Hello,
I am Bill Morrisson, a 4th year Under graduate Student from Catholic University Insitute, Buea, Cameroon. I want to contribute to Wikimedia's opensource projects. I am a newbie in PHP and MySQL(just started learning the language 8 months ago) and had in mind in contributing to the organization as soon as I am comfortable in the languages. I would like to contribute in PHP and looking forward to learn javascript on the go with other projects as well. I would love to hear from wikimedia if there is anything I can do first.
Thank you

Thanks to Andre and Johan for the welcoming message and the tips to start out in the wikimedia community. I have been taking my time to look at the different links Andre pointed me to. Looking at this particular link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs, I looked at this particular bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116759 and I'm confused on which particular tables.sql file to modify for there are several versions of it.

The bug references ORACLE, so its probably maintenance/oracle/tables.sql

Actually, it has not been done. The last change (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/history/master/maintenance/or...) to oracle/tables.sql is 5f8edb2c0a24 , which is the change that caused the problem.
You can also see that change did not touch the dummy page.
Thanks,
