Wikipedia Education Program/status

Last update on: 2013-10-monthly

2011-12-31
Jeroen De Dauw started to work on a MediaWiki extension to support the Wikipedia Education Program; the implementation of course, term and institution management has been completed, and a test wiki is available.

2012-01-24
Institution and course management is done, and so are student and instructor workflows. Logging has been implemented and work on revision history support has started. Several UI improvements have been made including using a tab interface similar to regular articles and use of WikiEditor for textfields in which wikitext can be entered.

 * Merged master courses with courses for simplicity.
 * Implemented revision history. One can now see and browse through a list of old revisions and view courses and institutions as they where at one of these.
 * Replaced special pages for courses and institutions by corresponding namespaces for more standard behavior and having discussion tabs.
