What is the process for altering the navigation links in the left hand sidebar? - Toni Sant (talk)

URLs and Permalinks
How do we make the URLs for individual pages shorter/prettier? - Toni Sant (talk)
Can we activate redirection for non-CasE-sENsiTive titles? This is available on wikipedia - so, is it a configuration option in MediaWiki? - Toni Sant (talk)
How do we handle disambiguation, such as with Sworn Independent which is both the name of an newspaper article by Michael Bugeja and the name of a single by the band The Myth? - Toni Sant (talk)
Making it look good
We need to add a list of special characters (esp. Maltese letters) in the edit page. - Toni Sant (talk)
How do we indicate that a page is a stub? - Toni Sant (talk)
What's the best sort of 404 page we can have? - Toni Sant (talk)

- Create discussion pages (createtalk)
- Create pages (which are not discussion pages) (createpage)
- Edit pages (edit)--Toni Sant (talk) 11:05, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- Use of the write API (writeapi)

Facebook integration
We need to add a FB like box to the main page and/or to the landing page but first we must install this widget to enable the inclusion of the iframe. Width, height and connection number may need to be adjusted too. Here's the code for the M3P FB like box:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?id=151613981521442&width=570&connections=10&stream=false&header=false&height=165" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:570px; height:165px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Integrating FB ID login on the wiki is (as per Ds' suggestion) via the FBConnect extension is probably also a good idea. --Toni Sant (talk) 10:33, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
