PROFILE

Greg Rundlett

Worked on SemanticMediaWiki and SemanticResultFormats repositories, delivering compatibility and UI improvements across backend and frontend. Addressed cross-version database access by replacing deprecated methods in PHP, ensuring stable exports and maintainability. Enhanced parser reliability for PHP 8.1 by updating SectionTag handling and expanding unit tests to cover null input and attribute parsing, reducing deprecation warnings and CI noise. On the frontend, aligned gallery rendering with MediaWiki’s evolving HTML, refining overlay and redirect logic using JavaScript and jQuery, and adding comprehensive QUnit tests. Demonstrated a methodical approach to API integration, database management, and robust test coverage to support ongoing platform upgrades.

Monthly summary for 2025-01: Delivered a cross-version compatibility fix for Semantic MediaWiki exports by updating the SMW Export Controller to use a static getDBHandle() instead of the deprecated wfGetDB(). The solution uses MediaWikiServices to obtain a replica database handle for newer MediaWiki versions and gracefully falls back to the DB_REPLICA connection for older versions, ensuring reliable read access across versions. The change reduces runtime DB-connection errors during exports and improves stability in multi-version deployments. The work focused on deprecation removal, service-based DB access, and robust fallbacks, reflecting a commitment to maintainability and reliability.
