[Wikitech-ambassadors] A MediaWiki change will break some scripts/gadgets

2017-07-03 Thread Whatamidoing (WMF)/Sherry Snyder 
A translatable message about this project is here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editing/Accessible_editing_buttons

Details about why, when, and how to find out whether your favorite script
will be affected (and how to make the easy fixes!) are here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Contributors/Projects/Accessible_editing_buttons


This change has already been made at the Persian and Polish Wikipedias.
This Wednesday (less than 48 hours from now), it will reach the *French,
Spanish, Japanese, Russian, and Italian Wikipedias and Meta*.  In the
coming weeks, it will arrive at all of the other Wikipedias (including
English and German), the non-Wikipedias, and Commons.

Please share this information with your communities.

[Wikitech-ambassadors] Ready for early translation: Tech News #27 (2017)

Latest *tech news

Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
 are
available.

*Recent changes*

   - There was a problem with maps on Wikimedia wikis that used https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer>>
   when you clicked on the link to another map service. Open Street Map or
   Google Maps are examples of other map services. If you had marked a place
   on the map the marker would not be in the same place on the other map
   service. It was in the middle of the map. This has now been fixed. [1]
   

*Changes this week*

   - Very old and inactive unpublished translations in the Content
   Translation
   
database
   will be removed. This is because of technical maintenance. If you have not
   worked on a translation after 1 January 2016 you will lose it after 6 July.
   If you want to keep the unfinished translation you need to open it before 6
   July with the Content Translation tool. You can continue working on it
   later. Translations that were started or have been worked on after 1
   January 2016 will not be affected.
   - There is no new Mediawiki version this week.
   - [image: Octicons-tools.svg] EventStreams
    is a new way to show
   activity on Wikimedia wikis. It works with the recent changes feed. It will
   do more things later. It will replace RCStream
   . Tools that use RCStream
   should move to EventStreams before 7 July. Tech News wrote about this in
   the 2017/07
   
issue. [2]
