Problemas
- Readers who were not logged in briefly saw the interface in a language decided by their browser. It should normally be in the language of the wiki. This happened for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug.
Changes later this week
- If you forget your password you can ask for a new one to be sent to your email address. You need to know your email address or your username. You will now be able to choose that you need to enter both your email address and your username. This will be a preference. This is to get fewer password reset emails someone else asked for.
- When you asked for a new password you could see if the username didn't exist on Special:PasswordReset. Now the page will show the username you entered and tell you an email has been sent if the username exists. This is for better security.
- On Special:WhatLinksHere you can see what other pages link to a page. You can see if the link is from a redirect. You can now see which section the redirect links to.
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 marzo. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 marzo. It will be on all wikis from 5 marzo (calendar).
Future changes
- The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. You can give feedback.
