About this episode

MediaWiki, the world's most widely used open source wiki software, is not just for Wikipedia... and hacking it is not just for developers! MediaWiki is designed in such a way that users can modify and extend its interface and functionality without ever needing to touch a line of PHP. This talk will reveal some of MediaWiki's highly useful but little known features, and cover some of the most interesting and popular ways it has been extended. Come by and find out how to get the most out of your MediaWiki experience, whether it be for editing a Wikimedia project, or your favourite software project's documentation wiki.Brianna Laugher is a committee member for Wikimedia Australia, a non-profit organisation incorporated in Victoria for Wikimedians living in Australia. She blogs on Wikimedia and free culture topics and has been a Wikimedia contributor since 2005. She is glad she discovered Wikipedia at the end of her degree and not the start.
