Web API'en

Den Inhalt vun alle Wikimedia Projeten ass ënner fräie Lizenzen disponibel. Schreift Code fir op dësen immense Pool vu fräiem Wëssen zouzegräifen, en z'änneren an ze vergréisseren. Benotzt de Guide fir mat der API, deen op all MediaWiki Wiki disponibel ass, unzefänken. Aner Open Data Quellen, inklusiv XML an SQL Dumps, sinn och disponibel. Write code to access, remix and grow this immense pool of free knowledge. Follow the tutorial to get started with the API, available on all MediaWiki wikis, and other APIs for content and Wikidata. Other open data sources, including XML and SQL dumps, are also available.

Entwécklung

Our code is all free and open source. Choose a project, provide a patch, and fix a task!

Wikimedia projects use a variety of languages such as PHP and JavaScript in MediaWiki and its extensions, Lua (in Templates), CSS/LESS (in skins etc.), Objective-C, Swing and Java (in Mobile Apps and Kiwix), Python (in Pywikibot), C++ (in Huggle), or C# (in AWB).

Create bots to process content and host your tools on Toolforge. Hack on mobile apps or on desktop applications. Or help Site Reliability Engineering maintain the server configuration.

Testen

Help improve the quality of our projects through PHPUnit testing, automated browser testing via Selenium, and Continuous Integration. Report your first bug or help with existing bug reports.
