Hi,
On a few first wikis[1], you can now highlight pairs of brackets in
wikitext. For this to work, you need to turn on the syntax highlighting
feature, which is part of the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors. By placing
your cursor next to or within a set of brackets, you can then match round,
square and curly brackets. For more information about this feature please
visit its project page.[2]
Deployment to other wikis is planned for later this year. If your wiki
community wants to get bracket matching now, please contact me.
This change has been implemented by the Technical Wishes team who is
currently working on several projects within the focus area "Make working
with templates easier"[3]. Other projects in this focus area, including
those for the Visual Editor, are in the making.
Many thanks to all who have contributed to the realization of this project
through comments, interviews and more. Feedback is, as always, welcome on
the project's talk page.[4]
Thanks,
Johanna for the Technical Wishes team

Hi everyone,
This Friday January 22, there will be a discussion on improving user
experience as per Movement Strategy recommendation 2
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Recomme…>
-
initiatives 9 and 11.
In the preparation for implementing the recommendations in 2021, improving
user experience emerged as a top priority for many communities, affiliates
and groups (see priorities
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…>).
This was further solidified as a top priority during the November Global
Conversations
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…>
.
The aim of this week's discussion is to bring together interested
affiliates, communities, and teams from the Wikimedia Foundation to plan
concrete next steps. The aim is to create a draft implementation plan to
experiment and collaborate on in the next year. We will be building on
great discussions that took place in December. Please visit *the discussion
space on improving user experience*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…>
.
Please join the discussion and invite others skilled or interested in this
area.

Hey folks,
Because there are a lot of people on this list who are interested in
spreading information on the wikis, which overlaps with an interest in
MassMessage:
In https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270435 there's a discussion about how
to be able to use MassMessage when using the new "Page to be sent as a
message" function, which would require an easier way of adding a timestamp.
My suggestion is to add it automatically, since MassMassages are going out
to discussion pages of different kinds, and should be timestamped. If you
have a workflow where you don't want your message to be timestamped, please
let me know off-list or in the Phabricator discussion.
