 Dear, Welcome to MediaWiki.org !

Yes, Welcome! This site is dedicated to the documentation of the MediaWiki software, the software behind many wikis, including that of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation projects.

Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a newcomer here:

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site a beneficial documentation of the MediaWiki software. Thanks, and regards, Tohd8BohaithuGh1 11:18, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Extension infoboxes
Please do not mess with the mediawiki parameter of the template infoboxes. The "+" in them means that it works for that version and all later versions, so adding in a note that it works on the current version of mediawiki is not only superfluous, but it floods Recent changes. Thanks. -- Skiz zerz  00:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That seems like complete overkill. Again, the + means that it works on later versions not because the extension author thinks it will, but because backwards-compatibility is a major point when updating anything regarding MediaWiki. This means that even if a method that an extension uses becomes deprecated, it is still available for use so that such extensions do not break. As such, there is a very small chance of an extension completely breaking in a later version of MediaWiki, and if that happens those that use the extension will let the author know at that time. Adding a compatibility section would be, as I said earlier, overkill and (imo) quite pointless. -- Skiz zerz  20:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
