New content for "About MediaWiki" description
MediaWiki is an open source wiki package written in PHP, originally for use on Wikipedia. Though you may use MediaWiki every day on Wikipedia, you might not be aware of its use in other Wikimedia Foundation projects, including Wikibooks, Wikivoyage, and more. There is much work to be done in order to increase worldwide participation and stabilize the wiki infrastructure. You can help out MediaWiki in all sorts of ways, including coding, bug testing, translating, and more. If you'd rather not work on the core engine or use PHP, Javascript-based extensions are available for you to use to improve the interface of MediaWiki. You can also work on templates made with Lua, a cross-platform scripting language, make skins to customize wiki appearances, and help out with the mobile front-end to improve MediaWiki's mobile view feature. Helping out may be daunting at first, but tutorials and IRC channels are available to help.
