I know I've been away for a while, so I must've missed the discussion about removing SVG support from {{t|icon}}. Where is it? --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 06:59, 15 June 2008 (CDT) | I know I've been away for a while, so I must've missed the discussion about removing SVG support from {{t|icon}}.

:This was never discussed. As you know, SVG transparency isn't working. That's fine for white or off-white backgrounds, but it looks ugly and unprofessional in {{t|sys}}. I uploaded PNG replacements to get around this, and then I decided I might as well simplify the template in the process. I also hoped that doing so would eliminate the calls to non-existent SVG equivalents of the PNG images. In fact, it seems to have lumped these phantom calls together (see [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Image:Deprecated template usage icon.png]]). If you can somehow fix the SVG rendering that would be great, but at the moment they're unfortunately inferior. :( [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 16:35, 15 June 2008 (CDT) | :This was never discussed.

== MediaWiki upgrade == | |||
You have server access, right? I never can remember... :( | |||
Some extensions we are using have [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2008-June/000073.html XSS vulnerabilities]. Additionally, MediaWiki 1.12.0 is now stable, and has a few nice additions. There's also [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_12/extensions/ParserFunctions/ an improved version of ParserFunctions] to go along with it. Assuming you have server access, it would be great if you could sort this out at some point. | |||
Also, if you have the time could you look into making a text dump publicly available? It would be good to have a few copies spread around just in case. | |||
Anyway, many thanks in advance! :) [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 18:15, 15 June 2008 (CDT) | |||
