[About XDA developers] TheManii:
Request 1: Add HTML Tidy to the xda wiki stack

I've been doing a LOT of work adding stuff to the xda wiki, but I've hit an impasse, some of the most complex templates used on Wikipedia depend on it being 'scripted' with HTML instead of pure wikimarkup.

The main example is Template:Navbox. While this specific template does have a pupre wikimarkup equivilent (if it even is an equivilent, it's not maintained at the level of the normal one). The other templates I wish to use dont have equivilents.

Template:Navbox subgroup is the one (among others) that I wish to add in but cant because it depends on HTML Tidy. The Template itself is already on the xda wiki, but if you attempt to use it it's completely broken.

I cant say it's as simple as "install on server and turn it on" but the fact of the matter is that without it most of the fun/magic stuff on wikipedia cant be brought over to the xda wiki.

Some examples of recent stuff i've made (for reference):

Samsung Galaxy S Series Navbox

Samsung Galaxy S II Series Navbox

New Samsung Portal on Main page

Entirety of Dell devices page

If you look at the several navboxes I've made they have hacks in the code to get around the fact that I'm just a normal level editor.

Request 2: We need MOAR editors!

Also this doubles as a request for more editors on the wiki: XDA is the largest android development based site on the internet, yet here we are weeks after the release of the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note and the pages didnt even exist until I made stubs for them.

As of this past quarter I've generated more edits then possibly nearly every other user combined, but there's only so much I can do at this point by my self. (With my primary style being to organize page layouts and tidying stuff up vs writing new content for devices)

[Edit count itself is a bad metric, but edits that arnt mine only number in the dozens a month]

Sure it's reasonable for minor devices and varients to be stubs, but the Note has sold over a million units and yet not a single person has even bothered to make as much as a scribble on the wiki about the device. That's just an example, but ultimately if this were wikipedia, the amount of pages rated 'good' or higher would only number in the dozens. (There's also the fact that my belief is that it's a bad idea to add anything intensive for a device you dont own, standard fare on one device can super-brick another due to quirks)

It's a rather sad state of affairs that for such a large web site with 22000 active users at any one time that there's not a single good consistant repeat editor besides me. :(

Edit: changed wording to not be inflammatory

Request 3: Turn on Subpages on the main namespace

Mediawiki:Subpages are by default enabled on the template and user namespaces, but not on the main namespace. I believe it's done this way because of editor policy and not technical reasons.

The xda wiki would HEAVILY benefit from having it enabled since it already currently manually uses them, the previous example of:

Samsung <Series>/<model number>/article has long existed this way but without the automatically generated anchors.

The majority of pages are already ready to accept it, it might simply need to be turned on.
