| Update backend to latest MediaWiki version
+
|Implement "Lingo" extension
−
| Get the wiki to version 1.41/1.42 (May 2024) in order to benefit from updated resources, such as new API calls, modernized skins, and bug fixes.
+
|"Lingo" is a stable and well-maintained extension that enables word definition on hover for admin-defined terms on all pages. For a heavy acronym space like ICANN, this is much more desirable than forcing users to open multiple tabs to be able to read an article. Available at: [https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Lingo]

 +
|Fix "HotCat" extension error
 +
|Using "HotCat" to categorize a page from its bottom bar consistently throws the user to an edit page containing "It appears that your browser does not support Unicode. It is required to edit pages, so your edit was not saved." However, it does work otherwise, so it's probably an exception that needs to be caught.

|-
 +
|Add dark theme
 +
|Dark mode is a modern option preferred by many tech workers. It is now fully implemented in a series of ways, though not directly in Vector. We should implement it as a toggle in the wiki's top bar. We just need to choose one of the four approaches available: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Dark_mode Manual:Dark_mode]

| Enable in-wiki playback of audio and video files

|Re-code Sponsors template
−
| Incorporating more robust multimedia resources moving forward will allow us to better integrate resources that are being underutilized at the moment, including a significant amount of videos already generated by ICANNWiki. (Potentially with [https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo_(fork)]).
+
|The current template has a hard-coded implementation that doesn't scale correctly.

| Check broken Badge functionality in the wiki

| style="background-color: #90EE90;" |Reconfigure or remove Extension:MobileFrontend
−
| The wiki used to support Badges, but this feature seems to be currently broken and have leftover code. See: [[Special:ICANNWikiBadge/Main_Page]]
+
| This extension doesn't appear to have a front-facing configuration page at the moment, meaning that it hijacks the mobile layout to a pretty barebones one.
