Latest *tech news
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations

available.
*Recent changes*
- There was a problem with maps on Wikimedia wikis that used <mapframe
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer>>
when you clicked on the link to another map service. Open Street Map or
Google Maps are examples of other map services. If you had marked a place
on the map the marker would not be in the same place on the other map
service. It was in the middle of the map. This has now been fixed. [1]

*Changes this week*
- Very old and inactive unpublished translations in the Content
Translation
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Content_translation>
database
will be removed. This is because of technical maintenance. If you have not
worked on a translation after 1 January 2016 you will lose it after 6 July.
If you want to keep the unfinished translation you need to open it before 6
July with the Content Translation tool. You can continue working on it
later. Translations that were started or have been worked on after 1
January 2016 will not be affected.
- There is no new Mediawiki version this week.
- [image: Octicons-tools.svg] EventStreams
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventStreams> is a new way to show
activity on Wikimedia wikis. It works with the recent changes feed. It will
do more things later. It will replace RCStream
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCStream>. Tools that use RCStream
should move to EventStreams before 7 July. Tech News wrote about this in
the 2017/07
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2017/07>
issue. [2]
