@Jdforrester-WMF I want to work on this task. I am a beginner on this project. Can you share some resources to get started?

Hi and thank you for your interest! Please check thoroughly https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers (and all of its communication section!). The page covers how to get started, assigning tasks, task status, how to find a codebase, how to create patches, where to ask general development questions and where to get help with setup problems, and how to ask good questions. Thanks a lot! :)

@binbot I will!

"config": {
		"OATHAuthWindowRadius": {
			"value": 4,
			"description":"Number of token windows on either side of current time to be considered valid for authentication.",
			"descriptionmsg":"oathauth-config-oathauthwindowradius",
			"public":true
		},
		"OATHAuthDatabase": {
			"value": false,
			"description":"database domain to be used for authentication in a multi-database environment",
			"descriptionmsg":"oathauth-config-oathauthdatabase",
			"public":true

I have to write these tests in wikibase_tests.py, right?

@Reedy I am thinking of using a key "description" whose value will hold the required documentation for different variables. What do you suggest?

I apologize for not being attentive enough to the details in the issue and for asking a question that was not needed. I will carry out the required changes to the said file.

@Reedy can you tell me where I can find the required file to make changes to?

I am thinking of writing tests using unittest module. Will that be alright?

@Xqt Should I remove case_escape() from textlib.py or just leave it there and use inline flags for regex patterns wherever required?

@Xqt I am new to open source and would like to contribute more to Pywikibot. Can you suggest me some good resources for beginners from where I can learn more about it and start working on existing tasks?

@DVrandecic Where can I find the necessary file to make the changes?

@Xqt Should I submit a new commit for the changes I previously made with the preferred solution i.e without using "else"?

I have fixed the first 20 issues and will be soon submitting the first patch through gerrit.

@Aklapper ,I will go through the provided resources and work accordingly.

@Xqt So what you are saying is that I should solve each subtask individually and keep submitting it one by one?

Update: I got the github repo and have forked it and currently working to understand the codebase to make necessary changes to it.

@Xqt I would like to work on this task. This is my first time contributing and I have understood what has to be fixed here but I don't know from where I can access this code and make changes in it?
