This meta space for ICANNWiki Development is aimed at coordinating tasks between different developers and contributors. It is not intended to be directly edited by the broader public, but all users are encouraged to follow it and provide input to the plans laid out here.
Backend development edit
| Task | Description | Status | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Improve Lingo extension implementation | Monitor and improve the extension's function on mobile; disable it when within the article that defines the concept; make it work with plurals; overflow to the left if on page's edge; |
Ongoing | User:MarkWD |
| Category:Articles to be expanded -> Template:Articles needing attention | Migration | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Fix "CiteThisPage" extension | Remove inwiki links to reference styles or make the links outbound | Not started | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Rebuild Sponsorship page | Sponsorship Options Needs to be retooled to work with mobile and be updated to current projects goals. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Implement a solution for dynamic graphs display | This would be handled by the "Graphs" extension, except it is completely broken as of 2024[1][2]. A custom implementation can be worked out, but needs to be planned properly. | Not started | User:MarkWD & User:MarkAHershberger |
| Add Extension:Popups | This extension allows for Reference Previews to operate, which will enhance the wiki's organization. | Not started | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Add Extension:CodeMirror | This extension improves the experience of source editing and will benefit more advanced users. | Not started | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Create "Curated page" template | We need a template to indicate protected pages that are only editable by admins due to content curation reasons. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Check parsing of desirable functions in Templates | Understand why {{#ifeq:{{#sub:{{PAGENAME}}|0|1}}|.|{{#sub:{{PAGENAME}}|1}}|{{PAGENAME}}}} still passes the dot to the final address. | Not started | User:MarkWD & User:MarkAHershberger |
| Rethink and fix nTLDStats data integration | Find a new way to correctly integrate nTLDStats into the wiki, if desirable. | Not started | User:Ray & User:MarkWD & User:MarkAHershberger |
| Analyze Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector and Extension:Translate | It is unclear how this extension interacts with our wiki and with our implementation of multiple languages in general. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Study and categorize our existing Namespaces | Help:Namespaces | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Study and document Extension:Page Schemas | Extension:Page Schemas | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Implement Extension:PageNotice where appropriate | After review of Namespaces. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Scope displaying a random card from ICANNWiki decks within a box | To make good use of our cards, we could display a random card at the portal towards one of the top corners, dynamically changing it with every user visit. How to execute this is unclear and will require scoping. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Implement Template:About | [3] | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Add licenses to the file uploader | Our file uploader currently doesn't have any licenses in its combo box for users to choose, which is problematic. See MediaWiki:Licenses. | Not started | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Clarify protection policies | Inspired by Wikipedia: [4] | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Fix "HotCat" extension error | Using "HotCat" to categorize a page from its bottom bar consistently throws the user to an edit page containing "It appears that your browser does not support Unicode. It is required to edit pages, so your edit was not saved." However, it does work otherwise, so it's probably an exception that needs to be caught. | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Update backend to latest MediaWiki version | Get the wiki to latest long term support version in order to benefit from updated resources, such as new API calls, modernized skins, and bug fixes. | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Improve metadata for external links to ICANNWiki | Currently the wiki does not feature rich metadata, and when linked from the outside, it produces only an ICANN logo. Solvable with: [5]. | DONE | User:MarkWD & User:MarkAHershberger |
| Add dark theme | Dark mode is a modern option preferred by many tech workers. It is now fully implemented in a series of ways, though not directly in Vector. We should implement it as a toggle in the wiki's top bar. We just need to choose one of the four approaches available: Manual:Dark_mode | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger & User:MarkWD |
| Remove deprecated "Badge" link from "mw-head" | Apparently only removable from the PHP side. | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Check and fix Common.js | The calls being made seem to be problematic and outdated to some degree. | DONE | User:MarkWD & User:MarkAHershberger |
| Implement "Lingo" extension | "Lingo" is a stable and well-maintained extension that enables word definition on hover for admin-defined terms on all pages. For a heavy acronym space like ICANN, this is much more desirable than forcing users to open multiple tabs to be able to read an article. Available at: [6] | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Align mobile and desktop CSS | Make them similar even if not the same. | DONE | User:MarkWD |
| Re-code Sponsors template | The current template has a hard-coded implementation that doesn't scale correctly. | DONE | User:MarkWD |
| Remove "Mailing List" from sidebar | The mailing list doesn't exist anymore and leads to a 404. | DONE | User:MarkWD |
| Extensions for removal | Collection, Poem | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Extend user session login | Accounts get logged out even upon electing to keep the session logged in. This limits user engagement and should be fixed. | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger |
| Reconfigure or remove Extension:MobileFrontend | This extension doesn't appear to have a front-facing configuration page at the moment, meaning that it hijacks the mobile layout to a pretty barebones one. | DONE | User:MarkAHershberger & User:MarkWD |
| Enable in-wiki playback of audio and video files | EmbedVideo documentation and testing. | DONE | User:MarkWD |
| Fix main page for mobile view | Main page overflows incorrectly due to hard coding. | DONE | User:MarkWD |
Content development edit
For existing documentation, see: Meta:ICANNWiki Content Planning.
| Task | Description | Status | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individualization of ccTLD pages | There is great inconsistency in how ccTLDs are represented, some by their TLD, while others are just redirects to their managers. Each ccTLD should have an article standing by itself. | Ongoing | User:Christiane |
| Revision of templates for function, accuracy and relevance. Done: Template:TLD. | Ongoing | User:MarkWD | |
| Evaluate and organize categories | An excess of categories has proliferated over the years, many irrelevant or orphaned. The wiki needs to be organized in this area in order to increase its relevance. | Ongoing | User:Christiane |
| Validate and replace reference links for WebArchive permanent versions | As time goes by, reference links become dead and we lose track of their validation of information presented on the wiki. An effort needs to be carried out to replace these references with more permanent versions or even host local copies. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Permanent copies of Internet Governance documentation: Internet Governance Atheneum | ICANNWiki should aim to become a neutral repository of documents that inform Internet Governance history, including PDFs, images, mailing list excerpts, and so on. | Not started | User:Christiane & User:MarkWD |
| Rethink logo | The proportions of the current logo are arbitrary and make it difficult to integrate into layouts that expect wide or square aspects. A study needs to be carried out to define potential modernized looks. | Not started | User:MarkWD & User:Ray |
| Celebration of 20 Years of ICANNWiki | The wiki completes 20 years of activity in 2025, making that general date perfect to carry out a campaign. | Ongoing | User:Christiane & User:MarkWD & User:Ray |
| Finish ICANNWiki feature documentation | As soon as the wiki is updated to the latest version, all outstanding feature documentation needs to be consolidated to Meta:ICANNWiki Content Planning | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Create a world map correlating with ccTLD articles | For a more visual and interactive experience for readers. | Not started | User:MarkWD |
| Migrate Category:TLD to Category:GTLD and direct outstanding article | As we have a fully formed ccTLD category, TLD needs to be repurposed for what it actually is, which is a list of gTLDs. | ONGOING | User:MarkWD |
| Standardization and documentation of ICANNWiki practices | The wiki does not have consistency over nomenclatures, formats, and presentation. This includes acronyms, redirects, article structure, and so on. | DONE | User:Christiane |
| Content plan: Phase 1 | Content plan to steer the community in a clear direction based on the identified needs of the wiki. | DONE | User:Christiane & User:MarkWD |
| Implement templates for special article states | Template:Major articles parallel with Wikipedia, Template:Articles needing attention, Template:Candidates for deletion. | DONE | User:MarkWD |
| Redesign main page | Redefine the purpose of the main page and ensure that it reflects the goals of the content plan. | DONE | User:MarkWD & User:Ray |
| Toolset for content analysis | Set of Python tools to enable better understanding of the wiki's structure, existing content, gaps, and other useful metrics. | DONE | User:MarkWD & User:Christiane |
