I am a PHP developer and an editor on Wikipedia and meta. I operate several bot scripts which I refer to collectively as "TisaneBot." They create logs of the RecentChanges IRC channel. Note that some of these logs may be incomplete due to the bot going down for maintenance or other reasons. My commit name is tisane.

Extensions I have written

If you need support for these extensions, I will be happy to help you. Just drop me a line on my talk page.

Extension:FrontBackMatterForcedWikilinks — Useful on wikis that are mirror/supplements; I'm not sure any of those exist at the moment.
Extension:InterwikiIntegration — This will be a rather useful extension when it is finished. It helps integrate local wikis on the same farm.
Extension:MassBlank — Blank a large number of pages simultaneously; useful with Extension:PureWikiDeletion.
Extension:MirrorTools — When finished, will allow edits, moves, etc. to be made under any user name and with any timestamp; and it will do a lot of other stuff too.
Extension:PureWikiDeletion — Implements the pure wiki deletion system.
Extension:RemotePageExistenceDetection — Helps integrate with foreign wikis.

To do list

Here are some tasks I want to accomplish at some point. Some tasks are higher priority (i.e. importance) than others, but I've bolded the ones that are likely to get done first due to their being easier to accomplish.

High priority

Create capability:

Done To have existence-detecting wikilinks to a page on a remote wiki (or other website) using a list of existent remote pages
To incorporate the list of existent remote pages into local categories
To autospawn remote edits to the local wiki through syncing ("s") edits (or maybe "e" for "external" edits, or "i" for "interwiki" edits?)
Done To implement "front matter" and "back matter"
Done To implement pure wiki deletion (see bug 3843) - this one could be a bit tricky
To resolve page name collisions associated with those autospawns
To resolve and prevent user name collisions between local wiki and remote wiki
To do differential backups and incremental backups as a method of data dumping, using a web interface or API
To regulate access control of individual pages
To implement user-creatable wikiplexes
To implement local/remote differentiation in wikilinks (for partially integrated wikis)
Done To implement forced wikilinks - i.e. word/phrases that are wikified locally regardless of whether they were wikified at the remote wiki
Allow one page title to be an alias for another
Make the syncing or maintenance edits be even less visible than bot edits

Medium/low priority

Create capability:

For a user to delete a page whose history contains only edits by that user - possibly mooted by PWD
For non-email based private messaging
For user authentication (e.g. by PayPal)
For revamped talk pages (probably with an editable header and then a messages part; the header might be front matter)
For one-step addition of images to a gallery
For wikigold transfers
For making keyboard shortcuts display or not, according to user preferences
For users to protect their own userpages
For protection whitelists and blacklists to be created
For implementation of a <dubious> tag that prevents content from being viewed unless the user opts in
For implementation of red interwiki links to check for page existence across local wikis; see Bug 11
