Hi, I'm not aware of any discussions, but would add that I've been finding that patches for MediaWiki entirely or mostly written by AI (as opposed to AI used to assist) require a lot more code review and often really miss the mark to solve the problem on the first pass. At least one didn't even solve the problem described in the ticket (and wouldn't have even if they had addressed other comments)
I think if we adopt a similar policy or guideline, then it would need to be careful to avoid discouraging new developers learning by doing (i.e. using AI to help them learn) Would be interested to see what input others have on this Dreamy Jazz On Sun, 25 Jan 2026, 21:06 Travis Briggs via Wikitech-l, < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I know there's been a lot of discussion/concern and policy decisions > around usage of LLMs for authoring content in Wikimedia projects. > > I wonder if there's been similar discussion around AI coding for technical > editors?
