*Updates for editors*

- View all 34 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks. For example, an issue where the search bar results on Wikidata, showed English results instead of using the correct language fallback for users of language variants, has now been fixed. Search suggestions will now follow the expected language fallback chain. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429769

*Updates for technical contributors*

- In preparation for Celebrate Women campaign https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Event:Celebrate_Women planned for March 2027, the Wikimedia Foundation’s Content Enablement team https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation/Advancement/Community_Growth/Content_Enablement has launched a 22-question survey to better understand technical contributions by women+ (anyone who identifies as a woman) across Wikimedia projects. The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete and will remain open until 20 July 2026. The questions https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Celebrate_Women/Technical_contributions_survey are also available on-wiki for review in advance. - The Score extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Score now supports rendering music scores as SVG images in addition to PNG, addressing a long-standing feature request https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T49578 and resolving historical image quality issues. Both formats are now provided to clients, with PNG in the src attribute and SVG in the srcset attribute. - The new Parsoid https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Parsoid parser continues to be deployed to additional wikis https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Updates, making it easier to introduce new reading and editing features. It was enabled on French Wikipedia, bringing total progress to covering 78.9% of Wikipedia page views. Rollout to English Wikipedia desktop will progress through this week. - Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.47/wmf.10
