How to become a MediaWiki hacker/fa

این مقاله برای کمک به توسعه دهندگان برای یادگیری مهارت‌های اساسی مورد نیاز برای کمک به توسعه هستهٔ مدیا‌ویکی و افزونه‌های مدیا‌ویکی نوشته شده است.

The main path to get started with Wikimedia development is to contribute to Wikimedia projects that offer mentoring. An alternative without mentoring is to fix a good first bug.

If you are an experienced developer who is familiar with using MediaWiki already, visit the  instead.

دید اجمالی
مدیا‌ویکی نرم‌افزاری است که به ویکی‌پدیا، پروژه‌های خواهر و هزاران ویکی در سراسر جهان قدرت می‌بخشد.

Although MediaWiki is written in the PHP programming language, some supporting tools are written in other languages, including batch files, shell scripts, makefiles and Python. It uses jQuery as the client JavaScript library.

MediaWiki is primarily written for the LAMP platform and runs on most operating systems. MediaWiki primarily uses the MySQL or MariaDB database servers.

Development happens in an open source style, is largely coordinated online, and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, though volunteer community developers play a huge part as well.

محیط توسعه خود را تنظیم کنید
You can install and develop MediaWiki on Linux, Windows, or macOS using any of the three solutions below.

Most projects use Git and Gerrit. Follow the Gerrit tutorial to set up your developer account. Then you can move on to downloading our code, making changes, testing them, and submitting patches. There are two ways to set up your development environment: using a pre-configured virtual machine setup (Docker or Vagrant), or a manual configuration approach.

Docker

 * MediaWiki Docker – Run MediaWiki using Docker.

Generally this method is recommanded, and it's come with the MediaWiki repository. However, it can be very slow on Windows if you are using WSL2 based engine, due to the poor performance of its shared directory implementation. You can switch to the Hyper-V backend on the setting of Docker Desktop for better filesystem performance.

You can also try the experimental mwcli tool which provides basic orchestration functionality for MediaWiki docker containers.

Vagrant

 * MediaWiki Vagrant – Run MediaWiki on a Linux virtual machine using Vagrant.

Vagrant allows you start a MediaWiki instance you can develop as well as allowing you to add and develop any of 250+ extensions - all with a single command. This saves you installation and configuration time compared to manually installing but has the downside of running slower. You may also experience shared directory performance issues if you are using VirtualBox.



نصب دستی
MediaWiki can be developed by installing it natively on your system and editing its code. Installing it natively means it will run the fastest, but will take more time to configure than Docker or Vagrant.


 * 1)  — Check hardware requirements and install dependencies
 * 2)  — Download the latest source code from Git.
 * 3)  — Continue with the installation and initial configuration.
 * 4) Set up the various debug modes in your environment to display warning and errors early.



PHP
MediaWiki is written in PHP, so you'll need to get familiar with PHP to hack MediaWiki's core.

Many features require some amount of database manipulation, so you'll often need to be familiar with MySQL/MariaDB.

 * MySQL Reference Manuals — در بسیاری از زبان های مختلف موجود است.
 * MariaDB Knowledge Base
 * Database coding conventions within the MediaWiki community.


 * چیزهایی برای دانستن:
 * Test your code with MySQL/MariaDB.
 * MediaWiki currently uses MySQL and MariaDB as the primary database back-end. It also supports other DBMSes, such as PostgreSQL and SQLite. However, almost all developers use MySQL/MariaDB and don't test other DBs, which consequently break on a regular basis. You're therefore advised to use MySQL/MariaDB when testing patches, unless you're specifically trying to improve support for another DB. In the latter case, make sure you're careful not to break MySQL/MariaDB (or write queries that are horribly inefficient in it), since MySQL/MariaDB is what everybody else uses.



جاوا اسکریپت و سی‌اس‌اس
JavaScript and CSS have become omnipresent in front-end code. You don't have to be familiar with JavaScript, jQuery and CSS to work on MediaWiki, but you might need to, depending on what you choose to work on.

MediaWiki
The MediaWiki code base is large and some parts are ugly; don't be overwhelmed by it. When you're first starting off, aim to write features or fix bugs which only touch a small region of code.
