Files

 * Listed on Special:PrefixIndex/Toolserver:File:

Files are moved to Toolserver:File:, but this caused the image to be lost; these pages do not serve any purpose anymore and aren't used (seeing that there is no image to link to. Some have been imported from commons and can be link fixed. Requires per-case analyses.

Templates

 * Listed on Special:PrefixIndex/Toolserver:Template:

Please note that
 * Template:MovedFromToolserver should be between tags.
 * Duplicates that exist locally already should be deleted (Templates similar to Template:Terminal & Template:!)

Extension API documentation organisation proposal pre-draft

 * One category: MediaWiki Extension API
 * Located on Extension:NAME/API
 * Field in Template:Extension for link to API with category Extensions with documented API

To do
Small list to bridge until able do this all at once,
 * Create Category:Warning templates as seen on Meta - Already done, used wrong link and presumed it didn't exist
 * Copy missing templates to this wiki, request import?
 * Create and work through Category:Archived extensions without an oldid.
 * File a bug report for Special:Diff, when no arguments specified. Also check which translations it uses, as the Dutch one borrows from Special:Move which makes everything even more cryptic

Relevant Extension:Translate links

 * Special:PagePreparation
 * Special:PageMigration
 * Help:Extension:Translate

Installing SQL Server with PHP on Windows Server 2016
This aims at a dev-env, not a production environment.

 * 1) Obtain SQL Server. Do yourself a favor and get the development or evaluation version. Express is stated not to work and is best kept away from.
 * 2) Set up IIS and PHP according to Manual:Installing MediaWiki on Windows Server 2016.
 * 3) * You may skip enabling the database related extensions in  since we're adding MSSQL specific later anyways.
 * 4) Obtain the Microsoft Drivers 5.3 for PHP for SQL Server from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57163
 * 5) Run the installer to extract the files somewhere.
 * 6) Move the PHP extensions to the   folder in the PHP installation folder.
 * 7) * You'll need both the  and the   dll's that match your PHP version. If you've followed Manual:Installing MediaWiki on Windows Server 2016, you'll need the   variant.
 * 8) Add extension loading lines for the dll's you've added to php.ini.
