Extensions

A few suggestions regarding extensions on the wiki:

  • The current extension we use for embedding videos seems to be out of date. EmbedVideo 1.0 embeds videos inline so we can align them in the center, unlike how the current one works (i.e. forcing you to choose left or right and adding a stupid thumbnail description below it). It also supports HD videos which is even better for videos that support it (like the Meet the Team videos).
  • CategoryTree will most definitely come in handy in organising other language pages & categories. It's used on most Wikimedia wikis as well.

Use of WebAPI

Through an extension such as External Data, we can make use of the Steam WebAPI. This will hopefully allow us to automate to a certain degree:

  • Some basic information on items/weapons
  • Loadout stats on items/weapons
  • Possible crafting information items/weapons
  • Backpack information for user pages
