Editing RLWiki:RLWiki NEO (section)

== Additional improvements ==
Together with the migration, some improvements have been made to the wiki. While all these improvements could have already been done in the Miraheze wiki, the migration gave us a good opportunity to implement them.
=== Better infobox "backend code" ===
Most of the templates and modules in the RL Wiki are carbon copies from Wikipedia. The templates have only been adjusted as little as possible until they worked with our use cases with little knowledge on how these templates were made. This, however, had resulted in a lot of redundant and useless code left in these templates and the need to import more templates and modules from Wikipedia than needed.

Especially infoboxes - there was code left for handling IRL maps in the infoboxes for people.<ref name="infoboxrsplayer">https://rollinglounge.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_RSplayer?action=edit</ref> This has been fixed in the new wiki, with infobox code only (for the most part) including necessary elements.

=== Better infobox naming ===
In Miraheze, the infoboxes often had some weird names. Most notably, "RSplayer," which was a generic infobox for Rolling Lounge members.<ref name="infoboxrsplayer"/> There were also unnecessary duplicates for templates that, in essence, had the same purpose.<ref>https://rollinglounge.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_RSLevel</ref><ref>https://rollinglounge.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_RJLevel?action=edit</ref>

=== New Discord Access System / WGASO ===
To prevent irrelevant discussions from the Discord channels (which cannot be moderated often), a manual approval system was put into place. Now it's possible to self-assign access to the Wiki by going to the [https://discord.gg/BuZ8XpTuzG RL | WGASO] server and entering the WGASO code "RLWIKINEO" (without the quotation marks) to gain access to the RL Wiki channels.

=== Better backup abilities ===
Due to us self-hosting the wiki, it's easier to make backups of it as well. There is a [https://rollinglounge.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:DataDump Special page] to get data dumps from Miraheze wikis, but is limited to text. Within self-hosted wikis, this process becomes significantly easier due to ownership over all files for the wiki.
