Ttenbergen: Text replacement - "__NOCACHE__" to "{{NoCache}}"

<noinclude>
This template implements a [[Mediawiki Extension Cargo]] query against the [[Special:CargoTables/Project|Project table]] in the gallery format (ie pictures with the shortDescription as caption). It takes an optional 1 parameter that it uses as the where clause.

'''to pass this query a parameter that contains an equal sign, see example in [[North Forge Fabrication Lab]] and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20897400/passing-an-equal-sign-to-a-parameter-in-a-mediawiki-template

Ttenbergen: Text replacement - "__NOCACHE__" to "{{NoCache}}"

<noinclude>
This template hides the display of the magic word <nowiki>{{NoCache}}</nowiki> used by [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MagicNoCache Extension:MagicNoCache]. As of 2026-10-18, there is [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T431195 a bug] where the extension doesn't hide the text. Extension also may not actually work to put the page out of cache, but with this template we can at least preserve the idea of using it, and wait for resolution of the bug.

Template:TidBit

2026-10-19T08:00:05Z

Ttenbergen: Text replacement - "__NOCACHE__" to "{{NoCache}}"

<noinclude>This template is a wrapper for "TidBits", or stand-alone, blog-like content that isn't quite a project, but might be useful and fits in the context of this wiki.

<pre><nowiki>{{</nowiki>TidBit
|shortDescription=Displaying Maps in Mediawiki
|skillSet=Mediawiki
|featured=Yes
}}</pre>

We list the featured ones of these on the mainpage. We may also want to include other tags like [[Skillset]]s to be able to auto-post them on the skillset pages in a similar way.

More details to come, but this will allow tagging them now to find and use them later.

Offline Museum Kiosk With MediaWiki and Raspberry Pi

2026-07-09T04:55:52Z

Ttenbergen: /* File for case ends */

{{Project
|shortDescription=MediaWiki kiosk running on a Raspberry Pi 4B
|longDescription=We set up and did the initial data import and collection creation for a MediaWiki-based standalone (offline) kiosk for the Charleswood Historical Society. They wanted a small, reliable, and performant kiosk that was not prohibitively expensive and had capacity to add more information (including the potential for audio and video) in the future.
|geekery=The kiosk is built around a Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB) running the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm).

Storage is a 500GB Samsung EVO 870 SSD, connected via StarTech USB312SAT3CB USB-SATA adapter.

Since there is no network connection, we installed a DS3231 RTC to keep track of time.

We designed and made a custom enclosure for this project with 3D-printed PETG end caps and cutout cover panel, and laser-cut birch plywood panels.

Initial wiki setup, collaboration, and training was done with a web hosted wiki. Once the wiki was populated and looked as desired, it was backed up from the web host and restored to the offline Pi wiki.
