Este es un resumen de alto nivel del desarrollo de MediaWiki que incluye enlaces a los principales documentos, recursos y herramientas disponibles a los desarrolladores de MediaWiki. Está escrito para desarrolladores especializados en LAMP con experiencia en el uso de MediaWiki.

Como guía introductoria al desarrollo de MediaWiki, leer how to become a MediaWiki hacker.

Puedes encontrar ayuda para la instalación o personalización de MediaWiki en Sysadmin hub y para la utilización de MediaWiki en User hub.

Resumen
MediaWiki está desarrollado al estilo código abierto usando el lenguaje de programación PHP principalmente para la plataforma LAMP. El desarrollo principal se coordina en gran parte online.


 * Development discussion happens on various mailing lists and IRC channels. The main developer list is wikitech-l. The main developer IRC channels are #mediawiki and #wikimedia-dev. Read the Developers article to get a sense for who the people on the mailing lists and IRC channels are.


 * The MediaWiki roadmap shows rough information about when major development work is scheduled.


 * Source code is managed using the Git revision control system. Read the Git article for an overview of how the MediaWiki developers use Git. Read the labsconsole Help:Access article if you'd like access.


 * Code review is performed on Gerrit, see this tutorial to get set up with git and gerrit in order to submit patches.


 * Developers extending or interfacing with MediaWiki (instead working on the core code) have several convenient extension points, including the API, the Hooks system and Skins – see the section of this page for an overview.

Extending MediaWiki
MediaWiki has been designed to allow for modification without changing the "core code". This makes it easy to update to a new version of MediaWiki without having to manually merge in old extension code changes. There are five main extension points that allow developers to change or extend what MediaWiki can do. The extension points are:


 * API – access the data and metadata of MediaWiki instances through a powerful web API.


 * Hooks – every time a given event happens do something.


 * Parser Functions – create a new command like:


 * Skins – change the look and feel of MediaWiki.


 * Special Pages – add a new special page.


 * Tag Extensions – create a new tag like:
