Instructions for use

for administrators

• Before importing templates or modules through either
  • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Export
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Special:Export
  • https://wikisource.org/wiki/Special:Export
  and so on, please import on another test wiki database on the same server, with the same LocalSettings.php, because the import might fail (for instance importing Module:TNT from wikipedia instead than from mediawiki) due to Lua script parsing.

• added parser functions: #userAffiliatedTo and #userRealName, the first returns the organization to which the logged in user is affiliated and the second the user real name. This is used for instance in forms, to allow the user to appear as affiliated to his/her organization when contributing to some common contents, and more.

• Once that an organization is added, create an entry in LocalSettins.php like

   $wgGroupPermissions['memberof_{organization name}']['edit'] = false;

  where {organization name} should be replaced with the organization name with spaces replaced by underscores, and the user affiliated to the organization should be added to a group with edit rights and to such group ('memberof_{organization name}')

• uploadApi (file includes/api/ApiUpload.php) on upload, the filename of uploaded file is prefixed with the name of the organization to which the logged in user if affiliated. The same applies, as above, to pictures uploaded through PageForms.
  • todo: update PageForms uploaded picture preview searching class "simpleupload_prv"

• protected from editing when the logged in user is not an administrator and the edited page or subpage does not belong to the organization to which he or she is not affiliated. We are using the extension "Abuse filter" with a custom filter at the moment based on a group in which users affiliated to organizations are inserted after subscription

For users

Regular users (authorized people from centers of Italian culture and language) can have a page in the form https://culturaitalian.org/wiki/[language]/[name of center] and whatever subpage within it. A subpage is a page below the main page after the slash, for instance https://culturaitalian.org/wiki/[language]/[name of center]/articles and they can be arbitrarily nested.

Other pages or subpages of this wiki are protected from editing when they do not belong to the organization to which the logged in user is affiliated. An exception, are the contents created using the forms "Add announcement", "Add book suggestion", or any other content created by forms. (i.e., not through the standard buttons "edit" or "edit source" button on the page). If you wish to edit the common pages and to collaborate with this platform further, just join our team using this form!
