  • The Compact Personal Bar was added as a beta feature to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on May 1. It will be added as a beta feature to non-Wikipedia wikis on May 6, and to all Wikipedias on May 8. To test it, you can enable it now in your preferences on MediaWiki.org. [1]
  • It is now easier to disable the CodeEditor tool. [2]

VisualEditor news

  • External links in VisualEditor are now in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki. [3]
  • The template tool now tells you if a parameter is obsolete. [4]
  • You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData; VisualEditor will add them like required ones. [5]

  • If you click on a redirect page in your watchlist, you will soon access the redirect itself. [13] [14]

Problems

  • For about 40 minutes around 00:20 UTC on April 29, there were problems with page loading due to high server load.
