Wiki Acceptance Tests
When upgrading the wiki, or moving to a new operational location, use these tests to ensure that everything is functional.
In all cases, the pages should look the same as they did previously. The best way to ensure this would be to compare their appearance in the new installation with their appearance in the old (existing) installation.
Upgrade notes
With this upgrade, we are also upgrading a number of extensions. There may be some backward-incompatibilities that require content changes:
- The newer version of the ImageMap extension requires polygon shapes to have an even number of points.
Basic content tests
- Main Page - Check that it looks the same.
Special pages
- Special:Recentchanges
- Special:Version - check list of extensions and make sure it matches.
API
To check that the API is active, click this link: https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/api.php
HTTPS
Nowhere on the site should there be HTTPS errors (i.e. broken lock in the browser), especially not on the Login page. Acid test is IE, which complains the most. Chrome has a weird bug where sometimes it'll complain about HTTPS problems while no other browser does.
Pages to test:
- Front page
- Login page
- User page (Torley's?)
- File:Image page
Namespaces
The following query returns a list of the namespaces defined:
This should return the following:

Search
Test "Google Search" in the sidebar:
- Enter a search term.
- Click Google Search.
Make sure it returns reasonable results.
Subpages in main namespace
Go to Wiki Acceptance Test/Subpages -- first line should just say "Wiki Acceptance Test", second line should just say "Subpages". If they both say "Wiki Acceptance Test/Subpages", then this isn't working right.
Extensions
Check that Special:Version lists the same set of installed extensions.
Cite
The special page Special:Cite should exist.
Flagged Revisions
- Edit a page in the Knowledge Base.
- Check that the edit becomes a "draft" revision.
- As a reviewer user, approve the edit, and check that it becomes the "stable" revision.
Check the Admin Dashboard to ensure that pages show up in the various FR special pages.
ImageMap
Copied from User:Ugleh Ulrik:
Error: Found poly with odd number of coordinates on line 3 | ||
![]() |
Template:Db | Error: Found poly with odd number of coordinates on line 3 |
Error: Found poly with odd number of coordinates on line 3 |
MathStatFunctions
If these show the correct values, then this extension is working:
- pi = {{ #const: pi }}
- e = {{ #const: e }}
- sqrt(2) = {{#const:sqrt(2)}}
SimpleTable
(nobody uses this extension)
Variables
Set the variable "myvar" to be "1234:
If the following shows "1234", then this is working properly:
The value is >>> 1234 <<<
VideoFlash
Widgets
Check that the following list of widgets shows up: https://wiki.secondlife.com/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=274
- Widget:Blip.tv
- Widget:Chat Transcript
- Widget:Feed
- Widget:Flickr
- Widget:Flickr/SlideShow
- Widget:Flickr/Slideshow
- Widget:FlickrShow
- Widget:Google Gadget
- Widget:Scribd
- Widget:SlideShare
- Widget:Twitter
- Widget:Vimeo
- Widget:Widgetbox
- Widget:YouTube
- Widget:YouTubeChannel
Do we need to test each individual widget? Probably not. Maybe just test a couple.
Add metas
Check that each page has
<meta name="mat" content="PG_NOT" />
in its <head>.
Breadcrumbs2
Check that MediaWiki:Breadcrumbs exists and that breadcrumbs are displayed properly.
GeSHiHighlight
If the following is displayed as formatted text the extension is working.
<lsl>default { state_entry() { llOwnerSay(""); } }</lsl>
Also see Syntax Highlighting Examples.
Google Analytics Integration
Check that each wiki page has the following at the bottom:
<script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-190376-9"); pageTracker._initData(); pageTracker._trackPageview(); </script>
Check that a page in the LLO namespace shows the following header and footer:
Rename User
See if Special:RenameUser exists.
ReplaceText
If this page exists, then the extension is installed. Special:ReplaceText. Try it out and confirm that it works properly.
ParserFunctions
If what follows is the current date and time formatted as Y m d H:i:s then this extension is working.
2024 03 29 14:42:34
StringFunctions
If the number on the line below is 4, then this extension is working.
