Tech News: 2024-11
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/2024/11 are available.
*Changes later this week*
- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/wmf.22 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/Roadmap). [1] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train[2] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar - After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Minerva_Neue will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358498 - The active link color in Minerva https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Minerva_Neue will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358516 - Structured data on Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Structured_data will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost.

*Future changes*
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks.
