History:Updating To MoinMoin 1.5

Updating to MoinMoin 1.5

Purpose

The MusicBrainzWiki is about to be updated to the current stable version of MoinMoin (1.5.x).
This page should track all issues that will be encountered in the migration, and discussion on the best way to fix them.

A testing instance of MoinMoin 1.5 is available at http://newwiki.musicbrainz.org.

The related ticket is 2320.

Issues

• TOCs are now embedded in a table: you can't have any more have a floating TOC on the right of the page (in fact you can but you must embed the TOC table in another table, but this looks ugly).
  • Example: WikiWardening / http://newwiki.musicbrainz.org/WikiWardening
  • Possible solution: use MoinMoinPatch/AlterTableOfContentsAppearanceWithStyleSheet (it should be in the official release now) to set a global style to TOCs

TODO

• change icons for interwiki and external links
• update the MusicBrainz skin
• update / clean InterWiki table
• check eventual regressions in transclusion of wikidocs
• check Cards/WikiNavCard behaviour

Interesting patches which may be applied

FeatureRequests/TableOfContentsMinDepth: allow to specify a min depth with the TableOfContents macro.

• With version 1.5, the page name is no longer automatically placed at the top as a title. So we'll have to use first-level headings to manually add a title. Problem is, that gets included in the TOC, which is not helpful.
