Tech News: 2024-11
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
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/11> are
available.
*Changes later this week*
- The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/wmf.22> of
MediaWiki will be on test wikis and
MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be
on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all
wikis from 14 March (calendar
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/Roadmap>). [1]

- After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text
on the Minerva skin
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Minerva_Neue> will
be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for
typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [3]

- The active link color in Minerva
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Minerva_Neue> will
be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best
practices. [4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358516>
- Structured data on Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Structured_data>
will
no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will
prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from
appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file
pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be
hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally
close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data
will be lost. [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312315>
*Future changes*
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is
planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and
will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [6]
