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
As part of the upgrade to 1.22.5 a Parsoid server was installed, see 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.
To start and stop the node.js service:
/etc/init.d/pslparsoid stop /etc/init.d/pslparsoid start
See ticket:706#comment:12 for the source of the pslparsoid init.d script.
