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/2022/14 are available.
*Problems*
- For a few days last week, edits that were suggested to newcomers were not tagged in the Special:RecentChanges https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges feed. This bug has been fixed. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T304747
*Changes later this week*
- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/wmf.6 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 April. It will be on all wikis from 7 April (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 7 April at 7:00 UTC (targeted wikis https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s4.dblist).
*Future changes*
- Starting next week, Tech News' title will be translatable. When the newsletter is distributed, its title may not be Tech News: 2022-14 anymore. It may affect some filters that have been set up by some communities. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302920 - Over the next few months, the "Add a link https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Tools/Add_a_link" Growth feature will become available to more Wikipedias https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T304110. Each week, a few wikis will get the feature. You can test this tool at a few wikis where "Link recommendation" is already available https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth#deploymentstable .
