Mediawiki Notes
From Claygate
Calendar
- The Week Numbers start on the Monday and end on the Sunday.
- But the implementation on MediaWiki is that Sunday is Day 0 of the week and Saturday Day 6.
British Summer Time etc
- As a workaround, the time zone is set in Localsettings.php as Dublin during British Summer Time.
- Return it to London when the clocks go back.
Mobile considerations
- The use of tables means wide, mobile-phobic pages.
- Tables result in their text contents often appearing in small font.
- The use of ; and : result in small font on mobile phones, whereas * does not.
HTML glitches
- If you cannot pass an '=' (equals sign) as a parameter, replace the = with %3D
Start new section of a page without interference from images above
Include the line:
<div style="clear: both"></div>
