= MediaWiki =
 
The #SSF! wiki has the following configuration. Observe: this is not a complete listing of the configuration.
 
== ConfirmAccount ==
The [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount]] settings are as follows:
 
<code>$wgMakeUserPageFromBio = false;</code>
 
<code>$wgAutoWelcomeNewUsers = false;</code>
 
<code>$wgConfirmAccountRequestFormItems = array(
        'UserName'        => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Your choice of user name
        'RealName'        => array( 'enabled' => false ), # Not asked, this would be a nice field to have, if it was possible to add it as an optional field
        'Biography'      => array( 'enabled' => false, 'minWords' => 50 ),
        'AreasOfInterest' => array( 'enabled' => false ),
        'CV'              => array( 'enabled' => false ),
        'Notes'          => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Optional / Can be blank - Any info you want to provide
        'Links'          => array( 'enabled' => true ), # Optional / Can be blank - Any info you want to provide
        'TermsOfService'  => array( 'enabled' => false ),
);
</code>
 
== reCAPTCHA settings ==
=== reCAPTCHA settings for the server ===
<pre>
$wgGroupPermissions['*'            ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user'        ]['skipcaptcha'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['autoconfirmed']['skipcaptcha'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['bot'          ]['skipcaptcha'] = true; // registered bots
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop'        ]['skipcaptcha'] = true;
 
$wgCaptchaTriggers['edit']          = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['create']        = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['addurl']        = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['createaccount'] = true;
$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin']      = true;
 
</pre>
 
 
=== reCAPTCHA settings explained for humans ===
In human readable terms the reCAPTCHA settings are as follows:
 
# Anonymous users have to pass the captcha always
# Non-autoconfirmed users have to pass the captcha always
# Autoconfirmed users do not have to pass the CAPTCHA (See [[#Autopromotion settings explained for humans]] to figure out when you will be autoconfirmed)
 
----
 
== Email settings ==
# <pre>$wgEnableEmail = true;</pre> Email is enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableEmail]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEnableUserEmail = true;</pre> Emailing users with <nowiki>[[Special:EmailUser/Username]]</nowiki> is enabled if the user has verified his/her email address and has not disabled receiving mail via wiki. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnableUserEmail]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEnotifUserTalk = true;</pre> Emailing notices about someone else having edited your talk page are enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnotifUserTalk]] for more info
# <pre>$wgEnotifWatchlist = true;</pre> Email notices about someone editing a page on your [[Special:Watchlist]] are enabled. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEnotifWatchlist]] for more info.
# <pre>$wgEmailAuthentication = true;</pre> Requirement to verify your email address is enabled. Without having a verified email address of the email functions only the sending new password via email will work. Also not verifying email address stops a user from being autopromoted to autoconfirmed-status. See [[mw:Manual:$wgEmailAuthentication]] for more info.
 
== Scary transclusion ==
<code>$wgEnableScaryTransclusion = true;</code> is enabled and [[Special:Interwiki]] adjusted so that pages with the interwiki prefix 'wikipedia:' can be transcluded by writing <nowiki>{{wikipedia::Article name}}</nowiki>
 
== Mobile interface ==
 
'''[[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]]''' (MF) and '''[[mw:Skin:Minerva Neue]]''' together make a mobile view. See [[mw:Extension talk:MobileFrontend]] [[mw:Skin talk:Minerva Neue]] for more information.
 
Adding links to the mobile menu can be done through [[MediaWiki:Mobile.js]] | [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vqy1kx6q4e0bzvyb Topic on Extension talk:MobileFrontend] (2020-11-30)
 
Advanced Mobile Contributions ('''AMC''') needs to be enabled for all users in order for them to see a link to [[Special:RecentChanges]] and [[Special:SpecialPages]]
 
* In the following configuration
* "''base''" => all mobile users
* "''beta''" => users that have enabled the beta features in the mobile menu -> settings
* "''amc''" => users that have enabled AMC in mobile menu -> settings
 
 
Here is the configuration for the mobile interface:
<code>
wfLoadSkin( 'MinervaNeue' );  # load skin specifically developed for mobile device audience
$wgMFDefaultSkinClass = 'SkinMinerva'; # default skin for MF
wfLoadExtension( 'MobileFrontend' ); # load MF
$wgMFAutodetectMobileView = true; # explicit setting of this is not required since Mediawiki version (???)
$wgMFAdvancedMobileContributions = true; # allow AMC. '''Obs.''' without this there will be no reasonable minimum menu
$wgMinervaPageActions = array( # show UI for page actions: edit, talk, watch, switch language
        'edit' => true,
        'talk' => true,
        'watch' => true,
        'switch-language' => true
);
$wgMinervaHistoryInPageActions = array( # show UI for page history in mobile menu to all mobile users
  'beta' => true,
  'base' => true,
  'amc' => true
);
$wgMinervaAdvancedMainMenu = array(  # Enable Advanced Main Menu in mobile menu to all mobile users
  'beta' => true,
  'base' => true,
  'amc' => true
);
$wgMinervaPersonalMenu = array( # Show personal menu in mobile menu to all mobile users
  'beta' => true,
  'base' => true,
  'amc' => true
);
</code>
 
 
== Autopromotion to skip CAPTCHA permanently  ==
This is no longer very relevant as users created by Juho will be autoconfirmed. This may be useful for some cases, but due to the spammers passing reCAPTCHA accounts are [[Special:RequestAccount|upon request]]
 
{{Q|Make 7 edits, and when your account has existed for at least 1 hour and have clicked the "Verify my email"-link sent to verify possession of a valid email account and you can skip captcha permanently.|Juboxi|settings of the autopromotion}}
 
'''Autopromotion settings for the server'''
<pre>
$wgAutopromote = array(
        'autoconfirmed' => array(
                '&',
                APCOND_EMAILCONFIRMED,
                array( APCOND_EDITCOUNT, 7 ),
                array( APCOND_AGE, 60*60 ),
        ),
);
</pre>
 
'''Autopromotion settings explained for humans'''
In human readable terms:
# Users will be automatically promoted to autoconfirmed when '''all three''' conditions are met
## They have '''confirmed their email address''' by clicking on the confirmation link in the email sent by the system when registering an account
## They have made '''7 edits'''
## Their account has existed for '''at least one hour'''
 
These values may need to be adjusted in the future. The goal of these settings is to
# Avoid spamming, vandals etc.
# To give genuine contributors ability to edit without needing to solve CAPTCHAs reasonably quickly

= Tidio chat =
[https://www.tidio.com Tidio.com] is a nice chat service provider that offers 7 days of free premium, after which a downgrade to the free-tier with some crippling from the software's full potential.
 
It may be installed on many platforms. I installed it for the [https://stop-synthetic-filth.org/wp/ SSF! Wordpress].
 
Once the chat is installed, it can be included on unlimited number of pages with a Javascript script inserted in the <nowiki><body> ... </body> according to the documentation, but seems to work just fine also in the <nowiki><head> ... </head></nowiki>, which was actually what they suggested previously.
 
To enable a Tidio chat on a Mediawiki, one way is to install, load and configure [[mw:Extension:HeadScript]]  
 
'''Instructions'''
 
* Install [[mw:Extension:HeadScript]]
* Add <code>wfLoadExtension( 'HeadScript' );</code> to LocalSettings.php
* You can find the code in the Tidio Panel -> 'Settings' -> Installation -> '' 'If you still want to access your JavaScript code or reinstall the chat - click here' '' -> 'Javascript'. Copy this code.
* Add the code to load the script to LocalSettings as instructed in the extension's documenation.
