Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News
This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are necessarily live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.43.0-wmf.1 (8e1947e), and changes to the software with a version number higher than that will not yet be active. Configuration changes and changes to interface messages, however, become active immediately.
Fixed bugs
- The paging links in Special:Prefixindex now work correctly on pages with ampersands in their names. (r37704, bug 13949)
- Special:Userlogout now doesn't show broken unified-logout images for a user who does not have a global account. (r37772, bug 14842)
New features
- The information in Special:UnwatchedPages is now available to administrators via the API (using list=allpages with apfilterwatched). (r37748, bug 14020)
Other technology news
- The EasyTimeline extension (used to add timelines in some wiki pages) was broken recently, causing pages with timelines in them to become inaccessible; it has been reverted to an older version temporarily pending a fix.
Ongoing news
- Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See mw:Localisation statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla or use Betawiki.
