Developers/ar



المطورون هم الأفراد الذين يساهمون في الكود المصدري لبرمجيات ميدياويكي. هم من يرسلون التغييرات إلى مستودع غت المركزي عن طريق رفع التغييرات لأغراض مراجعتها على حيث تخزن آخر نسخة من البرمجيات. تشمل كلمة مطورين كل من موظفي مؤسسة ويكيميديا بأجر والمتطوعين. يمكن لأي فرد كان رفع رقعة برمجية لأغراض مراجعتها بعد إنشاء (إلا أنه يحق للقائمين بالصيانة فقط دمجها). كي ترى من هم المطورين النشطاء فعلا، جرب https://www.openhub.net/p/mediawiki/contributors، الذي يقدم لك موجز تتبعي يتميز بكافة أنواع الإحصاءات.

Developers are not to be confused with system administrators, who are people having shell or root access to Wikimedia Foundation servers, where the code repository is stored. They might not really be developers; in many cases they rarely use their commit access, or if they do, only to maintain non-MediaWiki things in the repository.

القائمون على الصيانة
A maintainer of a specific project (including MediaWiki core or a extension) has +2 access to the relevant Git repository, so that they can merge patches others submitted. They usually regularly respond to bug reports and changeset review requests. A list of maintainers are kept at.

التاريخ
Historically, developers also managed Wikimedia Foundation servers (now managed by system administrators). Before bureaucrat and steward groups were created, developers were the only ones able to promote and demote sysops, and lock user accounts (before the "block" feature of MediaWiki existed). Thus they had an important role in the Wikipedia power structure.

From April 2006 to March 2012, Subversion was used. Only people with Subversion commit access (which must be approved by SVN administrators) could submit codes. Codes submitted to Subversion were merged to MediaWiki codebase immediately (though only be manually deployed to Wikimedia wikis by a system administrator), and may be reviewed by "coders" before they are deployed. In January 2013, the MediaWiki SVN repository was made read-only. All active projects have moved to Git.
