This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.43.0-wmf.8 (f95d369), and changes with a version number higher than that will not yet be active.
Fixed bugs
A bug causing images to be deleted on
Wikimedia Commons whenever a description page for an image with the same name was deleted on a different project (such as the English Wikipedia) has now been fixed. (This means that it's now safe for administrators to resume deletions under
speedy deletion criterion I2.) (
r22718,
bug 10128)
Editing section 0 of a page now shows the correct list of templates used on that page at the bottom of the screen. (
r22779,
bug 10149)
New features
A new parser function, #titleparts, was added, to return the first few parts of a slash-separated subpage structure; for instance, {{#titleparts:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-06-11/Technology report|2}} is Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-06-11. (
r22711,
bug 6067)
Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See
m:Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to
bugzilla.
