Recent changes
MediaWiki now has a stable interface policy for frontend code that more clearly defines how we deprecate MediaWiki code and wiki-based code (e.g. gadgets and user scripts). Thank you to everyone who contributed to the content and discussions. [1][2]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 September. It will be on all wikis from 21 September (calendar).- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. [3]
- All wikis will have a link in the sidebar that provides a short URL of that page, using the Wikimedia URL Shortener. [4]
