Over the next few days, wmf14 will be deployed to WMF wikis. The highlights of what's new in wmf14 are:
- WikiLove is no longer broken https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95464 on Flow boards. - WikiLove change tags now appear in recent changes again https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T105444. - The WikiLove button is now hidden when JavaScript is not enabled https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T49624. - Flow topic summaries now list their authors https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103580. - Flow topic creations no longer appear twice https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94360 in recent changes and history. - The template used to create mentions when using VE in Flow ({{ping}} on most wikis) is changing https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/223363/, so we can get rid of the colon at the end https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99891. The default name for the new template is {{FlowMention}}, but this name can be translated on TranslateWiki. We will create a standard version of this template on all wikis where it doesn't exist yet. - Special:EnableFlow and future Flow conversions now use a translated message https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T93395 for naming archive subpages. Language communities should translate this message on TranslateWiki, and individual wikis will be able to override it https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Flow-conversion-archive-page-name-format .
Despite the fact that Wikimania is happening this week, wmf14 will follow the standard deployment schedule:
- Tuesday 11am-1pm PDT: deployment to test wikis ("group 0"); for Flow, these are testwiki https://test.wikipedia.org/, test2wiki https://test2.wikipedia.org/ and mediawiki.org https://www.mediawiki.org/ - Wednesday 11am-1pm PDT: deployment to non-Wikipedia wikis ("group 1"); for Flow, these are meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/, officewiki https://office.wikimedia.org/ and wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/ - Thursday 11am-1pm PDT: deployment to Wikipedias ("group 2"); for Flow, these are the English https://en.wikipedia.org/, French https://fr.wikipedia.org/, Hebrew https://he.wikipedia.org/, Portugese https://pt.wikipedia.org/, Catalan https://ca.wikipedia.org/, Telugu https://te.wikipedia.org/, Russian https://ru.wikipedia.org/, Punjabi https://pa.wikipedia.org/ and Chinese https://zh.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedias
Roan, thanks for these great summaries.
In related news, it seems many (most? all?) LiquidThreads pages on mediawiki.org have been converted to Flow.

I tried this on beta labs, it's very cool.
Perhaps Template:FlowMention should be mentioned on Extension:Flow [1]. It is automatically created when you run maintenance/update.php (slick!), but automatic template creation is unexpected.
Where is the magic of typing @ and getting a VE user auto-complete mentioned? Extension:Flow says $wgFlowHelpPage = // www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Flow but that page doesn't exist. I know Flow is it's so easy no documentation is necessary, but how would people know to type it?

Yep, almost done.

Be Bold; you can go ahead and document stuff like this (done this time, though).

Thanks, fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/226636/

You can actually click a button instead of the @ sign.
