This page is for suggestions for the wiki. If you have anything you would like to see implemented say so here, and also voice your opinions on other suggestions in the discussion page.

Ideas

• <post> Tags

This is working but needs to be made better (see the discussion)

• Often used links box.

This would a box such as the 'toolbox' on the left hand part of the page that would have links to commonly used pages such as the 'classes' page.

• Articles on the main page.

This would show a article on the Main Page simmilar to wikipedia, we could do it by a vote (like wikipedia) or have it randomly change every so often, or everytime the user goes to the main page.

• Ability to upload fixed format / size limited images

This would provide the ability to illustrate concepts described in articles without relying on possibly broken external links. By limiting the size of the image we could avoid filling up server diskspace / wasting bandwidth. -JustinLynn

How would you want this to work? Would you like it to be an 'attachment' type thing? or just a seperate page where you upload a image and it gives you a link to it? -Andy

It would be great if we could do it like wikipedia using Special:upload and the tag [[image:NameOfImage.png|Alternate Text]]. Perhaps we could make a page for "Images up for Deletion" as well. See Wikipedia Editing FAQ for an example. -JustinLynn

I disagree with this. There are many free, no-ad image servers out there, and there's no reason to tax the moacad.com bandwidth in this way. Images, while useful at times, are often both superfluous and ugly. If you want to display an image, fine, but link to it from elsewhere. -Chrax

Yeah, but theres not a convienient way to make a thumbnail image with a caption like the wikipedia. If we could use the image functionality of the wikipedia, but be able to host them somewhere else, it would be great. But depending on how much server space and bandwidth the host gives, it might be easier just to host them locally. Anyway, the deal where it replaces image links with the image prevents you from making clickable thumbnails, or images that are inline with the text, as far as I can tell. It would be cool if you could make a "thumb" tag that would embed the image in a table, let you specify a caption, and provide a link to the full image on someplace like imageshack.us. -Squishypickle
