Tech News: 2017-15
 Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes
 * Octicons-tools.svg Tidy is going to be replaced with an HTML5 parsing algorithm. Bad HTML in wikitext would cause problems on a number of wikis. There is now a ParserMigration extension on all wikis that you can use to help clean this up. You can read more about how you can use it.

Changes this week
 * Some older web browsers will not be able to use JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis from this week. If you have an old web browser on your computer you can upgrade to a newer version.
 * New filters for Recent changes will come to Wikidata and Persian, Russian, Turkish and French Wikipedia on 11 April. The schedule has been changed to fix the user intent prediction filters for some wikis. User intent prediction means the filter tries to make it easier for editors to determine if the edit was made in good faith or not. Other wikis will get it later.
 * The list of special characters in the wikitext editor and the visual editor will now have a group of Canadian Aboriginal characters.
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 April. It will be on all wikis from 13 April (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 April at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes
 * Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for 20 to 30 minutes on 19 April and 3 May. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. You can read more about this.
 * RevisionSlider will change how you move between revisions. This will be available on the test wiki from 11 April. It will come to other wikis later if users like the change. You can test it and give feedback.

I know you feel my changes were unconstructive but I do not think so, My dad is the head of Wikipedia and you will get banned if you don't stop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.138.76.10 (talk) 13:45, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, Dad has three more years to teach you how to edit properly. --Neil N  talk to me 13:53, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

The Piccadilly Rats Wikipedia.
Hello, I am the manager for the band The Piccadilly Rats and I have noticed that further amendments to the band biography that I added last night have been removed and the article reset back to the previous version. I received your message explaining that this was because the content was considered 'unconstructive'. Exactly what do you mean by that? I have to take exception to your accusation that any of the text was 'unconstructive' because the extra sentences were actually more detailed biography particulars of the various band members. At no point were any defamatory or libellous or indeed offensive language used in my text. I should know what I am writing about because I am also a journalist and can word my text in a suitably appropriate and informative way. I am very disappointed that all my work has been undone and now I have to start again from scratch. I am only acting on the wishes of the band members who contributed the extra bits of text to their respective biographies and carrying out the instructions to make the biographies more comprehensive. In what way is this even considered 'unconstructive'? What sort of criteria or written parameters does one need to adhere to in order to see an article in Wikipedia left as the author or contributor intended it to be?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.190.179 (talk) 18:00, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
