Fanlore's MediaWiki upgrade is complete!

[fanloremod]

Fanlore's upgrade to MediaWiki version 1.26.2 has been successfully completed!

As described in our last post, you will see some aesthetic and functional changes to Fanlore with this new update.

We have also deployed three new MediaWiki extensions: Disambiguator, MobileFrontend, and Thanks. More information about these new features will be posted soon. We are also still looking into the VisualEditor extension, and will be inviting the Fanlore Gardeners to help with testing and feedback before the feature goes live.

Please let us know if you experience any problems with the upgraded site, either in the comments below or via our contact form. We are already aware of and investigating a few small formatting and behavioral bugs, and we will have updates for you soon.

Many thanks to Emufarmers for all his hard work on the upgrade!

Woot! One question about the mobile extension. When I visited the site on my phone, the mobile version did not engage. I finally found the link in teeeeny print at the very bottom of the page. If I didn't know it was there I would never have found it. There may be an extension for auto-detect: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileDetect

but in the interim, can we add an additional Mobile link in big bold letters higher on the front page?
