Wikipedia:Code review

Wikipedia's code review process is a way to receive feedback from other editors about new or proposed changes to a user script or Gadget. Such changes would usually be proposed by the script's maintainer, unless they are inactive. Other editors can comment on the changes or new script. This process may be used prior to making an edit request for a script in the MediaWiki namespace (which can only be edited by interface administrators). Code review is a useful place to centralise reviews from other editors.

Code reviews are entirely voluntary, open to any feedback, and nominators may also request feedback for specific issues. Editors and nominators may both edit articles during the discussion. Compared to real-world code review process, where experts themselves take part in reviewing the work of another, the volunteers here do not necessarily have qualifications or professional experience in coding. There are also no mandatory coding conventions, though it is suggested that a script be internally consistent in whatever conventions it does use.
