Wikispooks:News

2015

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.
