See Help:Templates. Templates are also listed in the :Category:Templates.

Additional Javascript and css

See MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css.

Modifications of MediaWiki:Common.css:

  • Hide the page titles for manual pages. When changing or removing page title of manual pages, the css needs to be adjusted to keep the page title hidden.

  • A number of extensions have been added, see below.
  • The server site on a Cambridge University Computing Service 'Managed Web Server' called 'recoup'.
  • Because the server is a UCS Managed Web Server, the DNS entry is also managed by the UCS. They set up manual.recoup.educ.cam.ac.uk as a subdomain, and the "www.manual" version has also been made to work, in case the url is mistyped.
  • A mailing webmaster mailing list has been set up on the UCS mailing lists.
