What is the wiki

Wiki Usage Guides
Extra Features
WikiBot
The user:wikibot makes edits to the wiki automatically, making simple cleanups and doing link verification. It's running based off the Pywikibot software.
Cirrus Search
The default search in mediawiki does exact matching, but doesn't to lexicographical searches. We have Cirrus Search installed, along with indexing daemons that run nightly on the mediawiki server.
Visual Editor
The Visual Editor Is a feature Media Wiki has been working on for a while, but still isn't perfect. Most notably it breaks pretty hard on Equipment Pages.
The parsoid daemon is currently offline
Technical

- Hosted at https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org

LDAP Authentication
The LdapAuthentication plugin hasn't had a real update since 2012. I needed to make this change: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Sl9i17el9a1g9tv1&topic_showPostId=sm0okbrd7fjrprxb#flow-post-sm0okbrd7fjrprxb to get the plugin to work again.
Mediawiki Job Queue
The mediawiki Job Queue handles things like propagating template changes, link changes, search changes, etc. These operations can be slow, and the wiku runs 1 job per pageload. There is also a systemd timer that clears the job queue during off peak hours.
