This page version is temporary. During the merger, the Product and Technology teams went through a major reorganization. The structure of headings below does seem to reflect the current team structure. Teams update their documentation on different platforms (MediaWiki.wiki, Wikitech, Phabricator, etc.) at their own pace. |
The Wikimedia Foundation Product and Technology department builds, improves and maintains the infrastructure of the Wikimedia sites.
