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/2023/29 are available.

*Recent changes*

- We are now serving 1% of all global user traffic from Kubernetes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubernetes (you can read more technical details https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_On_Kubernetes). We are planning to increment this percentage regularly. You can follow the progress of this work https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290536.

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/wmf.18 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 July. It will be on all wikis from 20 July (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/Roadmap). - MediaWiki system messages https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:System_message will now look for available local fallbacks, instead of always using the default fallback defined by software. This means wikis no longer need to override each language on the fallback chain https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Language#Fallback_languages separately. For example, English Wikipedia doesn't have to create en-ca and en-gb subpages with a transclusion of the base pages anymore. This makes it easier to maintain local overrides. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229992 - The action=growthsetmentorstatus API will be deprecated with the new MediaWiki version. Bots or scripts calling that API should use the action=growthmanagementorlist API now. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T321503
