Letzte Änderungen
- Google Translate kann jetzt mit dem Inhaltsübersetzungswerkzeug genutzt werden. [1][2]
- Es ist jetzt möglich mehrsprachige Captions (Bildunterschrift) zu Dateien auf Wikimedia Commons hinzuzufügen. Captions sind kurze Beschreibungen der Datei. Sie können in alle Sprachen übersetzt werden, die in den Wikimedia-Projekten genutzt werden. Dabei kann kein WikitextMarkup genutzt werden. (Beschreibung auf Wikimedia Commons)
- Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [3][4]
Templates with <templatestyles> could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. <templatestyles> has a new wrapperparameter now. You can use it for selectors like.mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [5]
Probleme
- When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [6]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Mit dem FileExporter ist es möglich Dateien aus den Wikis nach Commons zu verschieben und dabei die Versionsgeschichte beizubehalten. Der FileExporter wird als Beta-Funktion für alle Wikis ab 16. Januar verfügbar sein. Wenn du die Funktion testen möchstest, kannst du sie in deinen Einstellungen aktivieren und die Konfigurations-Datei in deinem Wiki prüfen. (Technische Wünsche)
- Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [7]
- The AbuseFilter variable
minor_edithas been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter. 
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 Januar. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 Januar. It will be on all wikis from 17 Januar (calendar).
Treffen
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 16 Januar at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Zukünftige Änderungen
- In the future users can be blocked from editing a page or a namespace. What a "block" means will change. This means that you might have to update tools you maintain that handle blocks. [8]
