Revised <nowiki><iframe></nowiki> tags to require a user click before loading external content. This is primarily to avoid having PDF content load unnecessarily each time an article is visited. Removed support for <nowiki><embed></nowiki> tags.
Upgraded to MediaWiki version 1.13. Parser is greatly improved and now correctly interprets wiki and HTML codes inside passed parameters.

Implemented <nowiki><iframe></nowiki> and <nowiki><embed></nowiki> tags to allow embedding of material in articles. This avoids any copyright conflicts when creating entries that duplicate external site content. See individual puzzles in [[The Name of the Rose]] for an example.

Successfully upgraded to MediaWiki version 1.10. Tables can now be classed as "sortable" to allow dynamic sorting by columns. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting for more information.

Once again I have been experimenting with wiki features and I came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NavFrame. Wikipedia uses a combination of CSS and Javascript to make collapsible navigation boxes, which is perfect for spoilers (see [[Template:Spoiler]]) and conversation threads (see [[Template:Conversation]]).
 
The neat thing about this method is that it allows nested levels and complete wiki-text markup. An example is included below:
 
{{spoiler
| content = This is a spoiler
  {{spoiler
  | subject = Extraneous details follow
  | content = This is a nested spoiler
  }}
}}
 
I will migrate the Dan Katz puzzle hunt pages across to these new templates and will probably place the solution spoilers directly underneath the puzzle rather than in the discussion page. I now feel that this method (as we had it originally) is a much more intuitive structure.
