Issues and maintenance
- The Wikipedia apps briefly showed pages without CSS last week, resulting in a garbled layout. The issue was quickly fixed but cached pages without CSS were still shown for a few hours. [1][2]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 September. It will be on all wikis from 17 September (calendar).

Fine print: Tech news in British English (en-gb) does not necessarily use British spelling. It is only British in spirit, unoversimplified when compared to the regular English version, allowing more complex terms (e.g. "issues" instead of "problems") and constructions.
