Resources for Tech ambassadors
Tech news | Tech News are summaries of tech changes going to impact users. You can get them delivered on your talk page (or a community discussion page) each week, and inform the rest of your community. | |
Glossary | If you are unfamiliar with some technical terms or projects, the Glossary is a good starting point. Many technical terms are listed there, and they often point to more information. | |
MediaWiki documentation | A lot of documentation about MediaWiki and its extensions is available on mediawiki.org. | |
Tech blogs | Major changes and new features are announced on the Wikimedia Foundation tech blog. You can also use the search box. See also the blog posts on Phabricator. | |
Technical search engine | This tool powered by Google searches across many of these resources at the same time. |
If you can't find the information you're looking for in those places, you can try to leave a message on the Tech forum or send an e-mail to the ambassadors list. Once you've found what you were looking for, don't forget to add it to the Glossary (if it wasn't already there) to help your fellow Wikimedians. |
