User:Mainframe98

You can find my global user page on meta. I can also be found under the same name on wikitech. Here, I mainly focus on pages in the API namespace, MediaWiki core technical documentation, my own extensions, as well as some translations to Dutch.

I consider myself to have a fair bit of knowledge of MediaWiki (core) and its extensions, mostly on the back-end. Most of the time I can either help you or point you to the relevant documentation, so if you have a question, feel free to ask me!

 * Project:Proposal for changing logo of MediaWiki, 2020/Round 2 - I voted here.
 * More logos can be found here.
 * The specific images I keep thinking about are File:Mediawiki logo proposal (yellow solid, capitalised).svg and File:Mediawiki logo proposal (yellow translucent, capitalised).svg. (And yes, that is in a different order than I voted; turns out that despite the yellow translucent being the better logo choice, the solid yellow works better in modern UI design)
 * https://watch-translations.toolforge.org/
 * Taking screenshots for a skin. Contains the logo and example text to use.

[17:40] tgr: If it's in core, then I suppose it won't do much harm in an extension. Thank you! [17:40]  :-D [17:41]  That's a quite useful excuse! "If it's done in core, it won't do much harm in an extension!" :-D Bash
