All,
Do we have an existing method for extensions to
autogenerate documentation (via a commit hook or something) and then to
upload that to a documentation server? (Something akin to what we do with
MediaWiki core.)
We should have this for Doxygen, and make something similar for JSDuck --
the JS documentation system being pioneered by the VisualEditor team.

Long story short: the MediaWiki API could be included at
http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/apis
if someone wants to do the work. Codecademy is happy to have us there.
I think it is a good idea, in need of someone willing to drive this:
- It is a good excuse to improve our API documentation at mediawiki.org.
- Codecademy is a good place to reach to more developers.
- Maybe it is a good chance for someone to take this as a paid job?
The Wikimedia movement wants to spread the 1,3T of content we have, and
get more free content from as many channels as possible. Our API plays a
big role on this.
Therefore, I *personally* believe that a project to update the API
documentation at mediawiki.org and have corresponding exercises at
Codecademy has a chance to receive a grant if the proposal and the
candidate(s) are solid.
Interested? Let me help you.

Hello.
I wrote an extension[1] for Wikinews and Wiktionary to replace the
JS-driven custom tabs (Opinions in Wikinews, Citations/Template
documentation in Wiktionary).
According to the manual, as there were no "pros" heard from Design-l, now
the extension must undergo a technical design review, before it is decided
whether the extension is able to fly on production sites - deployment
review.

On my local Vagrant MediaWiki install
(https://github.com/wikimedia/wmf-vagrant), I'm getting:
Running test BUG 1887, part 2: A <math> with a thumbnail- math
enabled... No lock manager defined with the name `nullLockManager`.
when running the parser tests:
php tests/parserTests.php --file=extensions/Math/mathParserTests.txt
against master of the Math extension (MediaWiki is at git latest).
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it expected this would work in
production, meaning the test is broken?

Hello,
Due to some mistake I made during the Jenkins job overhaul last year,
the PHPUnit jobs were no more using $wgDevelopmentWarnings. That is now
fixed.
I have also enabled $wgShowExceptionDetails per bug 43059.
If that cause any serious trouble, shell users could change the setting
file on gallium at:
/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/_shared/ExtraSettings.php

Dear List(s),
Currently I'm inactive for Wikimedia after a lot of things changed. The
latest change is that I'm now working for a big datacentre and I do not
feel that I have enough time for other things.
I already got a few mails that I was collecting hats, so hereby I stop as:
LangCom member
Administrator for Mediawiki-l
Administrator for Wikitech
I thank you all.

Hi,
this is a second time I am opening this - last time we decided to merge
wikitech and labsconsole to make a documentation base for developers and
operation engineers (at least those working at labs - I consider operation
of bots and such services operation as well).
Since then, not much has happened. Me and Thehelpfulone were working on
some preparation for merge, by indexing some uncategorized pages on
wikitech, and flagging what can be safely removed (by leaving it on
wikitech and not merging at all).
Can we move forward in this? What needs to be done to merge these 2 and
finally have a central tech documentation for whole wikimedia project
Hello,
Wikitext editors can have media materials rendered using any arbitrary
size (the thumbnails wikitext syntax). Each different size would
produce a hit to the server backend which will generate a thumbnail for
that size.
The following requests for comment is about having a consistent set of
thumbnails sizes that are allowed to be rendered and let the client
browser to do the up or down scaling.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Standardized_thumbnails…
It would be nice to discuss about it on the list and amend the document
with any idea you might have :-]
