[1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152025> *Changes this week* - Page Previews <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_Previews> will be updated on 23 February. This fixes many bugs. Page Previews can be turned on as the Beta Feature <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures> called Hovercards. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156290> - [image: Octicons-tools.svg] There has been a problem where the CSS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Cascading_Style_Sheets> of gadgets <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikipedia:Gadget> has been loading twice. The Gadgets extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Gadgets> has two new options: type and peers. The type option solves this problem. You can use peers to create gadgets with more than one style module. Read more about type <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RL/MGU#Gadget_type> and peers <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RL/MGU#Gadget_peers>.
