People that are interested in the version will more than likely already
know about [[Special:Version]], if they want the added onscreen [clutter]
presence they could whip up a gadget or something to pull it from the API.

There could be a small-sized version number somewhere on screen. Those who
are interested in would learn where it is and could watch it, while others
won't be disturbed.

Congratulations!
I'm wondering which older versions are still supported.

Hi everyone,
Jeroen let me know offlist that he's not interested in writing an RFC in
this area, so I'm wondering if there are any other takers for Composer use
in MediaWiki.
I think there may be multiple RFCs to consider:
1. Composer as a means of MediaWiki extension management
2. Composer as
I created a bug around killing this hook in favour of more specific
clearer hooks - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58137 -

personally under any circumstances and if we are making changes we

Dear all,
I am happy to announce the availability of the first stable release of the new

You can consult the RELEASE-NOTES-

Hi Jeroen,
I'd love for someone to take a crack at writing an RFC for this, and maybe
we can get this on the agenda for the Architecture Summit. It seems to be
a topic that comes up frequently, and has a number of champions, so it
doesn't have to be you that does this. Thoughts?

The mobile skin has traditionally used the template variable
'language_urls' in SkinTemplate to access the list of alternative
languages of an article. We are now seeing a lot of friction and bugs
as we try to move our codebase closer to core.

Yes! You can do this under the new trademark policy. Here is some
