I would like to mention http://www.phpeclipse.de/ - eclipse plugin including possibility to attach a debugger, which works for me with a xampp installation. Don't miss the tutorial at http://docs.schuetzengau-freising.de/modules/xdocman/index.php?doc=xo-002&am... ng=en

This one http://meta.rilnet.org/wiki/Mediawiki/Database/Tables/Text is easy to understand because it shows how the tables are linked.
What is so confusing for me as someone who wants to dig into that world is that there is not one 'easy' approach.
One first has to learn all about the Doxygen's Apaches PHP and the others contributing to the game.
I guess that the key to success is persistence and some helpful people.

For the database, you can have a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Database_layout,
which includes
an overview of all the database tables currently used in
MediaWiki.
I've tried to make sure everything is more-or-less
accurate (probably
less), but it should be accurate for MW 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10alpha.
This really is of great help! This could fairly easy be drawn also with UML class diagrams with essential "views" of the classes like this (just a "demo page"):
http://meta.rilnet.org/wiki/Mediawiki/Database/Tables/Text
As for the class structure, does
http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/ help?
I've found it to be useful many times.
It definitely helps - if you don't get lost...
Also here it would help a lot to have simple diagrams
showing things
at different "levels" of complexity & abstraction. Diagrams should capture not only different "levels" but also how the same classes/tables are used within different "scopes" (like the
text does
in the very good database descriptions!). Daagrams should
preferably
illustrate "use cases", like "when deleting a page then it
affects..." etc.
Such diagrams/views would give Context to the Details. This is important since Details without a meaningful Context is of lesser value to the newbie to Mediawiki (which I am one of).
