at #mediawiki for filing this ticket T260577 - "Extension:MobileFrontend/MobileMenu seems to be out of date" at WMF's Phabricator. Reedy also suggested that maybe I would like to create a ticket for "Advanced Mode" (which brings up the RC) to be default for anon users. See SSF:About

The mw:Extension:ConfirmEdit was hastily left unconfigured by me, when we had the problem with spammers. Per default it requires a field "Real name" to be filled and this was not the intention.
