Hi!
Please help us in testing the latest version of MediaWiki, the software
which runs Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote and all other Wikimedia
projects.
The development version can be tested at:
http://test.wikipedia.org/
You can report bugs directly on the test-wiki.
Important user-visible changes are:
- new MonoBook skin, which will probably become the new default skin (can
also be tested on
http://wiki.aulinx.de)
- edit conflict merging
- category system: add [[Category:Xyz]] to an article to categorize it
- links and formatting in image captions
- MediaWiki namespace separated into MediaWiki: (for software messages)
and Template: (for custom blocks), new simplified syntax, arbitrary
transclusion
- links in edit summaries, auto-summaries shown in gray color instead of
=like this=
- support for hieroglyphs (WikiHiero)
- reorg'd user prefs (not completed yet)
- (almost) valid xhtml
- lots of other stuff
Please pass this announcement on to people on your wiki.
Regards,
Erik
