MediaWiki Update



June 7, 2016

We have moved all content from our pages (including igem.org, 2016.igem.org, and parts.igem.org) to a new server, which has allowed us to upgrade to a newer version of MediaWiki. We have upgraded from MediaWiki version 1.16.5 to 1.24.1, providing a higher level of security for the iGEM Wiki pages and offering new features.

So, what does this mean for you and your team?

  • The black menu bar, including the login button, is now at the top of all of these pages to make logging in and navigating easier!
  • We have also implemented a new protection feature for team wiki pages: Only team members listed and approved on the team profile page can edit their team pages. So what does this mean? Simply put: users can no longer edit content that does not belong to their team. This will help protect the content of your wiki page as you start adding content.
  • Images you upload will also be protected from others over-writing them if you follow this simple naming convention:
    • T—TeamName—filename.fileextension
    • For example: T—BostonU—Flow_cyto_results.jpeg
