[edit] Some useful mediawiki templates

Simple templates I have created that might be useful for those people running websites or intranet sites based on MediaWiki:

• Creating images that link to a specified page - rather than showing a larger version of the image which is the usual behaviour
• Showing relevant icons for links to uploaded document files

[edit] Useful Wikipedia tools

• Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups (created by user Lupin) - fantastic tool that when installed shows a preview of the page when you hover over a link to another article - also has other aids to editing, dependant on the type of link that the mouse is hovering over.

In case it interests anyone...

I am exploring what becomes possible when open source collaborative principles are applied to advanced projects in the physical world. See www.AdCiv.org.
