User:Ironiridis

Hello
I'm probably best known on Wikinews, where I am a retired admin. My user page there has a fair amount of history you can wander around if you'd like.

Most of my interest in MediaWiki is in breaking it with complex templates. I use it internally at my workplace for professional purposes, as I'm sure many do.

My Extension
I built Extension:UploadConvert, which is an ugly but functional way to run a utility against an upload that may provide a replacement file. It's meant to convert a file like a BMP file format image and convert it, upon upload, to a Portable Network Graphics format image. Other conversions are possible, such as audio transcoding.
