[Foundation-l] Help betatest MediaWiki 1.3

[Erik Moeller]

Hi!

Please help us in testing the latest version of MediaWiki, the software  
which runs Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote and all other Wikimedia  
projects.

The development version can be tested at:
http://test.wikipedia.org/

You can report bugs directly on the test-wiki.

Important user-visible changes are:
- new MonoBook skin, which will probably become the new default skin (can  
also be tested on http://wiki.aulinx.de)
- edit conflict merging
- category system: add [[Category:Xyz]] to an article to categorize it
- links and formatting in image captions
- MediaWiki namespace separated into MediaWiki: (for software messages)  
and Template: (for custom blocks), new simplified syntax, arbitrary  
transclusion
- links in edit summaries, auto-summaries shown in gray color instead of  
=like this=
- support for hieroglyphs (WikiHiero)
- reorg'd user prefs (not completed yet)
- (almost) valid xhtml
- lots of other stuff

Please pass this announcement on to people on your wiki.

Regards,

Erik
