Latesttech newsfrom the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.Translationsare available.
Recent changes
- Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questionson the project talkpage.[1]
- The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode.[2]
Problems
- You cancopy permanent links to talk page commentsby clicking on a comment's timestamp.This featuredid not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug.[3]
Changes later this week
Thenew versionof MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar).[4][5]
- Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this featureon Difforon Mediawiki.org.[6]

Tech News: 2024-27[edit]
Latesttech newsfrom the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.Translationsare available.
Recent changes
- Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of thetop-requested community wishes,and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information inthe latest Web team update.[7]
- Logged-in users can now setglobal preferences for the text-size and dark-mode,thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis.[8]
- If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use newCSSfeatures and to send less code to all readers.[9][10]
- Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily usingCommunity Configuration.Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configureGrowth featureson their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months.[11]
- Editors interested in language issues that are related toUnicode standards,can now discuss those topics ata new conversation space in MediaWiki.org.The Wikimedia Foundation is now amember of the Unicode Consortium,and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
- One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia inMandailing(

)[12]
Problems

Future changes
