Hi,

The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2018/44%3E. Below is the English version.

You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next%3E.

More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute%3E. You can also contact me directly.

As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged.

*Recent changes*

- You can post proposals for the Community Wishlist Survey https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2019. The survey decides what the Community Tech team https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech will work on. You can post proposals until 11 November. You can vote on proposals from 16 November to 30 November. - [image: Advanced item] The wikis now have a content security policy report https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Content_Security_Policy. This means that you might get a warning in your javascript console when you load external resources in your user scripts. For security reasons it is recommended that you don't do this. It might not be possible to load external resources in your scripts in the future. [1] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-October/001994.html
