Hi, The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2016/50>. Below is the English version.
You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next>. More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute>. You can also contact me directly. As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged. ————————————————————————————— *Other languages:* العربية <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/ar> • čeština <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/cs> • Deutsch <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/de> • Ελληνικά <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/el> • *English* • Esperanto <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/eo> • español <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/es> • فارسی <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/fa> • suomi <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/fi> • français <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/fr> • עברית <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/he> • italiano <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/it> • 日本語 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/ja> • polski <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/pl> • português do Brasil <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/pt-br> • русский <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/ru> • svenska <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/sv> • українська <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/uk> • Tiếng Việt <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/vi> • 中文 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2016/50/zh> 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/2016/50> are available. *Recent changes* - Users who have Yahoo email addresses could not use Special:EmailUser <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser> to send emails. This has now been fixed. Emails will now come from a @wikimedia.org address. Users who get an email from you will still reply to your email address and be able to see it. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66795> - You can now see how many categories and pages there are in the categories in Special:TrackingCategories <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:TrackingCategories>. This is to help you find pages that could need attention. [2] <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/321225/> - Markup colours for reviewed and pending revisions in the page history <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Page_history> and recent changes and logs <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages> now match Wikimedia standard colours <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/M82>. The "You have a new message on your talk page" notification will have a slightly different colour. [3] <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-December/087151.html> *Problems* - Because of work on cross-wiki watchlists <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Cross-wiki_watchlist> global renaming <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Global_rename_policy> is not working. The plan is to turn it on again on 16 December. Global renaming was turned off for a while in late November and early December as well. [4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148242> *Changes this week* - [image: Octicons-sync.svg] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.29/wmf.6> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 December. It will be on all wikis from 15 December (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.29/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 December 13 at 20:00 (UTC) <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=20&min=00&sec=0&day=13&month=12&year=2016>.
