*Tech News*

- The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 8 January 2024 because of the holidays https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Christmas_and_holiday_season.

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/wmf.10 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 December. It will be on all wikis from 21 December (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/Roadmap). There is no new MediaWiki version next week. [1] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train[2] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar - Starting December 18, it won't be possible to activate Structured Discussions on a user's own talk page using the Beta feature. The Beta feature option remains available for users who want to deactivate Structured Discussions. This is part of Structured Discussions' deprecation work https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Structured_Discussions/Deprecation. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248309 - There will be full support for redirects in the Module namespace. The "Move Page" feature will leave an appropriate redirect behind, and such redirects will be appropriately recognized by the software (e.g. hidden from Special:UnconnectedPages https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UnconnectedPages). There will also be support for manual redirects https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Renaming_or_moving_modules .
