*Recent changes* - The Nuke <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Nuke> feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T43351> - New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [2] <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:WMF_support_for_Commons/Upload_Wizard_Improvements#Changes_to_%22Describe%22_workflow> [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T361049> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.43/wmf.6> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.43/Roadmap>). [4] <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train>[5] <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar> - The HTML used to render all headings is being changed to improve accessibility <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Heading_HTML_changes>. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and report any related problems <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T13555> so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337286> if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that. *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/2024/21> • 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>.*
