About Me
[edit ]I am a developer focused on enhancing the **MediaWiki** ecosystem through tools that streamline the content creation process. My current focus is on bridging the gap between media management and on-wiki editing.
Current Projects
[edit ]Layers Extension
[edit ]I am the primary developer for the Extension:Layers , a non-destructive image editor and markup tool designed specifically for MediaWiki environments.
The core philosophy of Layers is to **eliminate the need for external image editing software**. By allowing users to annotate and modify images directly within the browser, we maintain a faster, more collaborative workflow.
Key Features
[edit ]- Non-Destructive Editing: The original uploaded file is never modified. All changes are stored as metadata.
- Layer-Based Annotations: All mark-ups (text, shapes, highlights) are rendered as overlay layers.
- Multiple Layer Sets: A single image can host various "layer sets," allowing for different versions (e.g., "Educational Labels," "Technical Specs," or "Redactions") without duplicating the base file.
- Seamless Integration: Designed to feel like a native part of the MediaWiki interface.
Syntax & Usage
[edit ]To invoke a specific layer set on an image, use the following syntax in your wiki code:
- [[File:image.png|layerset=layer set name]]
