Congratulations and welcome folks! After setting off on the yellow brick road of MediaWiki development [1] you may find yourself in a dark forest of 12-year-old inaccurate wiki pages. You have a great opportunity to point out each twig you stumbled over as you go, and thereby help future developers who don't have a mentor strolling along.
- If something in the documentation is obviously wrong, Be Bold and fix it, - If something doesn't seem right, start a topic on its talk page and e-mail me. - If there's a missing piece, file a Phabricator ticket tagged #documentation <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=documentation> . Thanks in advance, have fun, see you in Oz^w IRC. I'm spagewmf. It's also extremely impressive to see volunteers from the community step up > to serve as mentors > +1 !
