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/2023/03> are available. *Problems* - The URLs in "prev" links on page history now contain diff=prev&oldid=[revision ID] in place of diff=[revision ID]&oldid=[revision ID]. This is to fix a problem with links pointing to incorrect diffs when history was filtered by a tag. Some user scripts may break as a result of this change. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T243569> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/wmf.19> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 January. It will be on all wikis from 19 January (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/Roadmap>). - Some changes to the appearance of talk pages <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk_pages_project/Usability> have only been available on Talk: and User talk: namespaces. These will be extended to other talk namespaces, such as Meta talk:. They will continue to be unavailable in non-talk namespaces, including Meta: pages (e.g., at the Village Pump). You can change your preferences <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion> (beta feature <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures>). [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T325417> - On Wikisources, when an image is zoomed or panned in the Page: namespace, the same zoom and pan settings will be remembered for all Page: namespace pages that are linked to a particular Index: namespace page. [3] <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage/+/868841> - The Vector 2022 skin will become the default for the English Wikipedia desktop users.
