Welcome to MediaWiki.org!
Yes, welcome! This site is dedicated to documenting the MediaWiki software, the software behind many wikis, including that of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation projects.
Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a newcomer here:
- Landing instructions
- Project:About
- How does MediaWiki work?
- Help:Editing pages
- Frequently asked questions
- How to contribute
- Policies
If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site useful documentation of the MediaWiki software.

Hello, it's very nice that you want to help with coding, but [1] is not very realistic: in fact, I can't find a single patch by you in gerrit.
- How to become a MediaWiki hacker explains how to get started.
- Once you've fixed some bugs, if there's one component which proves most interesting for you, I suggest that you talk with its maintainer (if any), or with whoever merged your changes in that area.
- As for Talk:Developers/Maintainers, please move your suggestions elsewhere, for instance Project:Support desk. How to report a bug explains how to make such suggestions in the future (both are already in bugzilla).
