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

available.

*Problems*

   - You will be able to read but not to edit the wikis for up to an hour
   on 27 October around 14:00 (UTC)
   <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1603807200>. It will probably be
   shorter than an hour. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T264364>
   - Last week, links to "diffs" from mobile watchlists and recentchanges
   were linking to page-revisions instead of diffs. This has now been fixed.
   [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265654>

*Changes later this week*

   - There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

*Future changes*

   - Since the introduction of the interface administrators
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Interface_administrators>
user
   group in 2018, administrators couldn’t view the deleted history of CSS/JS
   pages. Now they can. [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T202989>
   - There was a problem with the Change Tags
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Tags>. The software would apply
   the "Reverted" tag to any page actions such as page-protection changes if
   they came directly after a reverted edit. This has now been fixed for new
   edits. [4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265312>
   - The Reply tool
   
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk_pages_project/replying>
will
   be offered as an opt-in Beta Feature
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Beta_Feature> on most
   Wikipedias in November. Another announcement will be made once the date is
   finalized. [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266303>
