This page documents the setup of this wiki, with particular attention to non-standard features. Some of these changes were made with the help of funding from the Wikimedia Foundation UK, see [[EWTE]], which also provides a narrative and rationale for some of the changes made.


Extensionsː
= General setup =
* Reconfigure the search feature ← needs documenting
 
* Optimize the page delivering (more caching) ← needs documenting
The current wiki version and installed extensions are available on the usual page [[Special:Version]].
* Search engine crawling restrictions ← needs documenting
 
* Setup social extentions working with togetherJS ← need to refer to some installation docs elsewhere (“We followed these instructions …”)̈
Speed optimisation:
* Setup new OCG toolchain with Collection extension (still buggy) (for pdf generation) ← need to refer to some installation docs elsewhere; Also, what’s the ETA for improvements?             
* Optimise the page delivering (more caching)
* Setup auto. ZIM generation toolchain ← need to refer to some installation docs elsewhere
* Search engine crawling restrictions  
* Configure solution for article section prefixing ← needs documenting [[Template:SectionHeadingPrefix]]
 
Usability:
* Reconfigure the search feature
* Setup social extensions working with togetherJS  
* Setup new OCG toolchain with Collection extension (still buggy) (for pdf generation)
* Configure solution for article section prefixing

Assessment of pdf generation. We currently generate our own multi-chapter pdf (using a set of scripts), as we have not found the pediapress pdf generation suitable for our type of content. We would like to explore what other pdf production tool are being worked on, and would like to feed Higher Education requirements into that process.

== Search ==
== Search ==
We did some user testing, and the wiki search came up as something that users found confusing, and not really useful for finding the content they were looking for. We currently use a Google custom search, but the integration into the wiki is not ideal. We would like to explore options for searching that allows our audience to find relevant content more easily.


How did we do this? → See LocalSettings.custom.php and “../custom/extensions” directory.

The Mediawiki search future is customized. It display the results of the standard search engine conbined with the results of Google. This is done using the "GoogleSiteSearch" extension. See the file LocalSettings.custom.php to see how it's configured.
