Summary of requests: software enhancements

Long-term proposals

MediaWiki software version
  • TF Wiki's installation at the moment is at 1.15.4, which is a little behind – the latest stable release is 1.16.5 (see also release notes). Note that this release branch appears to have some issues regarding HTML titles not functioning properly (DISPLAYTITLE titles not working (particularly important on translated pages), 'Editing Page...' not appearing). This coupled with the fact that most of our JS customizations have not yet been tested with the release may make this release branch a slightly unfavourable candidate at this time. Although these are relatively minor issues compared with other security matters to be taken into consideration, they are being noted here anyway.
Just to note about the latest version, but it's now at 1.19.1. --The Happy Flygineer 20:14, 14 July 2012 (PDT)
