Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/13> are available. *Recent changes* - The new version of the content translation tool <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Content_translation/V2> will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212646> *Problems* - There was a problem with editing with Safari <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Safari_(web_browser)> on iOS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:IOS>. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218352> - The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:IOS> devices. This will be fixed soon. [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218414> - Wikis can over-ride interface messages <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:System_message> on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message. Purging the page should fix it for them. [4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218918> *Changes later this week* - [image: Recurrent item] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/wmf.23> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 March.

It will be on all wikis from 28 March (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/Roadmap>). *Meetings* - [image: Recurrent item] [image: Advanced item] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC.
