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 — file.extension
For example: T—BostonU—results.jpeg
