IN PROGRESS

EVALUATING

  • For Wordpress moving away from Polylang to automatic translation with GTranslate. Whether GTranslate would play along nicely with WP Wiki Tooltip and RDP Wiki Embed remains to be discovered. Maybe set up a staging Wordpress just to test this out. There is an another Wordpress translator plugin called 'Google Language Translator' with very high reviews, but it has been purchased by the company behind Gtranslate, and remains to see if the plan to phase out that.

Progress in SSFWIKI

Recently added new articles to the SSFWIKI:

  1. ssfwiki:FacePinPoint.com
  2. ssfwiki:Organizations and events against synthetic human-like fakes (split from ssfwiki:Synthetic human-like fakes) and
  3. 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

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

Considering mw:Extension:ShortDescription

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 solution

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.

Friday 2022-01-07

Possibility to improve the popups by adding a gadget

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.

Thursday 2022-01-06

Made and verified backups of just the database

Done.

Wednesday 2022-01-05
