Hi,
It would be great if a few pairs of eyes could take a look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2013/34 before I send it to translators, to check that I haven't missed anything super-important or misunderstood what the commits are about.
The tech newsletter is aimed at non-expert Wikimedians whose knowledge of English may be limited, so the language may seem vague or naive to developers. If you see factual errors, please correct them (or let me know directly), but please keep the language simple :)
Many thanks for your help.

Note there's two issues with file redirects. The one fixed also applies to local images in addition to foreign issues. The fixed issue is that redirects on commons didn't start to work until 24 hours after they are created. The issue that still remains is after a file moves, someone has to edit the page (or purge the page) of the page using the redirected name, before the image works again. (I've submitted a patch for that - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/80135/ but its still pending review).
