Hi,

The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2017/22%3E. Below is the English version.

You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next%3E.

More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute%3E. You can also contact me directly.

As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged.

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/2017/22 are available.

*Problems*

- Last week’s MediaWiki version was rolled back from some wikis because of a problem. This means planned changes did not happen. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T163512

*Meetings*

- [image: Octicons-sync.svg] You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 30 May at 19:00 (UTC) http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=19&min=00&sec=0&day=30&month=05&year=2017. See how to join https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Weekly_triage_meetings.

*Future changes*

- You will be able to control who can notify you on the Wikimedia wikis. You will have a user blacklist. When you add a user to the blacklist you will not get a notification https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Notifications when they mention you. You can test this on Beta Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo. You can read more and give feedback on Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Notifications_blacklist . [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150419
