Developer access

Join the MediaWiki development community

Thanks for joining the MediaWiki development community. By doing so, you gain access to two important tools:

• Gerrit is the tool that we use for reviewing code contributions to our Git repositories before merging them into the main branch. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the Git and Gerrit workflow to submit changes.
• Wikimedia Labs is an environment used for staging and testing code and services. You'll get an account on Labs, but you'll need to be added to specific projects before you can do anything there.

The centralized accounts (LDAP) are managed from the Wikimedia Labs console (more information).

To get an account, leave a comment with:

• Preferred git username - will also be your Git commit author name, so your full name or wiki username would be reasonable (this will be permanent so choose wisely!). Letters, numbers, and spaces are okay.
• Your svn account name if you have one, or if you didn't, your preferred shell account name (1 to 17 numbers and lower case ASCII letters, as well as the - (hyphen-minus) and _ (low line) characters)
• Did you previously have a svn.wikimedia.org account? (Yes/No)
• Your preferred email address

And then someone with the relevant privileges will create an account for you. Check back here to see whether it's been done, then do your initial login.

If you don't want to post a public request, you can privately email User:Sumanah and give her the information above to get an account, but it will take longer.

By requesting an account in Labs, you are agreeing to the Labs terms of service.

Prior to March 2012, Wikimedia used Subversion as its version control system. The commit access process for Subversion is archived here: Developer access/Subversion
