Wiki History

A new wiki header has been deployed. It has been re-implemented, is static, and compatible with JavaScript / no-JavaScript.

Some dynamic status information such as logged in, not logged in, create account is not properly shown yet but will be soon in the JavaScript version. For the no-JavaScript version this isn’t possible as this would require not only CSS changes which are comparatively “easy” but a whole new mediawiki skin and PHP which would be a lot more difficult (speak: more expensive). The “basic” functionality (read, edit with or without account, tools) however should be fully functional for both versions (JavaScript and no-JavaScript). Some “advanced convenience” functionality might not be doable at this time.

Due to issues with MediaWiki skin foreground (Broken with mw 1.37), we’re back to MediaWiki default skin Vector and CSS enhancements are being added on top of it.

All enhancements to MediaWiki in the Whonix wiki are being documented here:

new chapter:
User Expectations

new wiki extensions installed:

Some old chat comments of mine are cited at Metadata - Whonix and Metadata - Whonix . At the time of the chat, I said I would try to dig up sources for the claims I made. I’ve finally done so (took some hours; search engines are truly dreadful at reconstructing my browsing history from when I read these docs at the time):

Sources for claims on WikiLeaks DNC FAT32 metadata:

Sources for claims on Guccifer2 time zone metadata:

Sources for claims on re-saving files introducing new metadata:

I’ll add these citations to the wiki when I have a few minutes (probably in the next week) unless someone either beats me to it or objects.

Whonix homepage, that term is defined as whonix.org, no /wiki is in process of being ported to Whonix wiki format.

Work in progress:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Homepage

(Once done it will be just whonix.org. No /wiki/Homepage)

And of course it is supposed to look better than what exists right now. Page header and footer will have a consistent design homepage versus wiki.

The wiki markup source code (HTML / CSS) can be found here:

This will later be documented on:

Somehow got two pages.

Needs to be merged. I hope I can keep all improvements and nothing will be reverted to the previously less ideal state. But in that case, see above direct links which will still have the full wiki history.

Above was done.

Wrote wiki template documentation, added machine readable link to Whonix onion:
