Content Management System (CMS)
The Rats Nest is currently a vanilla MediaWiki. There are only 3 flavours of user unregistered, registered and sysop. Most experts would agree this is very bad practice. Implementing a CMS extension would allow for a much safer Wiki.
Candidates are: CMS-WIKI-like
I hope I can find more
Resolved Issues
Below are issues which have received some attention
Uploaded Files & Images
Uploaded files were not linking correctly when viewing normally (edit mode worked fine). This was due to the MediaWiki LocalSettings.php having incorrect preferences.
$wgUploadDirectory & $wgUploadPath were set incorrectly to 'images';
The fix was updating both to "{$wgScriptPath}/images";
note the double quotes
Side effect
The fix had a side effect of errors being displayed in the title bar. PHP safe-mode is responsible for the errors; unfortunately this cannot be deactivated on this site. A solution exists which will work but is unsafe; LocalSettings.php has had the line error_reporting(0); added to it. This disables user from seeing errors but doesn't stop them occuring; admins should be aware of this setting.
