I be bawolff. Also known as Brian Wolff or User:BWolff (WMF)
I am a MediaWiki developer. I primarily contribute to backend related things in core Mediawiki. Currently I work on the Wikimedia Security team, where among other things, I review new extensions prior to them being deployed. I am also the current maintainer of some extensions, such as: Extension:DynamicPageList (Wikimedia), Extension:SubpageSortkey, Extension:PageInCat, Extension:PreviewFunctions, Extension:NoCat, Extension:GoogleNewsSitemap (Think RSS version of DPL), and Extension:CategorySortHeaders. In general I like to fix interesting bugs that I hear about wherever they may be.
My home Wikimedia project was originally EN Wikinews, however now I spend almost all of my time doing MediaWiki related things.
I often hang out in the #mediawiki irc channel (among other channels) on freenode using the nick bawolff
. Feel free to talk to me! If for some reason you wanted to email me, you can do so at Special:EmailUser/Bawolff.
I used to work for the WMF, but I don't anymore. See meta:User:Bawolff for more details.
