< User:Rob Kam | sandbox1
Ideally this wiki would be empty, it is merely a sandbox for roughing out articles for the Synth DIY wiki. Initial links and rough notes should go on the draft article's talk page. Once a page on scruffywiki is good enough, just copy/paste it to the Synth DIY wiki and discard article history/attribution.

- Sequencer -- already exists
Interwiki
- Extension talk:LinkTarget
- LocalSettings.php
- T342474, Interwiki links mislead users off-wiki
Disable Extension:LinkTarget, (does it still need those entries in LocalSettings.php?) and add to MediaWiki:Common.js:
// Add target="_blank" to links with class "extiw" or "external text" $(document).ready(function() { $("a.extiw").attr("target", "_blank"); });
Needs sorting out
- Icon for external video links (like PDFs have one)
- Facebook posts of interest
- Grant Richter site for various external links
