UI Tips[edit source]
- Video via extension EmbedVideo
- Supports local video extension -- [[File:Example.mp4]], [[File:Example.mp4|start=2|end=6:2]]
- {{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize|valignment}} - but only id is required (use empty pipes to reach deeper params |||
- eg. using key-value pairs {{#evt:service=youtube|id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|alignment=right}}
- Alternate forms
- {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE|alignment=right}}
- <embedvideo service="youtube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</embedvideo>
- <youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</youtube>
- Use "Magic words" to improve the page layout.
- __NOEDITSECTION__ hides all section edit links on the page.
- __NOTOC__ hides the table of contents. __TOC__ repositions the TOC. __FORCETOC__ forces a TOC on page with <= 3 headings.
- Use <nowiki></nowiki> around markup and URLs to suppress wiki text conversion.
- Use <ref name="name">text/link</ref> to append a cite [1]..[n] and text/link at bottom of page -- Cite Extension Documentation, Cite Help
- To embed a PDF viewer use <pdf page="2" width="800" height="500px">File:Some File.pdf</pdf> -- Extension:PDFEmbed
- We use Lingo extension to show a glossary tool tip on text defined in 'Terminology' page.
- To inhibit a Lingo tooltip use <span class="noglossary"></span> or just <noglossary></noglossary> - Use __NOGLOSSARY__ to inhibit on whole page.
- Kick off a page update: I added <span class="mw-lingo-tooltip-abbr"></span> around a word to 'get it working' (maybe caching issue?). After that I removed the span tag and Lingo added it in normally.
- Clearing the browser cache (my stuff won't show)
- Firefox / Safari: Hold Shift while clicking Reload, or press either Ctrl-F5 or Ctrl-R (⌘-R on a Mac)
- Google Chrome: Press Ctrl-Shift-R (⌘-Shift-R on a Mac)
- Internet Explorer: Hold Ctrl while clicking Refresh, or press Ctrl-F5
- Opera: Go to Menu → Settings (Opera → Preferences on a Mac) and then to Privacy & security → Clear browsing data → Cached images and files.
- Use Template:Columns template to make columns: eg. {{Columns:3}}...{{Columns}}
- Widget:YouTube plays Youtube videos (installed Extension:Widgets)
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice is a better page for site notes
- Added | Extension:AddThis for social buttons under the sidemenu. In LocalSettings.php I disabled the right top buttons.
- Changed the Project: namespace to $wgMetaNamespace="Wiki". Howevere keep links to project pages as project: as this will take you to the the page no matter what namespace the wiki uses.
- Installed Extension:MobileFrontend - Puts a 'Mobile view' at end of page.
- Status: many many files to upload. I don't think all files uploaded because this doesn't work correctly yet.
- To open normal link in new page tab -- <span class="pops">link</span> to open link in new tab.
Style Guide Notes[edit source]
- We follow MediaWiki styles who in turn point to the Wikipedia style guide. See also Wikipedia's Edit Page help.
- Title case: Page and section titles are in Sentence case (first letter capitalized). eg "Section on self-treatment". Used by existing MediaWiki platform.
- Nouns & proper nouns follow normal capitalization rules (eg. 'History of the Rolling Stones')
- Title case: Page and section titles are in Sentence case (first letter capitalized). eg "Section on self-treatment". Used by existing MediaWiki platform.
- Link colors CSS (see also Talk page) -- For our wiki we lighten up both the External and Internal 'visited' links (using MediaWiki:Vector.css)
Special:SpecialPages Used[edit source]
- MediaWiki:Common.css contains site wide CSS additions.
- Added CSS to hide title on home page. See MediaWiki FAQ Help
- MediaWiki:Vector.css contains Vector Skin CSS additions.
- Added CSS to hide About link in footer
- MediaWiki:Bottom-notice-ns-0 contains a common page footer text. Had to install Extension: PageNotice Help
- mediawiki:top-notice-ns-0 contains a common page header text. Had to install Extension: PageNotice Help
- Special:ListUsers/sysop lists all users
- MediaWiki:Mainpage contains the wiki default page (now "Helminthic Therapy Wiki") for our wiki. So we can delete Main_Page default and it's redirect statement.
- MediaWiki:Common.js contains site wide JS file. Here we added <span class="pops">link</span> to open link in new tab.

History[edit source]
- 2010 - Paul started up & hosted the first helminth wiki. According to the Wayback Machine, opensourcehelminththerapy.org/mediawiki2/ ran from around 2010 to 2016.
- Dec-2016 - The relatively small opensourcehelminththerapy.org site was overhauled and relocated using latest MediaWiki platform (same as Wikipedia). New location & domain name: helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/. John and Rob added the large amount of data previously gathered, firstly, into files in the Yahoo Helminthic Therapy Forum, and then, when that site was discontinued, moved to the files of the Helminthic Therapy Support group on Facebook.
- 29-03-2018 - John & Rob migrated site from http to https (secure SSL). Moving to the secure HTTPS from the default HTTP had become necessary due to Google Chrome and Firefox, etc., threatening to lower search rankings for HTTP sites.
