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

*Recent changes*
- The Community Wishlist Survey 2023 edition has been concluded.
   Community Tech has published the results
   https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2023/Results
   of the survey and will provide an update on what is next in April 2023.
   - On wikis which use LanguageConverter
   https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Writing_systems to
   handle multiple writing systems, articles which used custom conversion
   rules in the wikitext (primarily on Chinese Wikipedia) would have these
   rules applied inconsistently in the table of contents, especially in the
   Vector 2022 skin. This has now been fixed. [1]

*Changes later this week*
- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/wmf.26
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 March. It will
   be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 March. It will be on
   all wikis from 9 March (calendar
   https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/Roadmap).
   - A search system has been added to the Preferences screen
   https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences. This will let you
   find different options more easily. Making it work on mobile devices will
   happen soon. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313804
