 Dear, Welcome to MediaWiki.org !

Yes, Welcome! This site is dedicated to the documentation of the MediaWiki software, the software behind many wikis, including that of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation projects.

Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a newcomer here:
 * About this site
 * How does MediaWiki work?
 * Help:Editing pages
 * Help:Navigation
 * Manual:FAQ

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site a beneficial documentation of the MediaWiki software. Thanks, and regards, Sir Lestaty de Lioncourt 22:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Help:Extension:ParserFunctions
Hello, imho, we should import meta:Help:ParserFunctions and merge it with Extension:ParserFunctions rather than creating one new page which seems to be a duplicate of the page currently on meta. i Alex  16:34, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The page on meta shouldn't be there; all help content should be here at mediawiki.org. Once we've found a place for the content here, we can soft-redirect the help pages at meta and the various wikimedia wikis to that content and have it centralised in one place.  I've posted on Project:Forum about maybe making another help namespace for content related to extensions. Also, we can't just "import" content from meta if we want it to be freely-distributable help content, as there are license issues.  Similarly, help content can't go in the Extension: namespace.

 * Extension: namespace is fine for help about extensions, and there's already a lot of help in extensions pages (such as Extension:InputBox). It would be a pain for extensions writers to have to split documentation in two different pages (one in Help: and the other one in Extension:). i Alex  17:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, I am used to using wikipedia, and was having trouble creating a few templates there because of a problem with the #time parser function when getting a 2 year date. I listed my question here, but I noticed you were the person who edited the page most, so I thought I would write on your talk page. 2 questions: 1) if the problem were fixed would it automatically apply on wikipedia too? (I am unfamiliar with the relation between mediawiki and wikipedia), and 2) would you have any suggestions on how to fix it or workarounds if not? I have an account on wikipedia if it is easier to communicate over there, but I don't have one on here, so I will just sign with an IP address, I suppose. Feel free to respond here, or on the ParserFunctions talk page link I asked on as well. (I gave more specific examples of the problem there) I'll check back later. Thanks! 24.236.101.233 07:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
