This page is a wishlist of things that would be nice to have on this wiki. There are a few things that aren't immediately needed, but it might be nice to have, and others depend on the security of the site. Max has got to do a bunch of the stuff, unless he allows db access, which probably isn't going to happen.

Content

  • Expand the main namespace to include articles for all the major fads and YTMND sites without forking them from the fads list. YTMND is not Wikipedia after all and "This comes from Wikipedia/Fadwiki" messages look ghey.
  • Try to explain why a fad is funny to newcomers. Some (lots) of people look at these YTMND and either don't get the joke, or don't know why they're funny.

Aesthetic

  • Make skin of the site look like the main YTMND site (see MediaWiki talk:Monobook.css), and when the new skin comes out, that too.
  • Get fonts to match YTMND's, so it may integrate nicely. The headings and such should be capitalized, if possible, and the font to match up with the main site's

Technical (requires db access)

Changes to LocalSettings.php

Quick and easy

Slightly longer (instructions on linked page)

  • Block open proxies so we don't get crackhead vandals.
  • Enable uploads, and link the main logo to (a protected) Image:Wiki.png
  • Set YTMND:Admin's Noticeboard to be read only by sysops, using page restrictions
  • Enable SQL queries (2) so that all this shit doesn't have to be done by Max alone (though he may want to keep it secure)
  • Get a short URL(wiki.ytmnd.com/PAGENAME, or ytmnd.com/wiki/PAGENAME, etc). For the path to be the former, http://wiki.ytmnd.com (a nsfw) needs to be deleted and the install directory
  • Enable interwiki links to Wikipedia, Fadwiki and Encyclopedia Dramatica to make the articles here more useful. There's no need to have our own personal spin on everything that might be covered elsewhere (e.g. Macaron Chacaron, linking Conan O'Brian, etc). It's time to stop raping the {{From Wikipedia}} and {{From Fadwiki}} templates.
  • Possibly create a new skin not based on monobook (see MediaWiki talk:Monobook.css), probably based on the forthcoming new layout Max is talking about. Create a [something].css skin, and/or at least enable it in LocalSettings.php so that admins can edit it.

Extensions (help)

Possibly added later, if needed
