Requests for comment/Archive 3

These are requests for comment in which MediaWiki developers and users draft ideas for the future of MediaWiki. Requests for comment are part of a review process to ensure that changes fit into our architecture guidelines.

RFCs are usually only for proposing major changes to MediaWiki core, or to extensions that are already widely used, that you think might be controversial. If you wish to create a new MediaWiki extension, or to make a minor core change, or one that will be likely to uncontroversial, there is no need to draft an RFC for it; go ahead and file a bug report, implement your change, and submit it in Gerrit for review. If you need advice on design decisions pertaining to such ideas, there are several other communication venues for making people aware of your proposal. See also planning a new extension.

If you want to propose a large change, you may wish to consult the request for comment process.

the Architecture committee tracks the status of RFCs in Phabricator now. Click the "Tracked" link on an in-progress RFC to find out its status. New RFCs should be filed as phabricator tickets, and assigned to the MediaWiki-RFCs project.

Create a new RFC on Phabricator The status of RFCs is tracked on the RFC workboard. Feel free to change the status of RFCs assigned to you as appropriate.

Below is a list of RFCs that have associated lists on this wiki. That list is purely informative, refer to the phabricator workboard for any RFCs current status.
