Developers/pt-br



Desenvolvedores são as pessoas que contribuem para o código do software MediaWiki. Eles confirmam as alterações no repositório central Git, enviando as alterações para revisão em, onde a última cópia do software é armazenada. Os desenvolvedores incluem funcionários pagos da Wikimedia Foundation e voluntários. Qualquer um pode enviar um patch para revisão depois de criar um (mas apenas os mantenedores podem mesclá-lo). Para ver quais desenvolvedores estão realmente ativos, experimente https://www.openhub.net/p/mediawiki/contributors, que fornece bons resumos de perseguição de todos os tipos de estatísticas divertidas.

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. Eles podem não ser realmente desenvolvedores; em muitos casos eles raramente usam seu acesso de commit, ou se usam, apenas para manter coisas não-MediaWiki no repositório.

Mantenedores
A maintainer of a specific project (including MediaWiki core or an 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.

História
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.
