Changes later this week
- When you use rollback you will be able to get a confirmation prompt on most wikis. It asks you if you wanted to do the rollback. This is to avoid misclicks. You will have to opt in to get it. On German Wikipedia it will be an opt-out feature from 28 March. [1][2]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 March. It will be on all wikis from 21 March (calendar).
Meetings
-
You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Admins will be able to block someone from editing a page or a namespace. This already works on a few Wikimedia wikis. You can read more. If your wiki wants to be an early tester of this, you can tell the developers. [3]
- Toolforge will shut down the Ubuntu Trusty job grid. This will happen the week of 25 March. Tools that use this grid needs to be moved to the new Debian Stretch job grid. If they haven't, they will be taken offline. Maintainers can restart the tools later. Users may not be able to use them in the meanwhile. You can see a list of affected tools.

- Admins will be able to block someone from editing a page or a namespace - Interessant, dat zou ook van pas kunnen komen bij bepaalde Arbcom-uitspraken. Encycloon (overleg) 18 mrt 2019 20:48 (CET)

If they haven't, they will be taken offline. -- Voor hen die het interesseert (je merkt er verder niets van): Dit betekent dat het systeem waarop de bots draaien wordt vervangen. De tools van Nlwikibots zijn op één na al verhuisd. De zogenaamde tvpmelder draait nog op de oude omgeving, en werkt momenteel niet. Die wordt vervangen, ik denk dat dat nog voor de 25e lukt. (De meeste particuliere bots draaien op de computersystemen van hun respectievelijke eigenaren, daarvoor is dit bericht niet van toepassing). --Frank Geerlings (overleg) 18 mrt 2019 22:08 (CET)
