Hi, if you want I can create an extension which can list all wikis (it will have the same style as the current pages, it will be something like Special:ExploreOrain and Special:ExploreOrain/sort/alphabetic, etc etc. What do you think?

Explore Orain

Hi, if you want I can create an extension which can list all wikis (it will have the same style as the current pages, it will be something like Special:ExploreOrain and Special:ExploreOrain/sort/alphabetic, etc etc. What do you think? Southparkfan (talk) 11:45, 9 February 2015 (GMT)

Southparkfan: Great, that could be the way to do it, thanks!
I’m not exactly sure of how extensions and special pages work, but I think what’s important is that the individual elements remain editable on their own wiki pages, like User:Nclm/Explore Orain/Wiki item becoming an actual template (so it can be used not only there but also on user pages, etc), User:Nclm/Explore Orain/Wikis/example (and others) being actual pages (so the description can be easily edited, and the boxes are reusable), and most of the styles (.wikilist-* and inline style="" for now) could be moved into MediaWiki:Common.css.
The special page would probably generate the list of {{Wikis/example}} then? And have the header, the sorting list, and (maybe) a footer? Is that possible? :) Nclm (talk) 12:32, 9 February 2015 (GMT)
