Admin Tasks

Add tasks that only admins and sysops have permission to do here

• Fix pages marked with {{admin}}
• Make the Main Page look nicer on mobile
  • We now have the mobile extension installed. For the most part, this allows things to look good on mobile devices; but the image on the main page doesn't scale properly. We probably want to figure out a way to make it fit into the mobile layout better. There are some notes on how to do this in the MediaWiki docs
  • It looks like the main issue is getting the front-page images scaled properly. A first step to that would be to replace all of the custom pages for each of the main page images, with one that uses Template:Weekly image, so we can set parameters on these images globally rather than having to go through each one. I've done do on the first few already (for example Main_Page/Picture_for_week_1), just need to go through each of the later images (Main Page/Weekly images) and use the template.
  • Design favicon and mobile icons for the site.
    - Tested various favicons, currently using a green large pyramid as it shows up well in different color themes. --Dazeysan (talk) 00:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
• Remove unused files, especially images that look like they were uploaded by wiki spammers
  - No unused images were imported during the 2023 migration. See List of files not imported for details. --Dazeysan (talk) 00:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
• Add an extension for embedding videos from sites such as YouTube. Done, see Extension:EmbedVideo for docs, Looney Pyramid Games Wiki talk:Community Portal for example.
  - This extension was not enabled in the 2023 migration, do we need it? --Dazeysan (talk) 00:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
