gctools-outilsgc / gcpedia

A wiki based on MediaWiki

GCpedia

Master branch: Dockerfile and customizations off mediawiki 1.30 for GCwiki.

GCpedia branch: current GCpedia production

Both branches include Dockerfiles to build docker images as well as docker compose files for both docker-compose and docker stack/swarm

The main Dockerfile is alpine linux-based, an ubuntu-based one is also available.

Dev install

Easy way: clone the repo, run

docker-compose up

add an entry into your hosts file for

<host ip> wiki.local

and you now have a fully installed instance of the wiki (visual editor service extra, needs at bit more work) that you can reach at wiki.local!

This setup will also reflect any changes that you make to the code you just pulled without needing to do anything extra.

gcpedia's Issues

Delete orphan files from GCpedia

GCpedia ROT - deleted all orphan files from GCpedia.
GCpedia admins should be able to run the script to perform the ROT exercise themselves.

We need a script to clean up files that are not being used anywhere (orphan files).

1. Bot will find files
2. File will be added to the category "marked for deletion", which will add a message on the file page that the file is marked for deletion. The message will stay on the page for 2 weeks.
3. The admin will go back and delete all the files (with one click!) that still have the category associated to it, and deleted the files permanently.

prevent users from more than one account

To prevent or reduce users setting up a second account, a feature that would warn a person that an account already exists with the same Firstname and Lastname and then show the email and ask if this is them. If so, they would immediately be able to change their email address.
If not, they would be able to create the account.

Too many old, dead accounts.
Saves us mainually looking for dual accounts.
People who are transitioning to Canada.ca are creating new accounts. This will smooth the process.

gcpedia: A live stream side bar (almost like the live stream of the wire) for pages with a lot of recent activity or most frequently searched groups of the week.

New Feature Request
As a Super User, I need A live stream side bar (almost like the live stream of the wire) for pages with a lot of recent activity or most frequently searched groups of the week. because When onboarding users they usually say that they don't use the told because they don't know what to use them for. There is a lot of information on GCpedia and users don't know what to look for if they don't know what is out there. Having a stream of most popular pages and activity will bring content to the user, thus making the use of GCpedia more appealing

New Feature Request
As a Regular User, I need I'd like us to investigate the option of generating and rendering RSS feeds from GCpedia. More precisely, to install Extension:RSS and Extension:WikiArticleFeeds. because As My GCHR reviews its web/GCtools approach to better communicate with its 55,500+ users, we'd like to be able to communicate short/timely message (service interruption, important notifications) via RSS on GCintranet, GCconnex and GCpedia. While GCintranet and GCconnex supports RSS, GCpedia doesn't.
In an ideal world (you'll see i'm not too hard to please), I'd update the feed once and the message would go up via RSS on all our platforms. Extension:RSS would render the latest message in the feed. Extention:WikiArticleFeeds would allow us to turn our NewsaboutMyGCHR template into the feed. As we are not the publisher for GCintranet, we don't want to wait 48 hours to update our website with a service status message that is probably no longer relevant.

GCpedia to Fandom Wikia

PS: Fandom Wikia can't be seen on TBS machines.

Fandom Wikia is a really easy to edit Open Source Feature. It's really well made and looks fantastic. Here's a list of page that use this feature : http://fandom.wikia.com/explore

I've created an account to try it out and edit page myself. Their Visual Editor is wonderful and really user friendly. Everything you create in the Visual Editor can be toggle to Wiki code.

Visual Editor:

Wiki Code:

It has a huge list of templates and custom info boxs:

Adding an image to an info box is simple:

It has the Drag and drop feature:

I think that if we have this for our GCpedia, our new users would understand a lot more, because it's user friendly instead of programmer friendly. We would get less help desk tickets, because it's intuitive and our help page would be shorter and focused on experienced users.

Here the code:

typo in the french notification message

In the notification for a page or a discussion in french it should read la page ou la discussion a été mise à jour ( so we should add the e after mis ) but if it is for a blog post there will be no need for the e.

Ability to archive pages

GCpedia ROT - mark pages as "archived" from the GCpedia Main name space.
GCpedia admins should be able to run a script to mark pages as Archived.

We need a script to mark pages as "Archived" and make them read only.
1.Bot will find pages marked "archived" (could use the template {{Archived}})
2.File will be added to the category "Archived" (within a new name space "Archived"), which will

• add the word Archived to the page title
• make the page read only
• add a message on the page saying:
  EN: "Page Archived. Information identified as archived on GCpedia is for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It has not been altered or updated after the date of archiving. This page is an archived record and is no longer being kept up to date"
  FR: Page archivée. l'information archivée sur GCpédia pour des fins de consultation, de recherche ou de tenue de documents. Cette page n'a aucunement été modifiée ni mise à jour depuis sa date de mise en archive."

user asking if he can bulk upload documents on GCpedia

more precisely: he woudl like the html2wiki extension installed https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Html2Wiki
the question was forwarded to Ilia and here is the response we got : “The closest we have right now is the visual editor’s parser, which does wikitext->html and html->wikitext conversion, however the suggested extension seems to be an import tool for full html web pages with images, etc.
Export/import between mediawiki wikis is quite simple, but I guess what they have can’t export in wikitext, and HTML is the only other usable export format they have available for their pages.
I’ll have to look into it more but it looks like it’ll take a bit of work to get that html import extension set up, and we’ll have to test how well it handles bulk imports.”

Thanks,

GCPedia VA Results

Ability to login from any page on GCpedia

As a frequent user of GCpedia, I get logged out of GCpedia often and when I want to modify a page or simply login, I get redirected to the login page, then to the main page of GCpedia. I need to have a "quick login" from the login link that appears at the top right corner of the page (same as GCconnex) to that I can login and stay on the same page (or be redirected to the page I was prior to logging in.

In addition, the "quick login" should automatically sign in users using the Simplified Sign-on, when the user is already connected to GCconnex.

Statistics Page Not Working in Firefox

The input fields do not have the pop-up calendar for choosing dates, and the graphs/stats do not populate.

using having issues with IE resritcting the page from running JQuery Script

The information that the user provided is very technical and i am unable to rephrase it:
I’m having a small problem with Internet Explorer restricting my page from running jQuery script. It shows a small bottom prompt that ask to allow script or ActiveX controls.Also, I’m somehow using the GCpedia’s jQuery script, because I’m using internal source:

<script src="jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>

For a new user who never allowed that kind of prompt, the page doesn’t load on GCpedia.

My colleagues says it takes around 5 minutes to load. After that, they can refresh the page and it loads instantly. Also, it save the prompt into the cookie’s cash, so it doesn’t prompt anymore.

I have to do further tests, but I found that adding these before tag and after the tag make IE force accept the script. Thing is, GCpedia doesn’t recognise tag, or is it already implicated? It is called Mark Of The Web:

I’m not sure if this is allowed / illegal or if you knew any other alternative to allow jQuery script. Without jQuery, my filter script won’t work.

This is the site:

Thanks a lot,

Search links to incorrect page when special characters displayed

This is probably more a search issue than a GCpedia issue, however, when a result show a URL in GCpedia that contains special characters, in this case É, it changes the URL (to the % or HTML equivalent value?) so that when the user clicks on the link, they're taken to a page that does not exist:

Delete pages marked for deletion

GCpedia ROT - deleted all pages marked for deletion in the GCpedia Main name space.
There are currently numerous pages marked for deletion in GCpedia (with template:delete and template:reduceROT).
GCpedia admins should be able to run the script to perform the ROT exercise themselves.

We need a script to clean up pages marked for deletion.
1.Bot will find pages
2.Page will be added to the category "marked for deletion", which will add a message on the page that the file is marked for deletion. The message will stay on the page for 2 weeks.
3.The admin will go back and delete all the pages (with one click!) that still have the category associated to it, and deleted the pages (not permanently, only normal delete).

Dynamic image resizing

Hi,

It would be great to add dynamic resizing of images in GCpedia.

It seems possible through this simple CSS adjustment:

gcpedia: One simplified button to switch languages (instead of two)

Enhancement of existing feature
As a Regular User, I need One simplified button to switch languages (instead of two) because Users don't know that one button switches the language of the sidebar and the other changes the language of the content. Since they are on 2 completely opposite sides of the webpage it gets confusing to click the language button and only have half of the page change

File Info/Download Page - Not User-friendly

When you click a link to a file that has been uploaded to GCpedia, you are brought to the file information page. This page is very daunting to non-power users, it has much information that most people wont' ever need. With all this text on this page, it is very difficult to figure out how to open the file, since the link text, if you haven't opened the file previously (which changes the link color) it is very hard to locate. There should be some visuals to guide the users to the file, perhaps a WET4 Alert, button or panel. Unnecessary language and file info could be moved to a new tab (or collapsed on page load, with the option to expand on click).

Training/Mentoring Request

Hi,

Not sure if this is appropriate to post here or not - feel free to delete if not.

I am very interested in helping fix issues and contribute to GCConnex. I have HTML, WET4, CSS and (basic) jQuery, PHP and Javascript skills.

I can easily make feature upgrades on single (static) pages, but have been having trouble figuring out how to make site-wide changes on GCConnex and GCpedia.

My Request:

Would someone be willing to train/mentor me on occasion? What I envision:
When you come on to GitHub to perform upgrades or to fix issues listed on GitHub, you would be able to share your screen with me via webex, and simply talk through the process of what changes you are making. Maybe even allow me to ask some questions.

I wouldn't want to be a hindrance, but I would find great value in being able to watch some of you work your magic.

If anyone would be willing to do this for me, please let me know. I'd be so happy to learn more about the inner workings of GCConnex, and intend to pay back to the community once I can figure out how to make my upgrades/features available site-wide.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to consider this!

Unable to proceed with Email address confirmation

A user was prompted to confirm his email address before being able to proceed with login in to GCpedia. After clicking on T&Cs (Step 1) and updating his E-mail (Step 2), the Proceed button is still disabled (unable to click on the Proceed button to continue.

After refreshing the page (using the refresh arrow or CTRL+F5), the confirmation screen appeared.

We need to fix the Proceed button to ensure it's easy for users to confirm their email address, without having them guess they need to refresh the page.

Personal Sandbox Is Difficult to Find/Create

I've noticed that the GCpedia sandbox keeps losing the disclaimer text at the top. It's pretty useful, since it contains the link to let people get their own personal sandbox (and it's really not easy to do it any other way).

When people go in to edit the sandbox, they often just overwrite everything there (including the page disclaimer that says "do not delete this section"). I've gone in a bunch of times over the past 3 years and re-posted the disclaimer, but it's not ideal by any means. And whenever I send new GCpedians to the sandbox so they can get their own personal sandbox, the link is never there.

We should either protect the disclaimer section, or add a non-editable HTML section to the sandbox page template to make sure the disclaimer stays there. It would be ideal if it was part of the page template (ie, the menus, headers, or footers) so that when people click to edit the page, the disclaimer area doesn't show up in the "edit" section. And it's not so much the disclaimer that's important (since if it's not editable anymore, you wouldn't need the disclaimer), it's really the link to get your own sandbox that's important.

Another option would be to have a permanent link in the Left-hand menu called "My sandbox".

Hide VisualEditor warning "IE 11 browser not officially supported"

Hi,

I don't use Internet Explorer myself but I've been told that when you use IE 11 to edit a page with the default VisualEditor mode, it shows a warning at the top right "You are using a browser which is not officially supported by this editor."

If IE 11 has shown to work well nonetheless, I propose that you hide this warning as this could affect user's confidence in the platform.

Thanks!

Here are quickly 3 different type of navbar that I had in mind:
