Semantic MediaWiki

Semantic MediaWiki (on MediaWiki.org) is an elaborate but well known, documented and supported extension that will allow us to have a central location for weapon damage values (and other stats). Defining a property and value for weapon base damage, such as [[base damage::6]] for the Scattergun, will allow us to query that value on other pages. This will primarily increase the accuracy of such values and remove the need to update the values on multiple pages when patches hit, and secondarily assist in outside websites in parsing the information contained in the wiki.

In approaching the issue of increasing our data accuracy, this seemed like the best solution rather than using some sort of template/pseudo-namespace or the like to serve as a central space for these values. -- Pilk _(talk) 09:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki table addition

• It would come in handy to have the Valve Developer Community wiki added to the interwiki table, perhaps as vdc:. It would be particularly helpful to the expansion of TF2 mapping articles.

Upgrade to MediaWiki version 1.16.0

Could we update to MediaWiki version 1.16.0, please? It contains a number of fixes and also, the new Vector skin which should help with usability. Thanks.  – Smashman _(talk) 12:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
