Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-10-29/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 necessarily live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version, and changes to the software with a version number higher than that will not yet be active. Configuration changes and changes to interface messages, however, become active immediately.

Fixed bugs
(none relevant to the English Wikipedia)

New features

 * The &lt;title> of the API help page is now different from the title of an API results page. (r26933, bug 11721)
 * An |registration API query for the user list now accepts 'registration' as a possible piece of information to return. (r26953, bug 11562)

Configuration changes

 * $wgNoticeScroll (which controls the scrolling of the donations message in the sitenotice) was turned off for Wikimedia wikis (see related story).

Ongoing news

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