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/2023/46> are available. *Recent changes* - Four new wikis have been created: - a Wikipedia in Moroccan Amazigh <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7598268> (w:zgh: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/zgh:>) [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350216> - a Wikipedia in Dagaare <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q35159> ( w:dga: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/dga:>) [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350218> - a Wikipedia in Toba Batak <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33017> ( w:bbc: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bbc:>) [3] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350320> - a Wikiquote in Banjar <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q33151> (q:bjn: <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/bjn:>) [4] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350217> *Problems* - Last week, users who previously visited Meta-Wiki or Wikimedia Commons and then became logged out on those wikis could not log in again. The problem is now resolved. [5] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350695> - Last week, some pop-up dialogs and menus were shown with the wrong font size. The problem is now resolved. [6] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350544> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/wmf.5> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 November. It will be on all wikis from 16 November (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/Roadmap>). *Future changes* - Reference Previews are coming to many wikis as a default feature. They are popups for references, similar to the PagePreviews feature <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Page_Previews>. You can opt out <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WMDE_Technical_Wishes/ReferencePreviews#Opt-out_feature> of seeing them. If you are using the gadgets <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets> Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T282999> is planned for November 22, 2023. - Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams <https://stream.wikimedia.org/?doc#/streams> from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where meta.domain == "canary". Updates to Pywikibot <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Pywikibot> or wikimedia-streams <https://github.com/ChlodAlejandro/wikimedia-streams> will discard these events by default.
