Documentation for the [https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/ wiki.transitionnetwork.org] server which is running [https://www.mediawiki.org/ 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: [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/04/parsoid-how-wikipedia-catches-up-with-the-web/ 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 [ticket:706 upgrade to 1.22.5] a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid 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 and ticket:841#comment:3 we switched to using [https://docs.webarch.net/wiki/MediaWiki#VisualEditor a remote Parsoid server] as the latest version of Parsoid didn't work on Debian Wheezy.
