Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News

More work on a Single User Login was done this week. Brion Vibber made some modifications to the Central Auth code and tested the cross-wiki username merging for how long it would take. See the mailing list post for more details.

A new ParserFunction, {{ #rel2abs}}, was added this past week. Given a relative page name such as /Subpage, it will return a fully qualified page name such as Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-12-04/Technology report/Subpage. This can be used as input for other functions, such as {{ #ifexist}} or {{ localurl}}. ( Carl Fürstenberg and Tim Starling, bug 8021, r17979)

Automatically-linked ISBNs can now contain spaces. ( Ilmari Karonen, bug 8110, r18074)

A few interface changes were made:

  • Multiple left-aligned images placed near each other will now stack vertically, not horizontally, just as right-aligned images do. ( Simetrical, bug 6016, r17986)
  • The interface for the undo option, introduced last week, has been improved. An automatic summary (which can be changed) is now filled in on the edit screen, and a message has been added to the top of the undo screen to make it clearly distinct from a regular edit screen. ( Andrew Garrett, r17988)
  • A "next page" link was added to the bottom of Special:Allpages/ in addition to the link at the top. ( Rob Church, bug 1331, r18064)
  • There is a new preference to have the "E-mail me a copy of my message" set by default on the e-mail form. ( Rob Church, bug 8024, r18094)

Some updates were made to non-English messages, specifically:

Internationalization help is always appreciated! See m:Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to Mediazilla.
