WikiIslam:Sandbox/WikiIslam:Setting up a new WikiIslam subdomain
|
These are the steps for setting up a new WikiIslam subdomain.
- Setup the subdomain URL, databases, files, cache directories. Follow the same subdomain shortform that Wikipedia uses (for example bg for Bulgarian)
- Modify the logo from the original PSD file (needs a translation of the site's name and the tag line)
- Translate interface messages in "extensions/EditMonitor/EditMonitor.i18n.php" and "extensions/RecentChangesCleanup/RecentChangesCleanup.i18n.php". Upload the modified files.
- Create any number of temporary pages that will be helpful for you in creating and setting up the site
- Create Administrator accounts at the new site and give them rights (Editor, Reviewer and em-bypass-2. Use em-bypass-1 for new users that join the site later)
- Create a page for Administrators (such as WikiIslam:Administrators) that has relevant information and links to frequently edited files or content for Administrative use. You can include shortcuts to the links mentioned on this page.
- Edit these pages for the subdomain: MediaWiki:Sidebar, MediaWiki:Rclinks
- Start moving content into the subdomain
- Update links on translated articles on other language domains
- After the site is ready, link the site on MediaWiki:Sidebar for other subdomains. Also edit WikiIslam to link the new site.
