This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are necessarily live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.43.0-wmf.2 (ce9d259), and changes to the software with a version number higher than that will not yet be active. Configuration changes and changes to interface messages, however, become active immediately.
Fixed bugs
The
list=search query now returns the titles of the pages returned by the search engine, rather than null strings. (
r31522,
bug 10908)
The audio on some videos with a high frame rate now plays back properly in the Cortado Java-based player. (
r31527,
bug 13071)
The error message "You do not have permission to do that" now only comes up for rollback when the user actually does not have permission to perform an action, not in other cases when the action might fail (the edit has already been rolled back by someone else, or the user is the only one who edited the page). (
r31588,
bug 13110)
An article with hidden categories but no non-hidden categories no longer displays an empty gray box at the bottom. (
r31731,
bug 13234)
New feature
A new parameter xmldoublequote is available in the API, for all results in XML format; it causes all attributes and content in the XML output to be double-escaped. (
r31525,
bug 11401)
Ongoing news
Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See
mw:Localisation statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to
