Vista xeral
MediaWiki is the software that powers Wikipedia, its sister projects and thousands of wikis all over the world.
MediaWiki is written in the PHP programming language.[1] It uses jQuery as the client JavaScript library.
MediaWiki is primarily written for the LAMP platform[2] and runs on most operating systems. MediaWiki primarily uses the MySQL and MariaDB database servers.[3]
MediaWiki é desenvolvido nun código abertostyle[4] usando a linguaxe de programación PHP [5] sobre todo para a plataforma LAMP[6] [7]. O desenvolvemento do núcleo é en gran parte coordinado liña.
- Development discussion happens on various mailing lists and IRC channels.
The main developer list is wikitech-l. The main developer IRC channel is #mediawiki connect.
- Source code is managed using the Git version control system.
- Code review for most projects is performed on Gerrit . Follow this tutorial to set up Git and Gerrit in order to submit patches.
- Bug reports and tasks for most projects are managed on Phabricator .
- Developers extending or interfacing with MediaWiki (instead of working on the core code) have several convenient extension points, including the API, the Hooks system and Skins – see the #Extending MediaWiki section of this page for an overview.

Extending MediaWiki
MediaWiki has been designed to allow for modification without changing the "core code". This makes it easy to update to a new version of MediaWiki without having to manually merge in old extension code changes. There are six main extension points that allow developers to change or extend what MediaWiki can do. The extension points are:
- API – access the data and metadata of MediaWiki instances through its web API.
- Hooks – every time a given event happens, do something.
- Parser functions – create a new command like:
{{#if:...|...|...}}
. - Skins – change the look and feel of MediaWiki.
- Special pages – add a new special page.
- Tag extensions – create a new tag like:
<newtag>...</newtag>
. - Extending wiki markup – add a parser hook to modify the content of wikitext.

Notas
- ↑ Not all of MediaWiki is written in PHP. Some supporting tools are written in other languages, including batch files, shell scripts, makefiles and Python.
- ↑ MediaWiki runs on most platforms that can support PHP, however, the lack of certain utilities or operating system features may limit the functionality or performance of MediaWiki on non-LAMP platforms.
- ↑ MediaWiki has support for DBMS other than MySQL and MariaDB, including PostgreSQL and SQLite.
- ↑ Os creadores son unha mestura de voluntarios e funcionarios pagados Fundación Wikimedia (ou contratados). Para unha lista completa de quen traballa co código MediaWiki, lea o artigo Developers
- ↑ Non todo MediaWiki está escrito en PHP. Algunhas ferramentas de apoio están escritos noutras linguaxes, incluíndo batch files shell scripts, makefiles e Python.
- ↑ MediaWiki execútase na maioría das plataformas que poden apoiar PHP, con todo, a falta de certos servizos públicos ou recursos do sistema operativo poden limitar a funcionalidade ou funcionamento de MediaWiki en plataformas NO-LAMP.
- ↑ MediaWiki ten soporte para DBMS exceptoMySQL, incluíndo Oracle, PostgreSQL e SQLite.
- ↑ Browse the source code and revisions of code repositories in Gerrit or download the source code to your system by using Gerrit .
