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

22 May 2015

Wikispooks celebrated its 5th 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.
