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/2021/45> are
available.
*Recent changes*
- Mobile IP editors are now able to receive warning notices indicating
they have a talk page message on the mobile website (similar to the orange
banners available on desktop). These notices will be displayed on every
page outside of the main namespace and every time the user attempts to
edit. The notice on desktop now has a slightly different colour. [1]

*Changes later this week*
- Wikidata will be read-only <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T294321>
for a few minutes on 11 November. This will happen around 06:00 UTC
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1636610400>. This is for database
maintenance. [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T294321>
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
*Future changes*
- In the future, unregistered editors will be given an identity that is
not their IP address <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:IP_address>. This
is for legal reasons. A new user right will let editors who need to know
the IPs of unregistered accounts to fight vandalism, spam, and harassment,
see the IP. You can read the suggestions for how that identity could work
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation#IP_Masking_Implementation_Approaches_(FAQ)>
and discuss on the talk page
