As of today, we are asking that people do not post articles on the site that do not fit our default (GFDL-CC) copyright license. Instead, these can find a home at OrthodoxSource. Images for use in articles may still be uploaded if they do not fit this criterion and a good GFDL-CC alternative cannot be found, but should still be clearly marked. Public Domain/CC images will be given more explicit preference, however.

Also, from now on, only images in standard formats—jpg, gif, png, svg—may be uploaded on OrthodoxWiki. All other filetypes should be uploaded to OrthodoxSource — FrJohn (talk)

OrthodoxSource, a sister project to OrthodoxWiki, is currently in alpha stage. One purpose behind this project is to keep OrthodoxWiki focused on being an encylopedia. OrthodoxSource will be a place for collections of things: archives, images, articles, and other relevant files of all sorts. If you're up for pioneering, please register over there and help out. On this end, pages that would be more appropriate for the other site can be marked with the Transfer template, which will land them in Category:Articles for transfer.

Also, the MediaWiki intallation has been updated to version 1.6.8.

Two citation extensions have been installed. One allows in-text citations to be collected together in a group as footnotes. (For details, see meta:Cite/Cite.php. For an example on Wikipedia, see w:Irish_bog_psalter.)

The second (meta:Cite/Special:Cite.php) adds a special page (Special:Cite) which offers cut-and-paste citations in a number of formats to OrthodoxWiki pages, and also adds a "Cite this article" link in the sidebar "toolbox" on every page in the main namespace.
