Hi, The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2017/10>. 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/2017/10/ar> • čeština <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/cs> • Deutsch <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/de> • Ελληνικά <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/el> • *English* • español <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/es> • فارسی <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/fa> • suomi <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/fi> • français <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/fr> • עברית <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/he> • italiano <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/it> • 日本語 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/ja> • 한국어 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/ko> • polski <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/pl> • português do Brasil <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/pt-br> • русский <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/ru> • svenska <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/sv> • українська <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/uk> • Tiếng Việt <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/vi> • 中文 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/10/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/2017/10> are available. *Recent changes* - You can now search on English, French, Hebrew and Greek wikis and find words even if you forget the diacritics <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/diacritics>. It also works if you use diacritics in your search but the wiki doesn't. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155515> - When you use the mobile view and click on a link to an article in another language you will see that article in the mobile view. Previously it changed to the desktop view. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156578> *Problems* - Some watchlist gadgets didn't work for a period of time last week. This has now been fixed. [3] <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-March/date.html> - Admins who click on "mass delete" on a user's Special:Contributions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions> will be taken directly to a list pages created by that user. It has worked like this before, but not lately. [4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158502> *Changes this week* - The way you switch between wikitext and the visual editors in the desktop view has changed. It is now a drop-down menu. This is the same as in the mobile view. [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116417> - The "flag the edit in the abuse log" checkbox will be removed from the abuse filter <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter> interface. This is because the edits are always flagged in the abuse log. [6] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154091> - [image: Octicons-sync.svg] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.29/wmf.14> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 March. It will be on all wikis from 9 March (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 7 March at 20:00 (UTC) <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=20&min=00&sec=0&day=07&month=03&year=2017>. See how to join <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Weekly_triage_meetings>. *Clarification* - The 2017/09 issue of Tech News <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/09> mentioned 3D file formats you can soon upload to Commons. The AMF <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_Manufacturing_File_Format> format will be available later. *Tech news <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News> prepared by Tech News writers <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Writers> and posted by bot <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/User:MediaWiki_message_delivery> • Contribute <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News#contribute> • Translate <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2017/10> • Get help <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech> • Give feedback <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tech/News> • Subscribe or unsubscribe <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/Tech_ambassadors>.* //Johan Jönsson
