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 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2023/26> are available. *Recent changes* - The Action API modules and Special:LinkSearch will now add a trailing / to all prop=extlinks responses for bare domains. This is part of the work to remove duplication in the externallinks database table. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337994> *Problems* - Last week, search was broken on Commons and Wikidata for 23 hours. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T339810>[3] <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2023-06-18_search_broken_on_wikidata_and_commons> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/wmf.15> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 June. It will be on all wikis from 29 June (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/Roadmap>). - The Minerva skin now applies more predefined styles to the .mbox-text CSS class. This enables support for mbox templates that use divs instead of tables. Please make sure that the new styles won't affect other templates in your wiki. [4] <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/skins/MinervaNeue/+/930901/> [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T339040> - Gadgets will now load on both desktop and mobile by default. Previously, gadgets loaded only on desktop by default. Changing this default using the |targets= parameter is also deprecated and should not be used. You should make gadgets work on mobile or disable them based on the skin (with the |skins= parameter in MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition) rather than whether the user uses the mobile or the desktop website. Popular gadgets that create errors on mobile will be disabled by developers on the Minerva skin as a temporary solution. [6] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127268> - All namespace tabs now have the same browser access key <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Keyboard_shortcuts> by default. Previously, custom and extension-defined namespaces would have to have their access keys set manually on-wiki, but that is no longer necessary. [7] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T22126> - The review form of the Flagged Revisions extension now uses the standardized user interface components <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Codex>. [8] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191156> *Future changes* - How media is structured in the parser's HTML output will change in the coming weeks at group2 wikis <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Train#Thursday>. This change improves the accessibility of content. You may need to update your site-CSS, or userscripts and gadgets. There are details on what code to check, how to update the code, and where to report any related problems <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Media_structure/FAQ>.
