MediaWiki - wiki.transitionnetwork.org
Documentation for the wiki.transitionnetwork.org server which is running MediaWiki on PenguinServer.
The site is now running the latest version of Mediawiki, it was upgraded to 1.22.5 on ticket:706 to enable the new VisualEditor to be used, prior to this the site was running the long term support version of Mediawiki, see ticket:455 and also see the install notes on ticket:357#comment:10 and ticket:470#comment:10 login is via HTTPS.
Parsoid
The new MediaWiki visual editor: Parsoid: How Wikipedia catches up with the web:
Parsoid is implemented as a node.js-based web service. There are two distinct, and somewhat independent pieces to Parsoid: the parser and runtime that converts Wikitext to HTML, and the serializer that converts HTML to Wikitext.
As part of the upgrade to 1.22.5 a Parsoid server was installed and then on ticket:736#comment:6 we changed to using a deb repo for updating parsoid and then on ticket:799#comment:11 we switched to using a remote Parsoid server as the latest version of Parsoid didn't work on Debian Wheezy.
When we has Parsoid installed on PenguinServer we used these commands to start and stop the node.js service:
/etc/init.d/parsoid stop /etc/init.d/parsoid start
The service was run via the /etc/init.d/pslparsoid script, see ticket:706#comment:12 for the source of the pslparsoid init.d script, until we switched to the Debian version.
