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

available.
*Recent changes*
- There is a new public status page at
www.wikimediastatus.net. This
site shows five automated high-level metrics where you can see the overall
health and performance of our wikis' technical environment. It also
contains manually-written updates for widespread incidents, which are
written as quickly as the engineers are able to do so while also fixing the
actual problem. The site is separated from our production infrastructure
and hosted by an external service, so that it can be accessed even if the
wikis are briefly unavailable. You can read more about this project
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/03/31/announcing-www-wikimediastatus-net/>
.
- On Wiktionary wikis, the software to play videos and audio files on
pages has now changed. The old player has been removed. Some audio players
will become wider after this change. The new player
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/VideoJS_Player>
has been a beta feature for over four years. [1]
