Technology report
Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News
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
- Special:MergeAccount now again correctly lists local accounts with the same name as a global account that are not attached to it. ( bug 14456, fixed directly in the database)
- Special:MergeAccount now correctly merges accounts based on password when one account was created recently and the other was created a long time ago. ( r36150, bug 14481)
- Special:Undelete now correctly displays deleted pages whose wikitext starts with a list. ( r36114, bug 12311)
- Special:Recentchanges now no longer has two identical RSS feeds. ( r36212, bug 14500)
- API action=parse queries now use the correct settings for the parser in all circumstances. ( r36232, bug 14471)
-
MediaWiki:Delete-legend and similar system messages no longer double-escape
{{FULLPAGENAME}}and similar magic words when the page name looks like a URL. ( r36233, bug 14511) - The Chick, MySkin and Simple skins no longer try to load nonexistent stylesheets on Internet Explorer. ( r36252, bug 14520)
- Cancelling an upload in response to a warning no longer causes the 'ignore warnings' checkbox to become automatically checked. ( r36318, bug 14551)
New features
- MediaWiki:upload-maxfilesize is now wrapped in a <div> with a distinct class, so it can be affected by CSS. ( r36187, bug 14479)
- Words containing apostrophes can now be accidentally linked to the word without an apostrophe by double-bracketing part of the word, e.g.
[[link]]'sis now equivalent to[[link|link's]]. (Previously, this worked for letters but not for apostrophes.) ( r36253, bug 468)
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 bugzilla or use Betawiki.
