DETAILS

A. Using MediaWiki Subpages

We use MediaWiki Subpages as it enables a variety of navigation features, breadcrumbs, as well as URL structure.

Setting up a Namespace along with the Subpages allows the URL to have the naming needed.

SW and LO can setup Pages needed to setup Subpage structure.

  • Create Namespace IPCC
  • Enable Subpages for Namespace

Namespace and Subpage use affects the URL structure.

What was IPCC:Syr:Longer-report needs to become IPCC:AR6/SYR/Longer-Report

It is understood that pywikibot can be scripted to configure Namespace and Subpage (Subpages are set vey simply by setting the URL to have appropriate paths). `

  • Get rid of "IPCC" in the URLs (this will be provided from the namespace)
  • Instead, add "AR6"
  • Change spelling for report abbrevations to uppercase and: SYR, WGI, WGII, WGIII, SR15, SRCCL, SROCC
  • Get rid of "Chapter"
  • Use forward slashes instead of colons

B. Report navigation (Previous | Next | Top)

C. Standard MediaWiki configs:

  • SW setup MediaWiki Templates and Categories
  • Include named remplates on pywikibot import. Minimum there would be one template for all imports, unless Naviation template requires a template per report.
  • Include Categories on import. These will be IPCC, AR6

D. Copyright notices:

  • SW needs to setup configuration templates in MediaWiki for Pages and Files.

E. Assets:

  • SW to set the desired Image page display confuration.

F. MediaWiki/Wikibase config:

  • Assign MediaWiki Pages 'sitelink' information in Page Information to uniquely link Pages to Wikibase items. There is a functionality of MediaWiki/Wikibase called Sitelinks, it allows the allocation of a MediaWiki Page to a Wikimedia Item as a unique connection. This allows the inclusion of metadata in inforboxes on the MediaWiki Pages, etc.
