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.20 (ef87455), 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.
New features
- Special:Recentchangeslinked ('Related changes') has been improved to be more like Special:Recentchanges: (r36682)
- When an administrator creates a new user, and the username given is similar to another user's username, AntiSpoof now prompts to ask whether to create the username rather than just creating it regardless. (r36760, bug 13426)
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.
