Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-06-25/Technology report

This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version, and changes with a version number higher than that will not yet be active.

Fixed bugs

 * Some mixes of &lt;pre> tags and section headers no longer cause section editing to duplicate part of the page. (r23101, bug 10309)
 * Protecting a redirect now returns to the redirect itself, not to its target. (r23304, bug 10344)

New features

 * [] now shows the username of the new user who made the change. (r23075, bug 10306)
 * A new interface message MediaWiki:Revision-info-current now displays instead of MediaWiki:Revision-info when the current revision is shown in the history. (r23113, bug 9328)
 * The 'watch' action now uses AJAX when possible. (r23233, bug 10326)
 * Special:Contributions can now be filtered by month and year. (r23297, bug 516)

Other technology news

 * Google Earth now has support for parsing the coord template in Wikipedia database dumps, in addition to the previously supported coor title dm and coor at dm (and their d and dms versions) and coor dm inside an infobox.

Ongoing news

 * Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla.
