Wikispooks:News

2015

5 November 2015

This week Wikispooks surpassed 6000 articles.

8 August 2015

Two new milestones this week, after a Summer of steady growth in terms of pagecount, and a smarter coverpage design:

• Samuel Bush became the 2000^th person to have an entry on Wikispooks.
• The Category:Subjectless Documents category became empty for the first time since it was created in December 2013 - meaning all 1149 Documents on the site now have subjects!

22 May 2015

Wikispooks celebrated its 5^th birthday with a significant server upgrade.

• Editors who request it may be granted access to the Wikipedia Sandbox server, suitable for development and testing of new software.
• Use of SMW has not changed in the last 9 months, so can be considered stable.
• Active editorship continues to climb steadily

2014

The SMW extension is now used by almost all pages on the site. This goes beyond just standardising page appearance with a Wikipedia-style 'info box'. The semantic nature means that:

• Pages now dynamically build cross-references (so pages display, for example, a list of documents that relate to them, jobs display a list of people who have held that post etc.)
• The ExportRDF page allows export of semantic data about pages, for use in other websites or software

2013

WikiSpooks has been assembling a lot of material on the Lockerbie bombing, which may not be as straightforward as the official narrative would suggest.

December 2013

• The Semantic Mediawiki extension is now helping to organise material and integrate the 3rd party documents into the main wiki.
• The Community portal has been completely revamped and clarified.

August 2013

Wikipedia+ was formally checked and accepted by Mozilla and added to their Firefox extension gallery.
