Revision as of 11:36, 30 September 2010

Kawachan 1.5 is the branch of Kawachan you are reading right now. This page will list updates made to it.

Since the changelog was only started on August 15, 2010 anything before that is an approximation.

Feature: Category links (in sidebar and listings; NOT manual category links like "[[:Category:Categories]]") now appear with an icon to their left, which is one of the following:
1. a single page (in listings only), meaning a "leaf" article
2. three pages with a question mark, meaning a category with no main article
3. three pages with horizontal lines, meaning a category with a main article.
- In the third case, clicking the text link takes you to the main article (where as of the previous update category contents are displayed). The category page itself is accessible by clicking the icon, which also appears on the main article itself.
- A warning is displayed on internal category pages (those category pages with an associated main article), as a general reader should have no reason to be viewing one.

Feature: Pages which are the main article of a category A now display A's contents at the bottom of the page, and copy A's categories for their sidebar.
- Good example: Video game. The listing makes the page rather more useful.
  - Bad example: Retard. Pages/subcategories which appear as sections should link the section heading and not appear in the list at the bottom.

Fix: you can now change a file's categories after uploading it.
Feature: Managers can now rearrange the pictures in a gallery (most importantly for changing the default image that appears in a page's sidebar).
- Although this functionality should be available to all users, it will probably stay restricted until Kawachan 2 appears for technical reasons involving logging.

Feature: Link colors and category ranks added (optional in your account settings).

 **Good example: [[Video game]]. The listing makes the page rather more useful.
 ***Bad example: [[Retard]]. Pages/subcategories which appear as sections should link the section heading and not appear in the list at the bottom.
-**Next step will be making links to categories which have main articles automatically go to the main article, and have a "category" tab for manually seeing the real category page, with a notice that general readers should stick to the main articles (to avoid confusion).
-**Also, since categories and main articles are being merged, the subcategories and pages lists should also be merged.
