User:Rick~mediawikiwiki/Types of pages in MW.org

A quick brain dump of kinds of pages useful mainly for people admining a wiki and wanting to make changes. For example, config setting changes, creating an extension, changing the layout

Taking on board a brief scan of the discussion in Project:Current issues,


 * Manual:
 * A page for each $wg
 * A page for each element of the user interface and how to adapt it Ie:
 * A page for each PHP Object, Ie, User, Title, etc
 * A page for each wgOut etc you can use in an extension or special page
 * A page for each mediawiki hook --> Manual:MediaWiki hooks, Category:MediaWiki hooks
 * A page on each CSS style object
 * Pages describing how to write an extension or special page
 * Pages describing how to adapt the style of MW


 * Main:
 * A page on each current extension
 * A page on each type of extension


 * A page for each localsettings setting --> Manual:Configuration settings, Manual:Configuration settings (alphabetical), Category:MediaWiki configuration settings


 * A page for each special page

Things to change maybe

 * Make it so Sandbox isn't visible in recent changes, maybe only to the user making the change
 * Hide user creation log?
 * Make it so search searches Manual and Project by default and so searching Manual: actually works!
