- The diff you see when you compare two different versions of a page has changed on MediaWiki.org and the test wiki. This is to make it easier to find a text change in a moved paragraph. It will hopefully soon come to more wikis. You can report bugs in Phabricator. [1]
- A new user group on Commons will be able to upload MP3 files. The plan is to have this user group from 17 November. [2]
- Wikis using Flagged Revisions will get the New filters for Edit Review by default on the recent changes pages. It will be possible to opt-out in user preferences. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 Lapkritis. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 Lapkritis. It will be on all wikis from 16 Lapkritis (calendar).
