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/2021/30 are available.

*Recent changes*

- A new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.37/wmf.14 of MediaWiki came to the Wikimedia wikis the week before last week. This was not in Tech News because there was no newsletter that week.

*Changes later this week*

- [image: Recurrent item] The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.37/wmf.16 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 July. It will be on all wikis from 29 July (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.37/Roadmap).

*Future changes*

- If you use the Monobook skin https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MonoBook you can choose to switch off responsive design https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Responsive_web_design on mobile. This will now work for more skins. If Enable responsive MonoBook design is unticked you need to also untick the new preference https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering Enable responsive mode. Otherwise it will stop working. Interface admins can automate this process on your wiki. You can read more https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285991.
