StarterKit Essential Tasks: Customize main page
Open, MediumPublic8 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

Implement the main page customization feature for the Starterkit tool, allowing Wikipedia admins to customize their wiki's main page through a guided, modular workflow.

Key features:

  • OAuth-based admin verification against the target wiki
  • Layout selection UI where users choose focus areas and modules for their main page
  • Preview page for reviewing selected modules before publishing
  • Template transclusion from the test wiki to the target wiki based on selected layout
  • Localization support via translatewiki.net

Workflow:

  1. User enters target wiki URL
  2. OAuth redirect to verify admin privileges on the target wiki
  3. User selects layout and modules for the main page
  4. Preview and approve (or go back to edit)
  5. Publish layout to the target wiki

Does -v1 imply that there will be more and more separate repositories (and local git clone URIs to adjust) everytime the major version number gets bumped?

Hi @Aklapper. For the forseeable future, this will be the only repository for the starterkit on Gitlab. The reason v1 got added was because the inital 'starterkit' repository that was made had to be abandoned.
