Gerrit is the tool we use to handle code reviews. Code review is at the heart of our development process. Any software contribution to MediaWiki or any other Wikimedia hosted project is reviewed and approved at gerrit.wikimedia.org before being merged to our Git repositories.

All Gerrit users can review contributions. Maintainers have the special rights to approve or reject contributions.

Prerequisites

Learn how to contribute to MediaWiki development and how to set up a functioning pre-configured development installation of MediaWiki.

If you are an experienced developer, visit the Developer hub instead.
