The Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is pushing a fix to a 
longstanding issue regarding block notices for users on mobile devices. A year 
ago, if a blocked user attempted to edit a page from their mobile device, a 
notice popped up for just a few seconds before automatically disappearing, 
giving most people insufficient time to read it. Moreover, if the reason for a 
block contained a wikilink or a template, the notice would fail to render the 
link, instead displaying raw HTML. This led to botched notifications that 
looked as bad as this: 
.

I’m happy to see that a fix is almost ready to be deployed which addresses many 
issues, including rendering links properly. :)

*Conference*

The 2018 Wikimedia Conference
 starts this
week in Germany. The core conference will occur from the 20th through the
22nd.


*WMF Research Showcase*

On Wednesday, the WMF Research Showcase

will include presentations on two subjects that I think will interest a
number of Wikipedians:

1. "The Critical Relationship of Volunteer Created Wikipedia Content to
Large-Scale Online Communities"

2. "The Rise and Decline of an Open Collaboration System, a Closer Look"




*Photography*
As often happens, Wikimedia Commons contributors have selected some great
pictures of the day for this month
. Here are a few
examples:
