Useful stuff

 * Writing an extension for deployment
 * http://shorturls.redwerks.org (see Manual:Short URL)
 * Manual:JS/API/UI Extension Developer Library
 * Git/TLDR
 * investigate withJS url param (possibly only enabled in commons, i.e. not a mediawiki feature)
 * Manual:Code -- overview of mediawiki
 * Markup spec -- step-by-step operation of the parser


 * API
 * Special:ApiSandbox
 * API:Client code (JsMwApi looks interesting)
 * API:Data formats and Manual:Ajax
 * Bug 20814 - Enable $wgCrossSiteAJAXdomains for wikimedia sites (only WMF wikis allowed to make AJAX requests to each other)
 * 19907 -- "For non-credentialed requests, we can send Allow-Origin: *" -- what does this mean?

Interesting

 * WikiOverflow
 * MediaWiki IdeaTorrent

Potential bugs for hacking sessions

 * easy*
 * Harmonize special page titles (Delete page✓ / Delete → Delete file / Action completed → Page deleted / Block user → User blocked)
 * Difference between revisions of "Pagename" → Pagename | Difference between revisions
 * 29488 - Make pages accessed from special:random display a redirect notice. Most useful for when a custom random link --e.g. Special:Random/talk-- is followed.
 * 3753 - Option to hide rows from Special:Contributions where the edit is the most recent to a page
 * When a category contains elements whose sort key is a space, the header in the category should be a  so that it aligns with other columns, "cont.", etc.
 * Add class to files that are redirects
 * Redirected files don't show the "redirected from" line
 * Move options (e.g. watch src & target page) not preserved if error returns editor to move page (e.g. destination page exists)
 * patrolling:
 * Autopromotion rule to make a user's edits auto-patrolled if all their previous edits (minimum: X) have been patrolled
 * The "Marked as patrolled" page's "Return to Special:RecentChanges" link should preserve the RC configs (e.g. hideanons, etc)
 * Can't patrol a redirect's first revision (mark as patrolled link should show up as it does for a new page)
 * Patrolling a the first revision of a page: no diff link in the RC, one has to click the page title, which displays the latest revision for patrolling, rather than the 1st
 * "Mark this page as patrolled" is ambiguous. Doesn't that work by revisions? Clarify.
 * Marking an edit as patrolled should have a link back to the patrolled edit!


 * medium*
 * 27087 - Rename curid and wgArticleId to pageid and wgPageId
 * 10268 - Watchlist RSS feed should include diffs (like page history rss does. See also: 471 - Basic XML Feed support for watchlist)
 * Also investigate whether RC feed omits diffs for pages in the MediaWiki namespace
 * 7908 - Footnotes content should appear in a tooltip | 5231 - Mouseover explanations for interlanguage links in native languages
 * 14901 - Email notification mistakes log action for new page creation (don't send emails saying a page was created when it was deleted, protected, etc. See also Extension:Email notification/to-do. Also, there was a post in the planet wikimedia about simplifying the email text, but I can't find it... Account Creation Improvement Project/Testing content?). Meta-bug for email notification issues: 1932
 * Special:UserList and Special:ActiveUsers: Add option to filter out blocked users.
 * Special:UserList: Contribs filter should include only non-deleted contribs count.
 * Add checkbox to Patrol log to allow hiding automatic patrols
 * Undeleting a page should show a checkbox to undelete the corresponding subject/talk dual
 * Investigate illegal title issues (see chat log w/ robin, Manual:$wgIllegalFileChars, Manual:$wgLegalTitleChars, docs/title.txt, and includes/Title.php's )
 * try uploading a file and setting its target filename to include a /
 * "Associated namespace" checkbox in Special:RecentChanges should work also when namespace filter is inverted
 * auto-generated icons for sidebar items: lowercase everything; replace periods (and possibly other special characters) with dashes


 * hard*
 * Is it possible to change the url when following a redirect? what are the drawbacks? cache invalidation? reload (new http request)?
 * would it be possible to enable transclusion of Special:Random?
 * Allow  parameter to index.php so wikitext can be passed directly in the url (and thus customized, while a preload file can't take parameters). See Manual:Creating pages with preloaded text and Manual:Parameters to index.php
 * Allow filtering popular pages by namespace (e.g. Special:PopularPages/talk). Also allow transcluding it and adding a limit (Special:PopularPages/10 or Special:PopularPages?limit=10)

''* Note: These are my personal estimates. I have no idea how optimistic I'm being in some of these.
