Problems in the Wiki
There had been 3 outstanding problems with the Wiki:
- In the default MonoBook skin its index.php has in its there is a reference to " '<img src="http://www.cruiserswiki.com/images/f/fe/Creativecommons.png" alt="C.C. 3.0 License" width="88" height="31"></a>'. This is wrong the image file should be http://www.cruiserswiki.org/images/f/fe/Creativecommons.png.
- The "MapTech" reference for a Chartlet has stopped working and it now links to the useless My Topo. These now false "MapTech" links are in the majority of the Wiki pages. A substitute has to be found.
- The http://www.cruiserswiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload link on all of the http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/File:xx pages although it uploads a new version of a file it does not update the page until a day or two later. It looks that this problem is related with Varnish caching.
- Our Wiki should be upgraded to the most recent MediaWiki version 1.24.1.
The issue #1 is not fixed yet in the Monobook skin per se, but Vadim had made a workaround for it which seems to work quite well in JavaScript-enabled browsers.
On the "MapTech" problem Vadim worked to implement the free Navionics web API (Istioploos has obtained a license from them) and making an appropriate CSS, Javascript, and an embeddable template. Again Vadim did the bulk of the creative work. The beauty of this approach is that once the {{Chartlet link}} is used it very easily be made to use another chartlet instead of the Navionics. As an extra Vadim also made it dual {{Gallery link}} which now points to Panoramio. So, #2 is also done.
