< MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group

Focus Areas

In 2021, we focused mainly on these areas:

  • Continuation and improvement of MediaWiki user experience. We are striving to keep user experience of MediaWiki as consistent and integrated as possible for self-installed MediaWiki instances (see output).
  • Outreach to relevant stakeholders. We have continued our efforts to reach out to MediaWiki maintainers by co-organizing conferences.
  • Exchange of experience among stakeholders, i.e. primarily people running MediaWiki as their platform. This was done in regular online meetings and through our discussion platform on Element.
  • Stabilization and continuity of MediaWiki experience. We actively maintain a number of MediaWiki extensions (see output).

Output

  • We co-organized EMWCon 2021 and SMWCon 2021.
  • We worked on a management system for MediaWiki: MediaWiki Manager
  • We made MediaWiki development outside of the WMF ecosystem more visible with superrepositories: extensions and skins
  • We created re-usable components: Github
  • We maintain a number of MediaWiki extensions: see this list

Exchange of Experience

Real Life Meetings

Due to the travel restrictions imposed by the COIVD-19 pandemic, we did not conduct any real life meetings in 2021.

Online Meetings

  • 12 regular telcos (video calls), all documented. Average attendance: 20 participants, with a range of 15-30 participants.
  • Ongoing chat discussions on Element - Several rooms for different topics. Activity in these rooms has again considerably increased compared to last year. This is now a well frequented medium for exchange and requests for help.
