** This will roll out with the 1.23wmf20 branch mentioned above, which
means it will gradually roll out to all wikis following the normal
progression (testwikis &
mediawiki.org on Thursday -> non-wikipedias
(eg Commons etc) on Tuesday -> All wikis following Thursday).
Thanks, and as always, questions welcome,
