ThisThe essay,following '''WP:Technical reports''', describeslists announcements or formal reports about various technical features in Wikipedia.

==Signpost TechnicalTechnology Report==

Each issue of the weekly [[WP:Signpost]] newsletter has included a "/Technology_report" page, with subtitle "Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News". Each technical report focuses on changes to Wikipedia's technology, including new features, [[bugfix]]es, and announcements of technical conferences. Some of the recent (or upcoming) weekly issues are:

:* List of [[Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009|''Signpost'' pages from 2009]]

:* List of [[Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2008|''Signpost'' pages from 2008]]

Each page as "/Technology_report" is only 1 part, of perhaps 7 or more, within each weekly issue of the ''[[WP:Signpost]]'' newsletter. The archives of older issues can be searched, as explained below.

Previous issues go back for several years, so it might be necessary to search the older issues to pinpoint some specific topics of interest.

===Searching archives===

[[Category:Wikipedia essays|Techical reports]]

Previous issues go back for several years to 2005, so it might be necessary to search the older issues to pinpoint some specific topics of interest.

:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives]] - search all issues (all years)

:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2009]] - index of 2009 & search

:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2008]] - index of 2008 & search

:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2007]] - index of 2007 & search

:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2006]] - index of 2006 & search

:* [[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives/2005]] - index of 2005 & search

Note that each year index will link to the top-level ''Signpost'' pages, one for each issue, where each issue's technology report will be a link inside each of the top-level pages.

An example of a search would be to click "[[WP:Wikipedia_Signpost/Archives]]" and enter the word "parser" in the search-all field. The resulting search will show a list of the matching Signpost pages, each with a partial phrase containing the search term (in this case, the word "parser") as it appears within the text of each matching page.
