PressMaster: /* Well, it worked until the 1.35 upgrade */

<ul>
<li>A place to play.</li>
<li>A place to spawn new pages.</li>
<li>A place to test what works.</li>
</ul>
<p>Setting up for spam filters....
<ul>
<li>[[My_spam_blacklist]]</li>
<li>[[My_spam_whitelist]]</li>
</ul>
See whether these exist....
</p>
<p>Setting up templates for submissions and linkings
<ul>
<li>[[Template:Artifact]]</li>
<li>[[Template:Event]]</li>
<li>[[Template:Manifesto]]</li>
<li>[[Template:Group]]</li>
<li>...and creating [[Template:Ephemera]] transclusion page....</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Let's test it:
{{Template:Ephemera}}
</p>
===Testing the bigbullet css class....===
Alas, all work here has been broken time and again as MediaWiki changed its mechanism for handling "skins", breaking the site each time. The text here is left for a future day when we might resurrect the css definitions in the "enkoBook" skin. Until then, edit this page for a look at history. <em>-- Gongmaster, 2021</em>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div id="ephemera" class="bigbullet" style="float:left;">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]
</div>
<p class="bbtext">Use "id='ephemera'" to invoke the animated "Neoteric book" image under the cover.
</p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div class="bigbullet" style="float:left;">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]
</div>
<p class="bbtext">Using no "id" value gives us the default background animation....
</p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div class="bigbullet" style="float:left; background-image:'images/b/bc/Sitelaunch_B_anim_125.gif';">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]
</div>
<p class="bbtext">But can we override the animation by simply using the style property during invocation?</p>
<p class="bbtext">No. But surely there is some css way to do image substitution without defining style sheets for individual pages....</p>
</div>

===Well, it worked until the 1.35 upgrade===
<p>All skins are now handled differently (ugh) but maybe we can resurrect using the Gadgets approach recommended by MediaWiki.</p>
<p>Test that image (img) tags no longer function:
<img src="http://dekal;borama.com/wikimedia/images/cincoDrop.png" alt="Attempting to place cincoDrop.png here..."></p>
<p>Yup, definitely and thoroughly dead.</p>
<div style="clear:both; min-height:155px">
<div class="bigbullet" style="float:left;">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_stat_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]</div>
<div class="bigcover">[[File:Ephemera_rectoB_anim_125.gif|link=Neoteric_Ensemble]]</div>
<p class="bbtext">Can't get divs to hide on hover using css gadgets. Is it even working?</p>
<p>No. Oh, well, definitely not worth another nanosecond.</p>
</div>
<p>Shall we just try creating [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] like almost all documentation seems to suggest, despite claims of deprecation sprinlked through the [Hah!] documentation?</p>

==More convenient workspaces==
<p>Creating [[Collection of Gene Nichols]]
</p>

<ul>Band pages
<li>Create a [[Neoteric Ensemble]] page...
</li>
<li>Create a [[Potato Engineers]] page...
</li>
</ul>

<p>To create a [[new_page]]:
<ul>
<li>Get a login: [mailto:gongmaster@wikigong.com contact us]
</li>
<li>Edit any page (this one works)
</li>
<li>Type the new page name encased in double square brackets
</li>
<li>Save your edits (or use "show preview")
</li>
<li>Click the link to open the new page and start editing...
</li>
</ul>

It's easy enough to be non-obvious...

Working through the [[:Category:Diaspora]]:
* Anyone left?
Add link to a blank page for nominees. Removal from this list should mean a page exists!

Our [[Video Sandbox|video experiments]] dragged on and on, so now there's a separate page...

And a page for [[Credits]]: GNU licensed software, etc....
