***A CSS to compactly display the wiki on mobile devices with small screens is missing… Please? Something like what Wikipedia has would be most welcome.
 
 
**There may be odd kinks to work out still on the website, as I do not program / have experience in PHP  (Ruby on Rails is what I do my web programming in).

**With new versions its becomes difficult to to find the topic pages for older versions. A lot of the v0.34.04 pages are empty while there is plenty of information on the v0.31.25 pages or older. Searching on a topic often gives a redirect to an empty 2012 page with no link or other easy way to get to the older version. The bot that is making the redirect pages need to include a link to the older wiki's when a page is empty or simply redirect directly to newest version that actually have content. --[[User:Hostergaard|Hostergaard]] 12:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

***This is a pretty serious impediment to basic usage of the site. There are many many common search topics that lead to these DF2012 dead end pages. A first time user of the wiki will be lost and frustrated, and even more experienced users will become grumpy. I think the best option is to have the redirect pages go to the newest version that has content, or to have all non-existant v0.34.* pages created as copies of the existing v0.31.25 page. --[[User:777|-777]] 04:53, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

**We should probably update the wiki (currently [[Special:Version|v1.17.0]]) to the latest version ([http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2012-June/000118.html v1.19.1]), or at the very least, get the latest security release for our version ([http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2012-June/000116.html v1.17.5]). I have weird issues with creating new pages, where I'll get permission errors sometimes, but if I reload the page and try again a few times, then I can create the page.  Hopefully updating will fix that.  Also, we might want to look into other anti-spammer extensions (e.g. [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Poseidon Poseidon]) and updating the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit ConfirmEdit] extension to the current version (v1.1).  -- [[User:HiEv|<span style="color:#E05858;font-weight:bold;">Hi</span>]][[User talk:HiEv|<span style="color:#C06060;font-weight:bold;">Ev</span>]] 03:35, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

*Just noticed "MEGABEAST_CAP" in my world_gen.txt file, and wanted to know if reducing it would allow me to gen a world with global population counts above 1000. But I can't find anything about it on the wiki. In fact, there's a lot of stuff in that file that I can't find info on in either "Advanced world generation" or "World tags" pages, but those are both marked "exceptional quality"... should they be?
