Latest *tech news https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News* from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2021/50 are available.
*Recent changes*
- There are now default short aliases https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespace#Other_namespace_aliases for the "Project:" namespace on most wikis. E.g. On Wikibooks wikis, [[WB:]] will go to the local language default for the [[Project:]] namespace. This change is intended to help the smaller communities have easy access to this feature. Additional local aliases can still be requested via the usual process https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes.
