quick tests and anything else

Quick reference for tonight's work

• Help:Redirects (mediawiki page)
• Help:Categories (mediawiki page)
• Help:Templates (mediawiki page)
• Help:Formatting (mediawiki page)

• Learn about categories
  • think about the example of the wood lathe and all the hand tools - this should be in woodworking, and the hand tools should be a sub category
  • if zones are categories, then a tool can be in a zone, and looking up the zone page would list all the tools in that area.
• ideas for tool categories
  • purpose / use case:
    • Tools (change materials)
    • measuring/marking (used but don't alter)
    • materials (consumed by process) maybe link to MSDS and have notices about places they should not be used
  • level of training required for tool:
    • certification (laser, cnc mill)
    • familiarity (table saw, ?3d printer, sewing machine) ?should we have wiki tutorials for these?
    • safety aware (hammer, drill, Dremel tool?)

• Learn about templates - PS1 example
  • please limit the use of inline html and css to templates
  • pay special attention to noinclude, includeonly, and onlyinclude. This is how you show what parts of the page should be transcluded vs ignored when the template is called.

to do / goals

• create a “edit primer” focused on essential markup. Link to another page for more complex topics

infobox testing

TrialInfobox

it looks like complex infoboxes are built with Scribunto extension using LUA scripting language.

there may be a way to use a css class and the skin, mediawiki's native programming hooks (like OutputPageBeforeHTML), or a plugin to properly position the info box.

currently using inline CSS doesn't allow for reflowing of text around the box, so on smaller devices it may cause problems.
