Historically, before the MediaWiki.org wiki was created, most of the development and user support information was to be found at [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]] (an older site, which deals with [[:Category:Meta|meta]] subjects relating to all WMF projects and wikis). The slightly newer MediaWiki.org wiki became the sole place for development, support and {{tag|documentation}} of the MediaWiki software, and much of the earlier software-specific content originally created on the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki has now been moved across to the MediaWiki.org wiki. | ||

Deletion decisions, for example, are usually made unilaterally by sysops, rather than being processed through 'x for deletion' pages. Therefore, MediaWiki.org has been compared to Hollywood depictions of the 'old west' in which, after sheriffs (i.e. sysops) have been selected, there is little oversight of what they do. | ||
