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/2022/36> are
available.
*Changes later this week*
- The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/wmf.28>
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and
MediaWiki.org from 6 September. It
will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 September. It
will be on all wikis from 8 September (calendar
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/Roadmap>).
- Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch
of their main database. It will be performed on 6 September at
07:00 UTC (targeted
wikis
<https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s1.dblist>)
and on 8 September at 7:00 UTC (targeted wikis
<https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s3.dblist>).
- On Special pages that only have one tab, the tab-bar's row will be
hidden in the Vector-2022 skin to save space. The row will still show if
Gadgets use it. Gadgets that currently append directly to the CSS id of
#p-namespaces should be updated to use the mw.util.addPortletLink
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Core_modules#addPortletLink>
function instead. Gadgets that style this id should consider also targeting
#p-associated-pages, the new id for this row. Examples are available
