TULIPS/2024-11-14

Welcome to our seventeenth TULIPS (Thursday Updates & Logs Improving Platform Software)! You can read the previous one if you haven't yet.

These posts will be made whenever we have enough development updates to make a post, usually on Thursdays.

Welcome to User:TheElm who has joined our staff as a developer to help out Alex!

Live now

• Most favicons will now display on their file description pages. Previously, a white box would appear and no resolution was reported. See for example File:Site-favicon.ico on this wiki.
• Some links (e.g. like diffs & Special:Search) are now shortened to a friendly "/wiki/TULIPS" form. These URLs previously showed up as "/index.php" in Google Analytics and browser history.
• We've tuned our firewall to better fend off anomalous, automated traffic. This should overall help with server stability, but some traffic may still get past the barrier. We continue to monitor the situation.

WE DID THIS

This week's WE DID THIS includes:

• User:Andre601 on the Jobexi League Wiki created a homegrown alternative to TemplateData for showing information about template parameters!
• User:Untitled7 on Ghost Master Complete Edition Wiki created their own implementation of ImageMap that caters to a very specific map style!
• User:Dorce on the Merchant Guilds Wiki created an interactive Fight Simulator for every enemy in the game! An example can be seen on Kobold Monarch.
