Talk:Amsterdam Hackathon 2013/Workshops

Set up your development environment for MediaWiki

Questions:

• How to set up the Eclipse plugin for review? Answer.
• How to reproduce the MediaWiki environment for local testing? See Installation
• Can I set up a Wikipedia-Like environment for a student project locally? (Including Jenkins)

Jenkins doesn't actually interface with Wikipedia for the most part - do you mean Wikimedia?

If you want to set up every single thing we have running on Wikimedia servers, you'll need a lot of infrastructure and I don't think it's really necessary.

If you do mean Wikipedia, Manual:Importing XML dumps is a helpful page. --MarkTraceur (talk) 21:21, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

It would be good to have a (simple) way to also have the same basic configuration and extensions as a given Wikimedia project. Right now the only way I can find is to go to Special:Version and import all extensions one by one, as well as finding all relevant configuration variables from mw:LocalSettings.php.
