  • We are moving to a new (larger) server this weekend. If all goes as expected the move should be finished by Monday. You can expect some outages during the weekend. Edits may be disabled for up to 2 days (though I hope to keep it much shorter.) I will keep you informed. URLs etc. stay the same.

  • Pages listed on WikiOrphans will now be displayed with a warning about their pending deletion.

  • Deleted about 180 inactive accounts.

  • Redone layout. Should fix jerky scrolling, overlapping of content, etc. Feedback on GuineaPigsFeedback please. Clear your cache and/or force a "hard" reload (shift+reload, shift+ctrl+reload)

New feature: sidebars
Any line starting with "|>" (right) or "|<" (left) is put into a side bar.

  • you can do normal text formatting inside sidebars
  • New layout. No tables anymore. Pure CSS. Tested with Mozilla, IE5+, Opera7+, Konqueror.
    • Top bar features edit link, search box, and menus for searches and personal tools
    • Go to UserPreferences in order to change the font size.
  • Community ads are active now. Go to UserPreferences to turn them off.
  • New feature: edit sections (just like on WikiPedia). A section is anything in between two headings.
  • RSS diff links should work in most causes now. If you had troubles in the past, try again.
  • A horizontal ruler ("----" now always forces text below a diagram
  • other small improvements
  • Linear boards look nicer now:

  • The community advertisements on SL service starts. If you think your webpage/service/program qualifies just follow the directions on that page. The ads will appear as soon as we receive a sufficient amount of submissions.

2004-11-11

  • IngTiming appears to be the 10000th page on SL! Congratulations to all. (This includes discussion pages as separate pages)

2004-05-22

  • Enabled sub-pages, syntax: "basename / subpage". Links with [/subpage] possible too. See e.g. Kanazawa Problem 1
  • Added Discuss page link plus new shortcuts
  • renamed over 800 pages to make them subpages. See [ext] this list if you are interested. (Mostly renamed solution, attempt, failure, discussion, and problem pages. Some KGS pages renamed too) Cross-checking the discussion renames would be nice.
new %%TOC%% directive, see e.g. AdvancedStudySection

2004-05-18

  • New keywords: "online go", "ongoing game"
  • Pagetype "ongoing game" deleted
  • I have updated WikiOrphans which now lists also homepages which are about to be deleted
  • If you don't want to have your homepage deleted then check WikiOrphans and remove your homepage from the list (if it is listed)
  • All orphaned alias pages not marked with "keep" in WikiOrphans will be deleted by June 1st as well

2004-05-09

  • Added quick search while editing a page. I hope you find it useful.

2004-05-06

  • If you have not seen it already: you can cast your vote on the fate of discussion pages.
  • Also: Dieter calls to arms for the BQM Task Force. Join and help.

2004-03-20

  • new: password reset mechanism is in place now. This works only if you have set your email address in preferences.
  • new: "index page" keyword. I reckon that this could be a very useful keyword for the ever growing index pages for different topics on SL.
  • fix: title search should work better now (previously, e.g. searching for "3-3" yielded zero results as the '-' is not part of the pagename)

2004-01-11

  • I did some HTML fixing for lists (in nested lists <li> tags got omitted). The price to pay for HTML compliance is that if you start with a double-list (e.g. '**') you will see one (empty) level 1 list entry before your level 2 list entry.
  • For the sake of old browsers, the '>' indention is now done using <blockquote> instead of <div>. If you have a modern browser it should look the same. Old browser should see the indentation for the first time.
  • There is a new syntax for interlanguage links. There is now a french go wiki called EncyGoPedie at [ext] http://www.jeudego.info/ using the SL codebase. Use [fr:pagename] links to indicate equivalent pages there. The link will not show up on the page, but on the yellow left hand side. See this page for example. I suggest putting such links at the bottom of the page source.
  • Also, you can link to pages of EncyGoPedie using the shortcut egp as in [egp:points de depart] which produces [ext] points de depart.

2004-01-04

  • I have been working pretty hard over the recent days.
  • Major change: for users with an account RecentChanges is customizable to a great extent now. See UserPreferences. That should take care of almost every wish regarding RecentChanges.
  • Changes to edit page:
    • it now sports a timer for you to see when the 10 minutes of the "red warning for other users" are up.
    • I have reformatted the page slightly: the summary is now above, pagetitle is below the main text area; it is more likely that you write a new summary than adjusting the pagetitle.
    • You will see your previous summary when re-editing a page. Note that the pageinfos are no longer concatenated, but the one in the summary field is the one that gets stored.
  • New diff mode: diff-in-page
  • Summaries are now also shown when viewing the history of a page.
  • Watched pages can be categorized now (up to 3 categories) (only for users with an account).
  • Changes to diagrams
    • Letters in the graphics (a...z) are now bold so that they are more readable.
    • The SGF files now contain a PL[] property of the player to play.
    • Note that the above is only true for newly created (or changed) diagrams. I think that some day I will have to redo all diagrams.
  • Changes to Text Formatting Rules
    • ">" can now indent everything else (even diagrams)
    • added "comments" to wiki source. Any line starting with a single '%' is not shown when viewing a page (unless set in UserPreferences).
    • You can now refer to "point marked with square/circle" within the normal text with ES and EC: [squared point], [circled point] (short for empty+square, empty+circle)
  • Better navigation on diff, related, history pages. Also new shortcuts, see SL shortcut keys
    • Added diff link to bottom of page. You can also add a "latest diff" to your bookmarks like this: Page diff|!phpwiki:?diff=_referrer_
  • Random page is now more random: it is no longer based on creation time. Also, you can have specific random pages like random joseki page or random beginner page. I don't have a good idea yet, how to make this feature better accessible.
  • I am now writing up some documentation. If you discover errors then drop me a note on GuineaPigsFeedback.
