It took a bit of doing, but we finally got the site to use Simple URLs instead of that ugly title=[Page Name] on our MediaWiki (The Pet Wiki) based site. It wasn’t that difficult after we found the solution, but it took a ton of time to find it. Since the site is on GoDaddy, we […]
So cool. Almost everything that you can think about someone has already developed for the MediaWiki. The MediaWiki is so incredibly powerful. The lastest thing that we added to the The Pet Wiki has been a way to comments on pages. After adding the extension for the comments, you need to add <comments/> to the Wikitext of the page. […]
I got my mom a book on cat breeds to help her out with some of the details. There are some new breeds in there that I’ve never heard of. Apparently neither has Wikipedia. I think that’s kind of cool, that The Pet Wiki has stuff that isn’t in Wikipedia yet. If you want to […]
My mom found some new breeds of cats to write about, but we can’t find any pictures that are free to license. If anyone has any picture of a Cymric cat that they’d like to donate to a worth cause, please let me know. The pages of The Pet Wiki look so much better when we […]
We added an extension to The Pet Wiki which allows users to embed videos into the pages. I’ve started adding a few on some of the cat pages. Finding the videos is the time consuming part. It takes time to watch them to know if they are appropriate. Although the work is very time consuming, at least […]
Sure, there are a ton of dog breeds out there. The last one that she added to The Pet Wiki, was the Tibetan Mastiff. It’s an animal that is used to guard whole villages. I’ve seen books that have over 300 hundred different breeds, and that didn’t include some of those newer breeds, like Papipoo […]
Since my mother has completed writing entries for the top 50 dog breeds, she’s had to come up with new things to write for The Pet Wiki. I have never heard of a dog called a Vizsla. She has. She’s written a very interesting page for them. If I hadn’t seen it on Wikipedia, I’m […]
My mom has really been at it. She has writen all the base content for The Pet Wiki. If you want to know anything about a Talking Mynah, or a Ferret or a Kingsnake, her site is the place to go. What’s up next? She has started writing pages for dog pet care. After that, […]
Although the process seemed to take forever, the dog pictures have all been added. All the pictures on the site are either from the Creative Commons or are copyright free. There are places where you can buy images on line for a couple of dollars each, but if you want a lot of pictures, it […]
The latest addition to the The Pet Wiki: a little button next to every title to make social bookmark the page really easy. This makes it much easier for people to add links to the site. If someone wanted to let others know about an American Cocker Spaniel, all they need to do is go […]
