Making pages look good
CSS is the style system of Web pages and can also be used in Mediawiki. Like wiki markup, learning can be progressive.
- CSS styling <div style="background: orange">Hello world</div>
- Avoid losing meaning (don't use <big> for headers), keep it simple
- Re-using styles MediaWiki:Common.css
Semantic Mediawiki
Used to create re-usable data, create easier to use forms.
- Inline annotations
- Queries
- Creating a class (template, properties, forms)
- Formlink {{#formlink:Comment|comment||Comment[Topic]={{PAGENAME}}}}</formlink>
Converting content or sites
Hosting
- Export a site, modularize by category
- Complete site export
- Special:Version
- Free light/startup hosting
- Inexpensive Mediawiki with SMW option
- Wikia
- Self-hosting
