Maintenance notes

  • It depends on the set of redirects that let you look up kusaba resources by post number:
    • …kusaba/thumb-for/board/post → …kusaba/board/thumb/thumbnail-filename
    • …kusaba/image-for/board/post → …kusaba/board/src/fullsize-image-filename
    • …kusaba/thread-for/board/post → …kusaba/board/res/thread.html#post
    • And because MediaWiki is kind of dumb, a hack that lets it ignore a .png extension on these and let the browser sort out the details with Content-Type.
  • It makes assumptions about the maximum size of thumbnail images, namely that they'll never exceed 250px width.
  • It doesn't play nice with gallery tags (<gallery></gallery>) because Mediawiki syntax doesn't allow for external images in them.
