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/2026/06 are available.

*Updates for editors*

- The "Page information" feature, which gives validating information about a page (example https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/News/2026/06&action=info), now automatically includes a table of contents. If there is a local MediaWiki:Pageinfo-header https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Pageinfo-header page created by individual users, it can now be removed. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T363726 - View all 21 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks. For example, VisualEditor previously added bold or italic formatting inside link descriptions, making the wikicode complex. This has now been fixed. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T409669

*Updates for technical contributors*

- There was no XML dump on 20 January. Additionally, from now on, dumps will be generated once per month only. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414389 - The MediaWiki Interfaces team removed support for all transform endpoints containing a trailing slash from the MediaWiki REST API https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/API:REST%20API. All API users currently calling those endpoints are encouraged to transition to the non-trailing slash versions. If you have questions or encounter any problems, please file a ticket in phabricator to the #MW-Interfaces-Team board https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6931/. - Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.46/wmf.14
