Annoying little bugs

This page is meant to be a curated list for bugs that we think should be relatively easy for a new MediaWiki coder to fix, or tiny features you could add. These are a good way to start familiarizing yourself with the MediaWiki code base.

Defects to fix:

• Navigation headings should not be lower-cased in German (and other languages)
  • This might be as easy as a CSS change in a Skin. Talk with us in the #mediawiki channel on FreeNode IRC.
• Add PLURAL support for MediaWiki:Recordadmin-notset
  • The RecordAdmin extension lets you link HTML forms to wiki templates, to give you the ability to keep records in a MediaWiki installation. Source code.
• custom license: wrong link to Copyright_tags
• See Parsoid TODO
• Make cite expand template arguments inside <ref>'s. Requires passing the $frame to recursiveTagParse.

Little enhancements to add:

• Add block-options to Special:CentralAuth
  • In the CentralAuth extension (source), figure out how to add the user's block options to section "Blocked status".
• Document all configuration variables (usable in LocalSettings.php)
  • Look at the source.
• See Parsoid TODO

You can also look at this Bugzilla query.

If you have any trouble or questions, please feel free to contact sumanah or ask for help via IRC.
