Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent software changes
- The latest version of MediaWiki (1.24wmf10) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on June 19. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on June 24, and to all Wikipedias on June 26 (calendar).
VisualEditor news
- You can now drag-and-drop selections of content, not just files and templates. [1] [2]
- When dragging an item, you will now see a line that helps you to drop it. [3] [4]
- You can now only move an image to the start of a paragraph, not to the middle of it, so you don't accidentally split it. [5] [6]
- You will now be warned if you add wikitext to file captions and references. [7] [8]
Future software changes
- You will no longer be able to upload files on wikis that do not have any copyright tags. [9] [10]
- CirrusSearch will be enabled as the primary search method on additional 70 new wikis, including Meta-Wiki and Wikimedia Incubator, during the next week. [11]
- CirrusSearch results will soon take into account categories, the first paragraph and the wikitext of a page. You will also be able to use regular expressions to search the wikitext. It will take a few days for the changes to be enabled on all wikis. [12]
- You will soon be able to watch translations for e-mail notifications without receiving an e-mail when they are reviewed by another translator. [13] [14]
- An IRC meeting to organize old high priority MediaWiki bug reports will take place on June 24 at 17:00 UTC on the channel #wikimedia-office on freenode (time conversion). [15]
Problems
- On June 19, all wikis were broken for about 15 minutes due to a high server load.
- Between June 13 and June 15 there were problems with the scaling of video files due to a configuration error. [16]

Question
Hello EileenSanda, please tell me, why I have in spite of registration, again an IP-Number. What must I do, to reobtain my last User-Name? Regards -- 217.224.211.44 25. jun 2014 kl. 20:25 (UTC)
- Just log in again, I can't see why you should not be able to log in again if you remember your username and password.
- I can see that you make edits again with you username Sweeper, so it seems that the problem is solved? EileenSanda (talk) 27. jun 2014 kl. 07:20 (UTC)
Good morning EileenSanda, please can you delete one in the site at "leita". I made a mistake there and tried to correct it. Sorry, but it's not succeeded. Therefore one inscription is to much. Thanks and regards -- Sweeper (talk) 28. jun 2014 kl. 07:06 (UTC)
