Wiki Extensions

I don't now if there is already some general view/discussion on what MediaWiki extension to add (or not) to the Pioneer wiki. I like to nominate the 'ParserFunctions' extension (www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions) (note: this extension might already be installed, just not enabled currently.). It basically allows for if/else support, which good be put to good use in Infobox templates.. Second on my list, although there seems to be no direct need for it at the moment, would be 'Semantic MediaWiki' (semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki). Mainly for adding properties support, but it has also a lot of other useful features. --MvGulik 01:06, 3 January 2014 (PST)

I'm planning on making some case study/tutorial video timelapses about content creation, so a way to embed youtube or vimeo would be nice. I'm not sure there's plugin installed for that though.

Infobox Company

I added and implemented some changes to the Infobox_Company template. Some things that I noted that might need some attention.

• Some Company's use a trailing dot in there name. Others don't. (I suggest ditching the dot.)
• The File:Albr.png as old logo, can go in my view (not used anymore). If there is a need to keep it around, a better alternative to having it around as a stand-alone image file is to add the new image version to the old file(update it).
