*Changes this week*
- The history page can tell you if a page on your watchlist was updated since you last visited it. This now works the same way in Vector https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Skin:Vector as in other skins https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Skins. The change broke local designs on some wikis. This will be fixed this week. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134515 - [image: Octicons-sync.svg] The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.28/wmf.5 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 June. It will be on all wikis from 9 June ( calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.28/Roadmap).
