Pengembang adalah orang-orang yang berkontribusi kepada kode perangkat lunak MediaWiki. Mereka mengusulkan perubahan ke repositori Git pusat dengan mendorong perubahan untuk ditinjau di di mana salinan perangkat lunak yang terbaru disimpan. Pengembang terdiri dari staf Yayasan Wikimedia yang dibayar dan para sukarelawan. Semua orang bisa mengajukan perubahan untuk ditinjau setelah membuat sebuah (tetapi hanya para pemelihara yang bisa menggabungkannya). Untuk melihat pengembang mana saja yang benar-benar aktif, cobalah https://www.openhub.net/p/mediawiki/contributors, yang memberikan ringkasan rinci dari berbagai jenis statistik menarik.

Pengembang jangan disamakan dengan pengurus sistem, yaitu orang-orang yang punya akses shell atau root ke peladen Wikimedia Foundation, di mana repositori kode disimpan. Mereka belum tentu merupakan pengembang; dalam kebanyakan kasus, mereka jarang menggunakan akses commit mereka atau hanya menggunakannya untuk memelihara hal-hal non-MediaWiki di repositori.

Pemelihara
A maintainer of a specific project (including MediaWiki core or an 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 Developers/Maintainers.

Sejarah
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.
