Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2016/36> are available. *Recent changes* - Word-level diffs now work in longer paragraphs. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128697> - Interactive maps now have a frame by default. This is to make them look like other multimedia objects. This affects all Wikivoyages, the Catalan, Hebrew, Macedonian Wikipedias and Meta. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128913> - [image: Octicons-tools.svg] When you preview the MediaWiki:Captcha-ip-whitelist <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Captcha-ip-whitelist> page it will show a validation output of the listed IP addresses <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:IP_address> instead of the list of addresses only. This can help you to identify if your whitelist rules will work or not. [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129757> *Changes this week* - You will be able to use <maplink> <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer#.3Cmaplink.3E> on all Wikipedias. It creates a link to a full screen map. [4] <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-August/086391.html> [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144062> - Sometimes when you mention another user they don't get a notification. You will be able to get a notification when you successfully send out a mention to someone or be told if they did not get a notification. This will be opt-in. [6] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144181>[7] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143101> - [image: Octicons-sync.svg] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.28/wmf.18> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 September. It will be on all wikis from 8 September (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.28/Roadmap>). *Meetings* - [image: Octicons-sync.svg] You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 September at 19:00 (UTC) <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=19&min=00&sec=0&day=06&month=09&year=2016>. See how to join <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Weekly_triage_meetings>. *Future changes* - [image: Octicons-tools.svg] The CheckUser extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CheckUser> could work differently in the future. There is a Request for Comments <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/CheckUser_requirements> to figure out how.
