Developer account

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ __NOINDEX__  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:
 * Your preferred wiki username - will also be your git username, legal name would be reasonable (this will be permanent so choose wisely)
 * 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 an SVN account (yes/no)
 * Your preferred email address

and 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, find one of the admins on IRC and ask them privately for an account.

[ Request an account]

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
