Move stuff in huggle docs into small number of large pages
Open, LowestPublic

Description

Right now huggle manual at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle contains horrid number of subpages that users need to click through, which is horrid, believe me.

For this task, you need to have some understanding of how to organize information and documentation. You must also have some basic knowledge of editing wiki pages - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Editing

It would be much more easy for user to navigate through manual, if most of stuff was on 1 large web page (via anchor links), with index (table of contents). The current layout can stay but we would link to sections on that 1 page instead of many small pages.

Any contributor working on this might want to create a proposal on a personal wikipage (e.g. a subpage under your wiki user page on mediawiki.org) and get some feedback from the mentors of this task, before actually editing/overwriting the current page (and potentially redirecting some subpages whose content is now included in the main page).

Hi @Petrb
Can you please add me as a co-mentor for this task on the application system?

This task is not yet in code-in, if you can, please add it there!

What exactly is needed of this task?

If you open https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle you will see there is huge amount of extremely small pages.

Basically, it would be great if someone completely rewrote the manual in a way, that there would be only few, or just one big page that covers everything.

Unassigning this task as I have not seen much progress. Nothing against Matthew, just that we want this task to be available for a contributor in Google Code-In.

Haven't seen any movement on the Google Code-In front for about 10 months. I'm going to re-claim the task as part of my work on T67952: Update manual for Huggle to contain stuff for HG 3

Haven't seen any movement on the Google Code-In front for about 10 months.

As GCI is a 7 week long contest, GCI 2015 ended in January 2016. GCI 2016 is around the corner.

Can I mentor this task this year for Google Code-in?

If @Petrb is fine with this being a GCI task (and willing to co-mentor), sure. :)

Remove myself from assignee due to Google-Code-In-2016

I want to do this task. Please assign it to me.
Thanks

Sir, I have edited the page .
Please review it and must tell if it require any more modification.

@meets2tarun: I cannot judge this, but currently https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle misses a Table of Contents and at the top still links to the subpages whose content is now duplicated on the main page and hence will get out of sync soon. Also, there are duplicated translation markers, and I highly recommend to do small edits and actually using the Edit Summary field to explain which page what comes from. (I'm afraid these two edits might get reverted.)

@Aklapper I want to mentor this task in GCI-2016 .

I am ready to mentor this task in Google-Code-in-2017

Unassigned per GCI Wikimedia guidelines for tasks

I am slightly confused, you said you fixed this task and now you want to mentor it? So I suppose this task is not fixed?

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Huggle still look like an index for big amount of tiny subpages, so I suppose it's not done, importing to GCI

Aklapper moved this task from Proposed tasks to Imported in GCI Site on the Google-Code-in-2017 board.

Let's keep this open until it is actually fixed. :)

@Aklapper Since I already worked on this task last year and I have a brief idea about the markup and translation used. But due to some issue that time, my changes were reverted. So I request you that may I mentor this task in the upcoming GCI?

@Petrb , do you think some of the information at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Download should be included into the new revise manual ?
Otherwise the enwp and meta versions have two distinct sets of information about installation methods.

Hello @Aklapper and @Petrb, I've made a draft of the manual here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Eisheeta/Sandbox/Manual:Huggle
It'd be great if you could let me know if this is okay, or if it requires more changes.

Thank you!

@TerraCodes @Aklapper Can I add this as a Google Summer of Docs task. would love to complete this.

I'm a translation admin on mediawiki - let me know if you need any pages re-marked for translation / help setting them up for translation

Petrb removed Petrb as the assignee of this task.Mar 25 2020, 12:01 AM

I am a new contributor here. I would like to work on this task. Could I have a detailed description regarding the same? Also could anyone mentor me for the same?

I would like to work on this task, but I am new to open source. Can I have some guidance regarding the same?

@Marteeen.deep: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!
