Recent software changes
- The "Special:Cite" page is now called "Special:CiteThisPage". That way, you know it's to cite the page, not to add a reference. [1]
- You can no longer use the
insource:keyword for text searches. It caused issues with the new search tool. It will come back later. [2] [3]
Problems
- There was a bug in VisualEditor with Internet Explorer. It hid tools like the link editor when you opened them. The bug was fixed on Monday. [4]
- Issues with the new search tool caused geo data code to show up on pages on Monday and Friday. The mobile "nearby" tool was also broken. The problem is now fixed. [5] [6] [7]
- HHVM caused server issues on Thursday. They are now fixed.
Software changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki (1.25wmf5) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since October 29. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 4, and on all Wikipedias from November 5 (calendar).
- Some wikis have icons at the top of a page to show if it is protected or featured. Icons show up using CSS. You can now use the
<indicator>tag in these templates instead to add the icons. [8] [9] - VisualEditor now tells you if you're editing a re-used reference. This helps you avoid changing it if you just want to add a new one. [10]
- The icons in VisualEditor's template editor tool for adding more fields are back, along with other fixes. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
- After November 6, all wikis will have the tool to edit TemplateData. [16] [17] [18]
Future changes
- The new search tool will come to the last wikis in the coming weeks. This includes Wikipedia in French, Chinese, German and English. [19]

Bilder Bundestag
Ich überleg ja oft wer alles das Recht hat Bildmaterial aus dem Reichstag zu besitzen bzw. zu produzieren. Für Unterschicht-TV gibt es jedenfalls keine Probleme. --Itu (Diskussion) 17:32, 8. Nov. 2014 (CET)

Recent software changes
- You may see a new tool on the mobile site of the English Wikipedia. It asks simple questions to make the article better. In the future, your answers will go to Wikidata. [20] [21]
- The MediaWiki API now shows information in a nice format. You can translate it in translatewiki.net. [22]
- Reminder: You can help fix file information on your wiki. It will help robots understand the information. After that, it will be easier for you to search files and re-use them.
- You can join two IRC chats this week to learn more about the file cleanup project. One will be on Wednesday at 18:00 (UTC) and the other on Thursday at 04:00 (UTC). You can ask questions during the chat if you need help to fix files on your wiki.
- You can see a list of files to fix on the Labs tool. You can report bugs and ask questions on the talk page.
Problems
- Wikimedia Labs was broken for a few hours on Thursday. It was due to a hardware problem. [23]
Software changes this week
- The new version of MediaWiki (1.25wmf7) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since November 5. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 11, and on all Wikipedias from November 12 (calendar).
- You can now use more editing tools for tables in VisualEditor. You can add rows and columns, merge cells, and edit table captions. [24] [25]
- The style and insert menus in the toolbar of VisualEditor now show fewer tools. This helps you see the most common tasks. You can see all items by clicking "More". [26]

Global AbuseFilter
Hallo,
AbuseFilter (Missbrauchsfilter) ist eine MediaWiki-Erweiterung, mit der wahrscheinlich missbräuchliche Verhaltensmuster aufgespürt werden können ─ wie Vandalismus und Spam. Globale Missbrauchsfilter wurden 2013 auf einer begrenzten Zahl von Wikis einschließlich Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org und Wikispecies sowie Anfang 2014 auf allen "kleinen Wikis" aktiviert. Vor Kurzem wurden globale Missbrauchsfilter ebenso auf "mittelgroßen Wikis" aktiviert. Diese Filter werden zurzeit von Stewards auf Meta-Wiki verwaltet und haben sich als sehr effektiv gezeigt, um massenweise Spam-Angriffe gegen Wikimedia-Projekte zu verhindern. Allerdings gibt es trotz einiger Vorschläge zurzeit keine Regeln, wie globale Missbrauchsfilter verwaltet werden sollen. Es gibt auf Meta ein Meinungsbild, um Regeln für den Gebrauch der globalen Missbrauchsfilter festzulegen. In der Zwischenzeit können sich einzelne Wikis gegen den Gebrauch der globalen Missbrauchsfilter entscheiden. Diese Wikis können dafür einfach den Wunsch auf dieser Liste bei Meta-Wiki hinzufügen. Weitere Einzelheiten sind auf dieser Seite von Meta-Wiki zu finden. Bei weiteren Fragen scheue dich nicht, sie auf m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter zu stellen.
Vielen Dank,

VisualEditor coming to this wiki as a Beta Feature
Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you translated this message!
VisualEditor, a rich-text editor for MediaWiki, will soon be available on this wiki as a Beta Feature. The estimated date of activation is Wednesday, 26 November.
To access it, you will need to visit the Beta-Funktionen page after the deployment and tick the box next to "⧼Visualeditor-preference-core-label⧽". (If you have enabled the "Automatisch die meisten Beta-Funktionen aktivieren" option, VisualEditor will be automatically available for you.) There will also be a "⧼Visualeditor-preference-language-label⧽" that you can enable if you need it.
Then, you just have to click on "Bearbeiten" to start VisualEditor, or on "Quelltext bearbeiten" to edit using wikitext markup. You can even begin to edit pages with VisualEditor and then switch to the wikitext editor simply by clicking on its tab at any point, and you can keep your changes when doing so.
A guide was just published at mediawiki.org so that you can learn how to support your community with this transition: please read and translate it if you can! You will find all the information about the next steps there. Please report any suggestions or issues at the main feedback page. You will also receive the next issues of the multilingual monthly newsletter here on this page: if you want it delivered elsewhere, for example at your personal talk page, please add the relevant page here.
Thanks for your attention and happy editing, Elitre (WMF) 19:12, 21. Nov. 2014 (CET)VisualEditor coming to this wiki as a Beta Feature (errata)
Please notice the correct direct link to access Beta-Funktionen is this one. Thanks for your understanding! Elitre (WMF) 19:35, 21. Nov. 2014 (CET)
