Good first bugs/azb

This page provides a list of software bugs and small missing features that have been identified as a good way to get involved with an existing Wikimedia project (not only MediaWiki core and its extensions).

This is one way to start getting familiar with the code in Wikimedia projects.

Note that the tasks linked below do not have assigned mentors. You will be mostly "on your own". We recommend to work on software projects with mentors: Check out the list of software projects that we recommend.

No matter which software project you work on, you must have read the Communication tips section to understand workflow and communication expectations.

If you decide to work on MediaWiki core or MediaWiki extensions, you must have read to understand the infrastructure and workflow.

Potential tasks to work on
The following sections describe a few example areas in which you can contribute, but you are not limited to these areas!

If the software project uses Wikimedia Phabricator, the upper right corner of a task shows the project that the problem is located in.

This provides you a hint about the Git repository that the code is located in, and about the development team which you could contact if you want to discuss it in a "broader" way (as comments in bug reports should preferably refer to the specific problem described in the report only).
