Subject: [Wikitech-l] Map internationalization launched everywhere,AND embedded 
maps now live on 276 Wikipedias

As of today, interactive (Kartographer) maps no longer display in the language 
of the territory mapped; instead, you’ll read them in the content language of 
the wiki where they appear—or in the language their authors specify (subject to 
availability of multilingual data). In addition, mapframe, the feature that 
automatically embeds dynamic maps right on a wiki page, is now live on most 
Wikipedias that lacked the feature. (Not included in the mapframe launch are 
nine Wikipedias [1] that use the stricter version of Flagged Revisions).

If you you’re new to mapframe, this Kartographer help page [2] shows how to get 
started putting dynamic maps on your pages.  If you’d like to read more about 
map internationalization: this Special Update [3] explains the feature and its 
limiations; this post [4] and this one [5] describe the uses of the new 
parameter, lang=”xx”, which  lets you specify a map’s language. And here are 
some example maps [6] to illustrate the new capabilities. 

These features could not have been created without the generous programming 
contributions and advice of our many map-loving volunteers, including Yurik, 
Framawiki, Naveenpf, TheDJ, Milu92, Astirlin, Evad37, Pigsonthewing, Mike Peel, 
Eran Roz,  Gareth and Abbe98. My apologies to anyone I’ve missed. 

The Map Improvements 2018 [7] project wraps up at the end of June, so please 
give internationalized maps and mapframe a try soon and give us your feedback 
on the project talk page [8]. We’re listening.

Subject: [Wikitech-l] OOUI v0.27.0 release (breaking change)

Hello everyone,

We've released OOUI version 0.27.0 last evening. It will be in
MediaWiki core from 1.32.0-wmf.3, which will be deployed to Wikimedia
production in the regular train, starting on Tuesday 16 May. As there
are five breaking changes in this release, at least nominally, please
carefully consider if they affect your code.


Breaking changes since last release:

* GroupElement: Remove getItem(s)FromData (Prateek Saxena)
We rename a number of getters when asking for one of 0+ items for
consistency reasons.
This and the following two changes are all on this topic.

* MultiSelectWidget: Remove getSelectedItems and getSelectedItemsData
(Prateek Saxena)

* SelectWidget: Remove getSelectedItem (Prateek Saxena)

* TagItemWidget: Replace 'disabled' items with 'fixed' (Moriel Schottlender)
For consistency of behavior and separation of UX concerns, we don't
allow for individual tag items in a TagMultiselectWidget to be
individually disabled. Instead, allow defining 'fixed' values that
cannot be removed. We are not aware of any instance of the
TagMultiselectWidget featuring 'disabled' items, nevertheless marking
it as breaking change.

* indicators: Remove 'alert', deprecated in v0.25.2 (James D. Forrester)
'alert' indicator has been deprecated a while ago and is unused in all
known implementations, therefore we've removed it completely.


Deprecations since last release:

* icons: Deprecate 'editing-citation' icons from 'content' (Volker E.)
We've added an explicit 'editing-citation' icon pack, that helps us
standardize citation icons. Therefore we have moved existing related
icons to its own pack.

* icons: Rename 'settings' to 'pageSettings' (Volker E.)
Clarify intended usage of icon by renaming it.

Please update your icon pack references accordingly in case you're
using one of those icons.


New features, icons and highlights in this release:

* An infusable PHP NumberInputWidget was implemented by volunteer mainframe98.

* icons: 'editing-citation' pack was added (Volker E.)

* ProcessDialog: Fix footer height when actions or dialog size changes
(Bartosz Dziewoński)


Additional details on 45 code-level and accessibility changes, 34
styling and interaction design amendments, and all improvements since
v0.26.0 are in the full changelog[0]. If you have any further queries
or need help dealing with breaking changes, please let me know.

As always, library documentation is available on mediawiki.org[1], and
there is some comprehensive generated code-level documentation and
interactive demos hosted on doc.wikimedia.org[2].

Thanks to all contributors involved, especially volunteers mainframe98
and Daimona Eaytoy!

Best,
Volker
