Probleme
- Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [1]
- Die Wikis werden wieder mit neuen und aktualisierten Übersetzungen von translatewiki.net versorgt. Das geschieht ein mal pro Woche. Die Entwickler arbeiten daran, die Probleme zu beseitigen, so dass die Übersetzungen wieder häufiger aktualisiert werden können. [2]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- When you create an abuse filter that prevents edits you can now write a specific error message for it. Before this all abuse filters that prevented edits had the same error message. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 Oktober. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 Oktober. It will be on all wikis from 18 Oktober (calendar).
Treffen
- There will be no more meetings with the Editing team. This is because not enough Wikimedians were interested. To tell developers which bugs you think are the most important you can use Phabricator as normal. [4]
-
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 Oktober at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
