Some new features

While we're still dealing with issues related to subpages and such, there are also some new features we've got as a result of the upgrade. Listing a few here for you to try out:

• Help:Cite is a Help file for creating references on article pages.
• Cite This Page shows you exactly all the ways to cite an article from this wiki.
• Instant Commons lets you instantly use photos from Wikimedia Commons.
• Poem allows you to display and style verse.
• Popups show summaries and definitions when you mouse over live links.
• SubPage List 3 will list all the subpages of an article.
• Syntax High Light will add syntax coloring, line numbers and color to code snippets of most programming languages.
• ZWI Export lets you submit your best pages to The Encyclosphere's experimental database of encyclopedia articles, which can be searched using either EncycloReader or EncycloSearch.

• How to create a subpages article manually
• User_talk:Pat_Palmer/sandbox/How_to_create_a_subpages_article_manually

To create a CZ subpages article called My_Article:

• create My_Article and add {{subpages}} as its first line

1. use CZ:Templates to create Template:My_Article/Metadata and populate it with metadata
2. create Talk:My_Article and add {{subpages}} as its first line

1. optionally, create My_Article/Related_Articles (optional) and add {{subpages}} as its first line
2. optionally, create My_Article/Bibliography (optional) and add {{subpages}} as its first line
3. optionally, create My_Article/External_Links (optional) and add {{subpages}} as its first line

server migrations chores

• Migration began on 3/5/2022 (asked users not to edit in old server any more).
• DNS fully cut over on 3/20/2022.

To do (OLD server)

• shut it down on May 20, 2022

To do (NEW server)

• test r and rpl templates for bad links to missing definitions, etc
• document new extensions (including ZWI)
• 8 Update this? CZ:Extensions
• make sure we can create a new page with subpages
  • http://208.100.31.41/wiki/Special:MetadataForm is missing
    • here it is on the old server: https://en.czold.org/wiki/Special:MetadataForm
    • it links to this page: https://citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Start_Article (which is on the main page)
• external links not being created (per code added to the bottom of Mediawiki:common.js; works in old server)
• eventually, shut down old server

code snippets

• Instant Commons photo link:

Ad verbiage

The Citizendium wants to be a small, supportive community of collaborators who work on articles which could not be developed in Wikipedia, that are different from what Wikipedia now offers, though not necessarily either better or worse. Please understand that we love Wikipedia; most of us consult it several times per day. But we also understand its limitations, and that's why we support The Citizendium also, not as a competitor but as supplement. We acknowledge and honor Wikipedia's successes in seeking to be a complete compendium of everything; it would be futile to duplicate that effort. We also believe that the philosophy of "less is more" sometimes applies, where an important aspect of a topic can be emphasized without trying to include everything known about a given topic in a single article.

The Citizendium provides a different kind of collaborative environment than Wikipedia now offers. We use real names, and we have a modest number of active authors so that it becomes possible to know each other well. We strive for objectivity and quality--and civility. We consider ourselves to be a community. To help address control issues, we're open to having multiple articles developed on a single topic (to be located via a disambiguation page). For those who want more fully lead the direction of an article, we allow "lead authors" on articles. Led articles can still be collaborations, but the declared article leaders are the ones who get to guide the direction and emphasis of the article.

We have no problem whatsoever with people using The Citizendium as a staging area for an article to be copied elsewhere later (such as to Wikipedia, where it will likely be seen by more eyes). This is legal, with the following caveats: the article remains behind on The Citizendium (may not simply be deleted), and at its new home, attribution is given to The Citizendium as per our site license. In fact, we find these cases interesting to watch over time, to see how the two parallel articles evolve in their different hosts.

Digital object identifier (DOI)

• Digital_object_identifier - needs a complete overhaul
• Polymicrogyria - look at the bottom two refs (next to last is a DOI)

External links: guide

Temporary testing area for link behavior changes made in this revision (and this one and this one, in my attempts to find out why it kept rejecting what I wrote, which works perfectly, but may have used JavaScript features newer than this MediaWiki version), per Pat.

• Internal link that should not open in a new tab: Bernie Sanders (article selected by Special:Random, if you're curious).
• External link that should not open in a new tab: Google.

Film (actors, directors...)? Planets? from Roger Lohmann: Mysteries; not only the huge (and hugely popular) novels that go by that name, but all the other things that could conceivably come under that heading, from the trivial to the profound, from current affairs to deep history. (What happened to Amelia Earhart? Are there really UFO’s? Orson Welles’ radio broadcast. Who and What is God? Are there miracles? Who were the Neanderthals?) From Rajendra Raju: There are also themes on (a) Motivation and (b) Technical topics that you may find fit to include. I suppose these would become articles ultimately after being cleared by the editors.
