Adding Ability To Visually Edit Page (by adding VisualEditor extension)
Suggested By: shalsey

Date: 6th September 2020

Executed by: mistic192 (confirmed to work now )

Currently when you edit a page on the Rebel Wisdom Wiki at https://rebelwisdom.miraheze.org you have to edit it using the MediaWiki markup language which may be a bit intimidating for some non-technical users.

There is an extension to the MediaWiki software that runs the Rebel Wisdom Wiki site called VisualEditor, which gives a WYSIWG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which is much nicer. This is the one WikiPedia uses by default.

This can be enabled by any Admin user of the Wiki by reading:-

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/FAQ#Do_I_need_to_learn_MediaWiki.3F

and then going to:-

https://rebelwisdom.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:ManageWiki/extensions

and ticking VisualEditor extension. Please add a comment to this page once you've done it, and then this suggestion can be deleted after a bit (as it will be redundant!)

Setting Wiki Domain To wiki.rebelwisdom.co.uk
Suggested By: Shalsey

Not sure if this should wait until the Wiki is less experimental / more established, but the wiki could be set up to run on https://wiki.rebelwisdom.co.uk instead of its current https://rebelwisdom.miraheze.org address.

The instructions are at https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Custom_domains Not sure if it's technically difficult or costs any money?

Fixing The Inaccurate Edit Notice On The Main Page
If you click Edit on the Main Page you get a notice saying "Warning: This page has been protected so that only users with administrator privileges can edit it.":-

...but you can carry on editing and save your changes, and so this is just wrong. This is probably because of some incorrect setting on the Wiki - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Edit_notice  Not a big problem, but could be nice to fix...
