Geliştiriciler MediaWiki yazılımı koduna katkıda bulunan kişilerdir. Yazılımın en son kopyasının saklandığı değişiklikleri incelemek için merkezi Git deposunda değişiklik yaparlar. Geliştiriciler arasında ücretli Wikimedia Vakfı personeli ve gönüllüler bulunmaktadır. Herkes oluşturduktan sonra inceleme için bir yama gönderebilir (ancak yalnızca koruyucular birleştirebilir). Hangi geliştiricilerin aslında aktif olduğunu görmek için, her türlü eğlenceli istatistiğin güzel sapık özetlerini veren https://www.openhub.net/p/mediawiki/contributors deneyin.

Developers are not to be confused with system administrators, who are people having shell or root access to Wikimedia Foundation servers, where the code repository is stored. They might not really be developers; in many cases they rarely use their commit access, or if they do, only to maintain non-MediaWiki things in the repository.

Bakımcılar
A maintainer of a specific project (including MediaWiki core or a extension) has +2 access to the relevant Git repository, so that they can merge patches others submitted. They usually regularly respond to bug reports and changeset review requests. A list of maintainers are kept at /Maintainers.

History
Historically, developers also managed Wikimedia Foundation servers (now managed by system administrators). Before bureaucrat and steward groups were created, developers were the only ones able to promote and demote sysops, and lock user accounts (before the "block" feature of MediaWiki existed). Thus they had an important role in the Wikipedia power structure.

From April 2006 to March 2012, Subversion was used. Only people with Subversion commit access (which must be approved by SVN administrators) could submit codes. Codes submitted to Subversion were merged to MediaWiki codebase immediately (though only be manually deployed to Wikimedia wikis by a system administrator), and may be reviewed by "coders" before they are deployed. In January 2013, the MediaWiki SVN repository was made read-only. All active projects have moved to Git.
