Wiki Feature Requests

Easy ones

• Remove redirect pages from the PageIndex, so they aren't cluttering up the list
• An action that can be used to mark things that need to be verified/corroborated, such as {{verification_needed}} or {{verify}} or some such. It doesn't need to do anything complex, it could simply insert this image: . The purpose is to clearly designate information that needs to be checked on.
• Add a giant warning when someone tries to create a page the same as their name. 99.9% of the time this will be someone creating their userpage in the wrong place.
• Remove standard wikka auto-linking entirely, it seems to cause more problems than it solves.
• An action for the homepage that displays and links the last 5 additions or changes to the wiki.
• On RecentChanges and PageIndex, automatically link user's names to their user page.
• Exclude scorehero.com and rockband.scorehero.com from the Referrers pages.
• Add "Verification Needed" title attribute to {{verify}}
• "D.O.A." still auto-linking for some reason (JC: this is intended behavior because a redirect page actually exists -- it only blocks automatic links to wiki pages that don't exist)
• Page History seems to cap at 20 with no way to see further back revisions, even though they are still stored in the database.
• Need a move/rename page functionality
• Ability to add a custom stylesheet to a page, this may be necessary to prevent people from doing entire pages in HTML.
• Disable page history for user pages to keep personal information hidden when removed.
• After having gone through all of the user pages to pick out some good candidates for the User of the Week section, I think we need to have a link available to all users that let's them nominate pages. I think a small 'Nominate' link in the header of the UoW section on the homepage that gives users a small field that they can use to link to a user page and a small field where they can give their reason. Hitting submit on that will copy the link and reason and the name of the nominating user to our UoW nominations page in a similar format that we have now. System should detect multiple copies and order them accordingly and should not allow a user to nominate himself. Only available to registered and logged in users.
• Change the search functionality to return the most relevant items first. Also, allow exact searches to bring the page up immediately rather than to the list of results.

Harder ones

• Some sort of automatic table-of-contents functionality. Adding a TOC is an extremely common function and it seems pretty tedious at the moment.
• Extend RecentChanges functionality, so that you can page back through as many changes as you want
• Some sort of action for use on userpages that can fetch data from the SH database, so everything doesn't have to be manually updated all the time
• For example, something like {{mystats rank,gh3,expert}} (or however arguments are passed) that would be replaced in the view with my GH3 expert rank at the time
• Auto-linking for common words/phrases that will be used a lot on the SH wiki, like "Guitar Hero", any song name, etc.
• Add ability to watch pages for changes/comments, so I don't have to check my userpage / other pages I'm working on constantly
• The "freticon block" we discussed, making it easier to define strings of freticons
