نظرة عامة
MediaWiki is developed in an open source style using the PHP programming language primarily for the LAMP platform. Core development is largely coordinated 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.
 * 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 wikitech:Help:Access article if you'd like access.


 * Code review is performed on, 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 #Extending MediaWiki 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 six 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 its powerful "Action" 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:
