Talk:Wiki maintenance plan

The state wiki require some maintenance and an urgent upgrade. This page documents what needs to be done, and what should be done. There is a thread on dev (Wiki maintenance) where the decisions are made.

At the moment we have the following work list:

• Change LocalSettings.php to close for "create user" DONE
• Update UA- code for google-analyics DONE
• open for "create page" again DONE

• Check "nofollow" setting, to be sure it's on (True).
• remove accounts older than a year WITHOUT any contributions

 Scripts is being prepared, about 24.000 accounts out of 32.000 will be removed.

• remove all accounts from the time of the spam period

 Scripts are being prepared, but wait for a decision on the time period (see dev)

• create directory in SVN and save all new changes to files.

• open for create user
  • Decide on anti-spam measures for current MW version, install and set them, then open for create user.
• Clean database, for "deleted" pages, unused files.
• repair "broken redirect", "double redirect", "non categorized pages"
• Convert all pages to UTF8 (mysql),

 most pages are defined as latin1, but some have UTF8 content, this will not work after an update.

 test simple alias first

• make a test.wiki.openoffice.org, new db and new mediawiki version.
• upgrade test db.
• make all extensions work in test
• have people testing test
• Copy production db, and upgrade it
• copy test to production.
