Well, there's clearly more than that in the category, I don't know if subcategories can be made for everything. [[Design]] could go under [[:Category:Wikimedia]] directly, but it seems excessive. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 15:21, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2013/49|Translations]] are available.

This newsletter is now posted using [[m:Special:MyLanguage/User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]].

'''New features'''
* The [[mw:Extension:CommonsMetadata|CommonsMetadata]] feature was added to all wikis. It creates metadata information about multimedia files (like their license) that can be read automatically by computer programs. It not only works for Commons, but for all wikis, and you can use it for files on your wiki by [[m:commons:Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Machine-readable data|editing templates]] used to describe metadata. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-November/000508.html]
* [[m:w:en:JavaScript|JavaScript]] code used on Wikimedia sites is now [[m:w:en:Web storage|saved locally]] on your computer to load faster. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-December/073330.html]

'''[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/VisualEditor/Portal|VisualEditor]]'''
* You can now paste formatted content copied from external sources (not just as plain text) into VisualEditor; this includes copy/pasting from other VisualEditor windows. [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=836802#2013-12-05_.28MW_1.23wmf6.29]
* You can now open VisualEditor by adding <code>?veaction=edit</code> to the page URL, regardless of your user preferences. [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=836802#2013-12-05_.28MW_1.23wmf6.29]
* Many bugs have been fixed, and VisualEditor should also look faster, for example when you save a page. [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=836802#2013-12-05_.28MW_1.23wmf6.29]

'''Problems'''
* Due to issues, the new search tool ("[[mw:Search|CirrusSearch]]") was recently removed from wikis where it was enabled, then added again. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-December/000514.html]

'''Future'''
* [[mw:MediaWiki 1.23/wmf6|MediaWiki 1.23wmf6]] was added to test wikis on December 5. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on December 10 and all Wikipedia wikis on December 12 ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.23/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* The old Etherpad tool (replaced by a [http://etherpad.wikimedia.org new version]) will be removed on December 30, 2013. You can still save old pads before that date using the old address: https://etherpad-old.wikimedia.org. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-November/073249.html]
