As the project goes we have revisions on process. This time we want to remove the Home (Main) title in front page and should add (From Wikipiniana, the free Philippine Encyclopedia under each article titles. This is to maximize the space in front page. Here's how:following revision to not display title for main page and for the rest it will display (included also the text "From Wikipiniana, the

Wikipiniana is a project in progress and sometimes it needs to evolve in terms of interface as presentation to its user. Gus wants to redesign some part of the presentation to accommodate some pertinent informations that he wants to show on the front page. In times like this, you should be ready and make your immediate decision on how to protect your old skin template. In mediawiki, skins should

Planning the process for Wikipiniana is not easy. Content generation is something that can be described as team work. I have been to Wikipedia's pages since January this year and I can say that I have familiarized myself the in's and out of the site. I have tested all the code templates inside Wikipiniana to simulate Wikipedia so that when aggregation started no error should took place while on

I enjoy tinkering open source apps and find ways how to maximize it for future projects in mind. The exciting thing about it is when people use this apps and made some twist on its implementation. That's how I planned with our project, I use the open source MediaWiki to deploy this project. But to remind you, I have mentioned in my previous post that MediaWiki doesn't mean Wikipedia. Project

With the start of this project and thru contact works, Wikipiniana project pushes through with much excitements. The initial outcome of articles being generated left and right created a headache to our in-house editors. They are in limbo in organizing these articles not because they are overwhelm but the fact that they don't have the exact grasp of the wiki technology.I have laid down the

Last March 15, the debates ended and was given the go signal to proceed to our crazy ideas (me and gus understand that). I have been given the go signal to proceed with the content generation for Wikipiniana. I have operated an outsourcing company composed of 100 people who don't have an account yet. Meaning they are buffers for future accounts. Well, its good that the company realized that

This time, I want to discuss the user management inside a wiki site. Though you can also find this documentation in the Mediawiki site, I would like to replicate it and discuss a bit on how we implement it inside project Wikipiniana.User levelsSysopThis is the most privileged user. A user marked as 'sysop' can delete and undelete pages, protect and unprotect pages, block and unblock IPs, issue

One of the assassins that are proliferating over the internet are "spams". It does not only invade our regular emails but also websites. Many webmasters of any social networking sites or any community based websites have experienced that attack of a robot-generated or human spamming. Now, that wiki technology is getting popular as an open site, it is a good contender of an attack. Well, to

Now, that the project is ongoing, i need to make an alternative of generating contents through an article input box. I have to admit, some wiki codes are hard to understand because it has different parameter syntax. The wiki tags sometimes are annoying and patience should be applied in order to understand it and observe how it behaves in your sandbox. After 3 attempts, I finally made it

This time i need to customized the skin of MediaWiki. My project proposal has been heard by heaven and soon to make a reality. I have to create project Wikipiniana, an encyclopedia for Pinoys. I have reservation in using same skin. Since I want something unique. I need to create one and hope i succeed.From its default installation, the entire site run in a skin called "Monobook".

After I have discussed the technology of wiki, I think, it's about time to make something out of it. Now, do you want to share information fast and quick? How about letting others edit the site themselves and expanded it at will. Collaboration is the name of the game. Then, try the Hawaiian word for hurry.Wiki can handle project collaboration as compared to the other Content Management System (

To benefit those who are not tech-savvy, I have encountered a very informative video about wiki. These guys from Commoncraft created the video to enable every one understand the concept of wiki in simple English. Check this out and see for yourselves.

Any online project has its technology underpinnings. Aside from its infrastructure, you have to get serious about knowing the technology. Now, many of you might think of the word "wiki" as Wikipedia. But wiki, is only a piece of open source technology. A code that is given to all developers and use it for free. This is the same software that give a phenomenal success in an online collaboration

Let start this blog by introducing what really wiki is all about and how it becomes a revolutionary application that is widely used today for collaborative work over the internet.What is a Wiki?A Wiki is a piece of server software that allows community members to quickly and easily create and edit articles.

Wikiboy is a blog on my adventure to the wikiworld. A world where everything is not perfect and subject for constant change. Wiki as everyone knows is open, free and inviting participative work to build a particular online project fast and easy.Why Im doing this? It is because I am building a wiki project. A sort of wikipedia thing but being pinoy in context. So why build another if there's an
