Handle refs. with Biblio:

some templates from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages
one thing that is semi ugly is that your login name appears at the top of your page or in the list of contributors (for instance User:HBrumer3 or User:Bernie); wouldn't it be nicer if the full real name of people would appear just like on the Board of Curators' page with Harry Brumer or Bernard Henrissat ?

Log
This section is a little Mediawiki maintenance log, which might become it's own page someday.
Started 02 September 2009.
UserContactLinks extended syntax extension
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:User_Contact_Links
- Allows replacement of "[[:User:username|full name]]" with "(3 tildes)User Name(3 tildes)", where User Name can be:
- wiki username
- user full name (first space last)
- last name of the user
- partial match of any part of user full name
- Had to slightly edit both PHP files to break-up (3 tildes)User Name(3 tildes) to "^^^user^^ ^" in description; this was resulting in "incorrect user" being shown on Special:Version.

Implemented ContactPage extension
- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContactPage
- Gives world-accessible contact form: Special:Contact
- Took some tweaking to get it to work:
- Line 125 in SpecialContact.php ($captcha = ConfirmEditHooks::getInstance();) broke Mediawiki
- Upgrading to ConfirmEdit-MW1.15-r50221 broke reCaptcha, e.g. on user signup page.
- Fixed by commenting out offending Line 125
- All seems OK
- reCaptcha works on all pages, including Special:Contact (must not be logged in as sysop to see it) and user signup page
- Also hacked ConfirmEdit.php to put "contactpage" captcha trigger there, instead of in LocalSettings.php (left a comment in the latter to that effect).

Playing around with image thumbnail settings
- see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Image_thumbnailing
- $wgUseImageMagick turned off in LocalSettings.php
- Was generating errors on Special:NewFiles (ImageMagick not installed...)
- Not clear if $wgUseImageResize should be used or not in MW 1.15
- Unclear info at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseImageResize
- Now uncommented in LocalSettings.php, maybe some effect with .gif (see GH11).
