[Fwd: [Mediawiki-l] del.icio.us and mediawiki]
do you think such thing could be usefull for us? I don't know the given sites, but we may adapt this to our needs (for example linking to the relevant opensuse mailing list, forum...) found on the mediawiki mailing list jdd -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Mediawiki-l] del.icio.us and mediawiki Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 23:25:07 +0530 From: Raj Shekhar <spamme@rajshekhar.net> Reply-To: spamme@rajshekhar.net, MediaWiki announcements and site admin list <mediawiki-l@Wikimedia.org> Organization: Yahoo! To: MediaWiki-l <mediawiki-l@wikimedia.org> I did not see this tip on the Mediawiki FAQ or the help page, but I think this might prove helpful to some. If you see most of the blogs, they have a bar at the bottom of each post which allows readers to bookmark it to del.icio.us, digg and other sites. This thing can be done in Mediawiki too (have a look at http://dtil.info/index.php/Main_Page to see how the final page looks) First, create a template by going to http://example.info/index.php/Template:Dtil and clicking on "edit" . In this case Dtil is the name of the template, you can call it anything you want. Most likely, you will need sysop powers to edit the template page. Add the following lines to this template <p style="border: 1px solid rgb(159, 165, 234); margin: 0px; padding: 5px 15px; color: rgb(103, 109, 184); text-align: center;"> [http://del.icio.us/post?url={{SERVER}}/index.php/{{PAGENAMEE}}&title={{PAGENAMEE}} Del.icio.us this!] | [http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url={{SERVER}}/index.php/{{PAGENAMEE}} Digg this!] </p> The <p style="border: 1px solid rgb(159, 165, 234); margin: 0px; padding: 5px 15px; color: rgb(103, 109, 184); text-align: center;"> part gives a nice border to the whole template. You can fiddle with the colors to make it suit your own theme or completely remove it if you do not want html in your wiki markup Save the template. Go to any of your pages and edit it. In the end of the edit, add the line {{Dtil}} (or whatever you have named your template) and save it. Hopefully, you will have a footer in your page with links which will allow your readers to bookmark your pages on digg or del.icio.us Hope you find this useful. Should I add this to the Mediawiki FAQ or Mediawiki hacks page or is there something like this already there on it ?

<joke> That's a great idea, and then we can link to Ebay from all the different laptop pages. </joke> http://del.icio.us is a 'social bookmark' site owned by Yahoo. http://digg.com is similar to http://slashdot.org but the user comments are generally even more juvenile and useless (if that was possible). Basically what you are proposing is to create automatic links to other things, based on the page you are on. Sure I have no problem with this as long as: 1. It is useful. 2. It doesn't 'advertise' other services. So once we have a forum I could see a "Discuss this page on the forum" type link very useful, that links to a forum compose page with link back to the page you came from. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin

Yes... though the benefit to del.icio.us use (especially since its been integrated in KDE 3.5) is that users may have an easier time finding pages that they should be interested in.
