I'm happy to share that the first Web Perf Hero award of 2022 goes to Amir
Sarabadani!
This award is in recognition of Amir's work (@Ladsgroup) over the past six months, in
which he demonstrated deep expertise of the MediaWiki platform and significantly sped up
the process of saving edits in MediaWiki. This improved both the potential of MediaWiki
core, and as experienced concretely on WMF wikis, especially on
Wikidata.org.
