Translations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2022/34> are available. *Recent changes* - Two problems with Kartographer <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Kartographer> maps have been fixed. Maps are no longer shown as empty when a geoline was created via VisualEditor. Geolines consisting of points with QIDs (e.g., subway lines) are no longer shown with pushpins. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T292613>[2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308560> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/wmf.26> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 August. It will be on all wikis from 25 August (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/Roadmap>). - Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch of their main database. It will be performed on 25 August at 7:00 UTC (targeted wikis <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s4.dblist>). - The colours of links and visited links will change. This is to make the difference between links and other text more clear.
