User:Saper
I am a MediaWiki developer (Gerrit, SVN) and a checkuser on Polish Wikipedia and as such I have identified myself to the Foundation. I would like to get a checkuser bit here to do the regular cross-wiki work (as handled currently by stewards) but also - as I am submitting patches for the Extension:CheckUser to check for various peculiarities of the behaviour of CheckUser software. For example, I am active in fixing bug:34838 that already got fixed in 3 extensions. MediaWiki wiki is a special case, since it is usually upgraded first and has different set of extensions enabled. Unfortunately, access to test wikis does not reveal complexity of issues seen in production, as well as I understand reluctance of stewards/checkusers to reveal private data to someone who is doing development as an external volunteer. « Saper // talk » 14:25, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
