Hi,

The latest technical newsletter is now available at <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/17>.
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.

*Tech News*

   - The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 4 May 2020.

*Recent changes*

   -  The small wiki toolkits
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits> is to help smaller
   wikis that need technical skills. They can learn and share technical
   skills. [1]
   <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-April/093296.html>
   -  Over-qualified CSS selectors in Wikimedia skins have been removed.
   div#content is now .mw-body. div.portal is now .portal. div#footer is
   now #footer. This is so the skins can use HTML5
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:HTML5> elements. If your gadgets or
   user styles used them you will have to update them. [2]
