Worked on the hallowelt/mediawiki repository over two months, delivering three features focused on search and API enhancements. Developed namespace-aware new page creation during search, ensuring that new pages are created in the correct namespace based on user selection, which improved workflow accuracy. Introduced a typeahead search URL parameter augmentation hook, enabling AB testing by allowing dynamic modification of API parameters before URL construction. Built a new API endpoint for query-dependent search profiles, exposing configurable parameters for search relevance tuning. Employed JavaScript and PHP across backend and front-end development, emphasizing extensible architecture and integration points without introducing major bugs or regressions.
September 2025 — Key accomplishment: delivered a new API endpoint for query-dependent search profiles in hallowelt/mediawiki, enabling configurable search behavior and paving the way for better relevance tuning. Implemented API surface to expose parameters for field weights and matching logic, with groundwork to pass profiles to the search backend. This establishes a foundation for targeted search improvements and faster iteration on relevance tuning. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on API surface and architectural readiness.

July 2025 — Key deliverables in hallowelt/mediawiki: namespace-aware new page creation during search and a typeahead URL parameter augmentation hook for AB testing. The namespace-aware page creation ensures new pages are created in the user-selected namespace from search results, improving user workflow and data integrity. The typeahead hook enables pre-construction augmentation of API parameters to support AB tests without touching core logic, enabling experiments on search relevance. Impact: faster, more accurate page creation; measurable experimentation capability with minimal risk. No major bugs reported; maintained stability and introduced extensible hooks for future enhancements. Technologies: JavaScript, restSearchClient.js, hook architecture, namespace handling, AB testing instrumentation.
