Latest *tech news

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

*Problems*

   - Last week's Tech News had delivery problems. Some did not get the
   newsletter. Some got it more than one time. The developers are working on
   the problem. [1] 
   - There was a problem with the new MediaWiki version last week. The new
   version was paused. [2]
   

*Changes later this week*

   - You will be able to read but not to edit some mid-sized wikis for up
   to 30 minutes on September 17 at 05:00 (UTC)
   .
   You can see which wikis
   

   . [3] 
   - [image: Recurrent item] The new version
    of MediaWiki will
   be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 September. It will be on
   non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 September. It will be on
   all wikis from 19 September (calendar
   ).

*Meetings*

   - [image: Recurrent item] [image: Advanced item] You can join the
   technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers
   can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 18 September at 15:00 (UTC)
   .
   See how to join
   .

*Future changes*

   - The Wikipedia app
    for
   Android invites users to do small tasks. This is to get more readers to
   edit. If they get reverted too many times it will pause or block the tasks
   for that user. All normal editing will still work if the community doesn't
   block the user. The developers want to know if the plan looks OK.
You can see
   what it could look like
   

and give feedback
   

   .
   - [image: Advanced item] When you look at an old version of a page you
   get a warning that this is not the newest version. This uses the CSS
    class
   .mw-revision. It will use the CSS class .warningbox for styling instead.
   If your wiki uses templates to change how the warning looks they will have
   to be updated. This will happen later. If this would cause problems you
   should tell the developers in the next couple of weeks. [4]
