Letzte Änderungen
- Checkusers and stewards can now view private data such as the IP address in the abuse log. This data is removed regularly. [1]
Probleme
- Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [2][3]
- Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed. [4]
- Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated. [5][6][7]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version. [8]
The Wikinews wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 27 February. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [9][10]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 Februar. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 Februar. It will be on all wikis from 1 März (calendar).
