Non-development tasks for developers

Although developers are given server access to assist them with developing the software and maintaining the hardware, there are a number of non-development tasks which can only be carried out by people with server access. Users of Wikimedia projects rely on developers to carry these out and they request assistance on various pages across the projects. This page brings together a selection of the tasks which developers can help with when they need a break from real development work. These tasks may be a good way for developers to avoid wikistress caused by too much time looking at code.

1. Language files to be updated
2. Requests for languageXX.php update
3. en:Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit
4. Changing username (See also English requests)
5. Server outage message
6. Fundraising site notice
7. Requests for logos
8. Requests for queries
9. en:Wikipedia:SQL query requests
