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]

*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>.
