This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.43.1, and changes with a version number higher than that will not yet be active.
Fixed bugs
- Some mixes of <pre> tags and section headers no longer cause section editing to duplicate part of the page. (r23101, bug 10309)
- Protecting a redirect now returns to the redirect itself, not to its target. (r23304, bug 10344)
New features
- [1] now shows the username of the new user who made the change. (r23075, bug 10306)
- A new interface message MediaWiki:Revision-info-current now displays instead of MediaWiki:Revision-info when the current revision is shown in the history. (r23113, bug 9328)
- The 'watch' action now uses AJAX when possible. (r23233, bug 10326)
- Special:Contributions can now be filtered by month and year. (r23297, bug 516)
Other technology news
- Google Earth now has support for parsing the Template:Tl template in Wikipedia database dumps, in addition to the previously supported Template:Tl and Template:Tl (and their d and dms versions) and Template:Tl inside an infobox. [2]
Ongoing news
- Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See m:Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla.
