This is WebPlatform Docs MediaWiki Extension bundle, it contains the theme and various micro extensions we created to make WebPlatform Docs pages w/ MediaWiki.
The WebPlatform Project documentation pages is a wiki running with Wikimedia Foundation Wikipedia continuous deployment branch wmf/*.
NOTE: You can see current release we are running on our Special:Version page.
Use this repository as a reference to upgrade WebPlatform Docs MediaWiki packages. In order to work, refer to VAGRANT.md which explains how to work locally. We are using Wikimedia’s MediaWiki-Vagrant as a local workspace with Vagrant and VirtualBox "provider".
See DEPLOYMENT_IMPROVEMENTS.md, to see how to deploy on a publicly available server.
You can get WebPlatform’ test wiki data or if you are a trusted contributor even get a full database backup to work from.
Note that we will not give the live site database dump unless you are actually a contributor and trusted by the community. The community would have to agree on it firsthand. If you already are contributing, you should be aware who has server access and who to ask for it.
If you have short memory, some helpers on how to find configuration switches.

Since we are using wmf/* MediaWiki versions, we can look at Wikitech’s version they are using.
