Latest *tech news <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2022/48> are available. *Recent changes* - A new preference, “Enable limited width mode”, has been added to the Vector 2022 skin <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering>. The preference is also available as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. It allows for increasing the width of the page for logged-out and logged-in users. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319449> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/wmf.12> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 November. It will be on all wikis from 1 December (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/Roadmap>). - Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 29 November at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s3.dblist>) and on 1 December at 07:00 UTC (targeted wikis <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s1.dblist>). - Mathematical formulas shown in SVG image format will no longer have PNG fall-backs for browsers that don't support them. This is part of work to modernise the generation system. Showing only PNG versions was the default option until in February 2018.

[5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T321445> *Future changes* - How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change early next week at group1 wikis <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train#Wednesday> (but not Wikimedia Commons or Meta-Wiki). This change improves the accessibility of content, and makes it easier to write related CSS. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Media_structure/FAQ>.
