Good first bugs

This page is meant to be a curated list for bugs that the Bugmeister thinks should be relatively easy for a new MediaWiki coder to fix, as well as a good way to start familiarizing yourself with the MediaWiki code base.


 * Should return http status code 304 NOT MODIFIED appropriately when accessing a &action=raw page
 * "Adding the following near the top of  in   also checks the last-modified time with much less code and duplication..."  Go ahead and make that change in.
 * New edit emails should offer a single-diff link
 * Look in.
 * Add a direct unwatch link to entries on Special:Watchlist
 * Join us in the #mediawiki channel on FreeNode IRC to talk about how to turn the JavaScript snippets mentioned here into a gadget!
 * Extension:Collection should copy the book title automatically to the stored "book page" input field
 * When you load an existing book, the book name should be included in the appropriate "Save and share your book" field. Know some JavaScript/jQuery? Look in Extension:Collection for the file to modify.
 * Upload wizard: Upload link not changing cursor to a hand
 * The CSS for the "Click here to upload a file" link might need fixing. Check the code for Extension:UploadWizard.
 * RDNS link in "checkuser-toollinks" message dead
 * In the CheckUser extension (source), look for the reference to  in CheckUser.i18n.php.
 * Add block-options to Special:CentralAuth
 * Navigation headings should not be lower-cased in German (and other languages)
 * Document all configuration variables (usable in LocalSettings.php)
 * Include language name placeholder in message livetranslate-translate-to
 * Add PLURAL support for MediaWiki:Recordadmin-notset
 * What links here pager says "No pages link to ..." when it's not true
 * There is an existing patch to polish.
