“ There are some new tools to make it easier for newcomers to start editing. They are available on some wikis. These wikis had a problem with the visual editor for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug in the new tools. It was soon fixed. Some user scripts and gadgets stopped working because of a change to CSS selectors. .vectorTabs should be replaced with .vector-menu-tabs to fix this. Changes later this weekThe developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This will be released on 24 June. You can give feedback. ”
Quotes from Billinghurst/2020 ()
“ Wikis can protect pages so that only some users can edit them. The standard protection levels are Allow only autoconfirmed users and Allow only administrators. If your wiki use more protection levels the technical name might be renamed for standardisation. This doesn't affect what users see. The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 January. ”
“ In the end we may as well be consistently inaccurate.At English Wikisource our page names in the author: namespace we don't use titles, so the pages are at these consistent and tacitly agreed names, without the titles. Moving them to names independent of all the other wikis based on the opinion of one person is not an unwise approach.If you wish to address the naming of all these pages, then please start a conversation at wikisource:Scriptorium and seek the consensus of the community for your approach. ”
