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>
.
