The annoying, unintuitive, poorly documented mess that is #MediaWiki configuration aside, I'm kind of pleased with how bardicperspiration.com is coming along. Not that anyone is ever going to like, use it but at least it look better.

Random observation: The OATHAuth extension on #mediawiki breaks the upgrade script in some versions. Finding that info was an utter pain in my tail, like omg.

The first page to visit when you stumble on a new #MediaWiki instance is [[Special:Version]] right?

#Mediawiki is useful but it is super unintuitive to manage and updating is an absolute nightmare, ugh.

The December 2024 @wikimediafoundation developer satisfaction survey results have been published!

This survey is used by the #WikimediaFoundation to measure developer satisfaction in the #WikiMedia and #MediaWiki communities, & determine where to invest resources in the future.

Read it, Analyse the Results, Talk about it, And ask questions!: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Developer_Satisfaction_Survey/2025

Is there somewhere™ some information on how the mechanism for #mediawiki templates were created?

They are very important for Wikipedia, but they seem very different than most other kinds of template languages I am aware of.

Erster Tag beim #ecruhr25: Best Practics in #Moodle, Kratzbilder und #MediaWiki-basiertes Lehrbuch.

#OnThisDay (2012-03-22) Chad (^demon/) made the first official commit to the #MediaWiki core in Git using @gerritreview and #Git-Review as part of the #SVN to #Git conversion project.

> Fatal error: Uncaught ExtensionDependencyError: LDAPAuthorization is not compatible with the current installed version of LDAPProvider (2.0.9), it requires: 3.*.

The extension experience in #MediaWiki through their download portal is .... unbelievable bad!

You can only download THE latest version for each MediaWiki release, and they are sometimes not compatible at all.

it never ceases to be a little bit cool to see things you've written in use on other #MediaWiki sites
