The new MediaWiki theme design incorporates SPE’s single sign on (SSO) system to allow seamless user experience between Petrowiki and SPE’s other websites, whilst making MediaWiki’s typical content creation tools accessible. PetroWiki, the wiki platform for the Society of Petroleum Engineers, was on an aging version of MediaWiki with an outdated design.Īs part of a push to encourage contribution from the Society’s younger members, MediaWiki experts Peacock Carter were engaged to totally redesign and develop a responsive MediaWiki theme to accommodate growing numbers of users on mobile devices such as iPhone and Android smartphones, as well as its more traditional userbase on laptop and desktop computers. Mediawiki can now handle Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) so with a little configuration, you can import a group of SVGs and use that as a basis for your theme.
