WordPress Wiki is now on GitHub. You can get the latest version here:
I am happy to report that internal links work, including red links, as long as you have some kind of non-default permalink structure turned on.
A few changes to the interface are coming in a few days, and shortly after that we’ll have a full on public release for you all. Please try out the new version and send us bug reports in the comments.
Sorry there haven’t been a lot of updates- I know a lot of you are waiting for progress on this plugin. I’ve been learning a lot of new stuff to make it a whole lot better.
If you are at all interested in contributing to this project, please let me know in the comments.
0.9a2 (these version numbers are getting out of control) is up for testing.
Fixed in this release:
Still broken:
. More updates to come this week, pinky swear.
Hello all. The next update to 0.9 is in the pipeline. Permissions are fixed in this release, so Wiki editors will only have access to Wiki pages, and you will be able to turn regular pages into Wikis.
All that’s left is to make sure the upgrade process goes smooth for everyone, as Users, Roles, and Capabilities are stored in the database, and this update requires deleting the existing “Wiki Editor” role.
The update will go live later today and I will post a link when it’s available. Thanks for your patience! If you would like to contribute, please get in touch!
Hello all. WordPress Wiki 0.9-alpha is ready for testing.
A lot of cool new stuff works in this version, but it is highly experimental, and we need lots of testing to make sure this is a robust, cross-platform, backwards-compatible release.
Here’s what’s new:
Here’s what’s still planned:
Here’s what’s still broken in the current version:
Please and test this version. It’s only been tested on OS X in Chrome and Firefox, using PHP 5 and MySQL 5. Report your findings in the comments.
More updates very very very soon!
A new version will be released soon. The next version of the WP Wiki Plugin will work with WordPress 3.0 and it will even utilize Custom Post Types for Wiki entries.
To make this happen we’ve teamed up with Matthew Gerring, WordPress developer extraordinaire who has been working on the overhaul.
Stay tuned for Matthews update.
If you want to see the latest code changes for the WP Wiki Plugin then please feel free to peruse the following link whenever it best suits. The WP Wiki Plugin will be updated again within the next few months unless there is an urgent fix required or if somebody else contributes a worthy modification. We’re slowly working on inline editing and a few other features but I don’t have an ETA.
Also I would like to thank Toni Prug for helping integrate the TOC feature in 0.8 it was much appreciated and I’m sure it is appreciated by the community. Toni, apologies for not adding you as an SVN Committer but for some reason wordpress.org does not like your username 
For everybody else though that wants to take a look at the last lot of changes. And who want to know where to look at the next lot of changes. Then this link is the one to keep in your bookmarks.
We’re starting to think about the full 1.0 release. Funnily enough there are really only a few features that we think are needed:
1) the ability for edits to go into a pending pool (we can’t figure this out)
2) integrate inline editing with scribu’s inline edit plugin (this is hard too)
3) a few more widgets (can’t think right now)
4) admin Watchlist – the ability for different admins to watch different pages
We also need a better understanding of Wiki theory in general. I have no idea what makes a page incomplete etc – for example when you browse to a wikipedia page sometimes they have all sorts of messages in little boxes. i.e. this page is incomplete, this page needs peer reviewing, this page needs etc etc etc…
What would be cool would be a system whereby the admin person watching those pages could simply check a box that applies that box with the appropriate message at the top of the page. I’m guessing that is how media wiki does things.
Also one other thing I thought would be cool would be a rollover notes system that shows readers notes as to why somebody may have made a change. This would / could be an add on module – but what do you think?!?
WP Wiki has been updated. Check out these new user contributed features:
If you display only the first part of your posts on the front page of your website then previously you would have ended up with a “TOC” within a single item/post, which is useless. Also you may not want to have a TOC on the front page posts in general, as you may find that it clutters your blog. People who do want it on the front page, can check the box that is now present under the Wiki Settings page.
We have implemented the WP cron facility for sending batch email notifications to administrators when “Wiki Editors” make changes to your site.
The plan is to extend this functionality so that you can select how often you want receive these emails i.e. once per week vs once per day vs an email for every change.
Finally after an age, in an internet, in a universe far far away the guys at Instinct HQ who brought you the have updated the WP Wiki Plugin. We hope you enjoy the following changes and mods:
