Recent changes
- When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text.
Problems
- Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week.
- Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed.
<maplink>did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed.{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected.- When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this.
Changes later this week

You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
- Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.
