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/2017/27 are available.

*Recent changes*

- There was a problem with maps on Wikimedia wikis that used <mapframe https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer> when you clicked on the link to another map service. Open Street Map or Google Maps are examples of other map services. If you had marked a place on the map the marker would not be in the same place on the other map service. It was in the middle of the map. This has now been fixed. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T160782

*Changes this week*

- Very old and inactive unpublished translations in the Content Translation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Content_translation database will be removed. This is because of technical maintenance. If you have not worked on a translation after 1 January 2016 you will lose it after 6 July. If you want to keep the unfinished translation you need to open it before 6 July with the Content Translation tool. You can continue working on it later. Translations that were started or have been worked on after 1 January 2016 will not be affected. - There is no new Mediawiki version this week. - [image: Octicons-tools.svg] EventStreams https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventStreams is a new way to show activity on Wikimedia wikis. It works with the recent changes feed. It will do more things later. It will replace RCStream https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCStream. Tools that use RCStream should move to EventStreams before 7 July. Tech News wrote about this in the 2017/07 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2017/07 issue.
