This is a list of the extensions that are actively being used on Puzzle Wiki: |
|||
'''[[Special:ReplaceText|ReplaceText]]''' - Use this to perform useful find-and-replace operations: |
|||
* Page name corrections - Replace "<code><nowiki>[[Page Name]]</nowiki></code>" with "<code><nowiki>[[New page name]]</nowiki></code>" to correct links to moved pages without needing redirects. Also may need to replace "<code><nowiki>[[Page Name|</nowiki></code>" with "<code><nowiki>[[New page name|</nowiki></code>" for completeness. |
|||
* '''[[Special:MassEditRegex|MassEditRegex]]''' - Replacement for ReplaceText, which became unusable after Miraheze enabled $wgCompressRevisions for all wikis. For instructions on how to use this extension, see [https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/User:Dimpizzy/MassEditRegex_Guide this guide on Miraheze]. |
|||
* URL changes - Replace "https://www.bookspace.world/" with "https://puzzles.mit.edu/2022/" when a hunt gets relocated |
|||
** <s>'''[[Special:ReplaceText|ReplaceText]]''' - Used to correct links after page moves, or hunt URL relocations.</s> |
|||
* Only members of the "<code>sysop</code>" user group have access to Replace Text functionality, replacements are case-sensitive, and after pressing Continue, all matching replacements are presented to the user for review and manual unselection before confirmation to be queued for processing. |
|||
* '''DisplayTitle''' - Used to automatically format puzzle pages to display in a "<code>Puzzle name (Hunt name)</code>" format in page titles, search results and Category listings, regardless of chosen URL and naming conventions ([[Template:Puzzle]] for details) |
|||
* '''Cargo''' - An extension allowing for building and querying DB with SQL-like power. Currently we use this to store past hunt leaderboards to crossreference with teams, but additional functionalities can be suggested. |
