Welcome to Exodictionary!

Software Capabilities

Exodictionary uses the latest stable version of Mediawiki, so in many respects it is very similar to Wikipedia. At the time of writing this, we were running version 1.9.3 while 1.10 was the unreleased development version.

Interwiki

Interwiki is now supported between Marspedia and it's sister sites Lunarpedia and ExoDictionary.
To use interwiki you just use tags like
[[exd:Sandbox]], [[lunarp:Sandbox]] and [[marsp:Sandbox]]. These would take you to
exd:Sandbox, lunarp:Sandbox and marsp:Sandbox respectively.

Other examples would be: [[exd:Azimuth]], [[lunarp:Carbon economy]] and [[marsp:Mars Express]]. These would take you to
exd:Azimuth, lunarp:Carbon economy and marsp:Mars Express respectively.

The interwiki prefixes on the other sites are identical.

Installed Extensions we admit to

• CategoryTree
• Cite
• ImageMap
• MathStatFunctions
• ParserFunctions
• SpamBlacklist - Should we admit to having this or will that only encourage the idots to waste their time and sometimes ours
• Spellcheck
• articletocategory
• create
• inputbox

We recently added the footnote capability to Marspedia, so that is now the same.

Other differences:

• Wikipedia has some cool citation templates which we might add
• Wikipedia reflist template is not available i.e. Template:Reflist
• the Wikipedia [citation needed] template is not available: Template:Fact.

Extensions in the pipeline (maybe):

• Graphviz
• TeX Editor (This is really nice but we had to disable it as there seemed to be a security issue with it)
• WikiTeX (Will take quite some time to install, has a plethora of dependencies)
