Wikitext highlighting out of beta[edit]
Wikitext syntax highlighting, also known as CodeMirror, has been moved out of Beta Features and is available in the 2017 Wikitext Editor on all wikis. Syntax highlighting helps you see problems in your wikitext before previewing or publishing text. Please try out the tool if you did not do so while it was being developed, and feedback is welcome. - Keegan (WMF) (talk)

Making a button which add an signature at the end of section[edit]
The specification of what I try to achieve is described in phabricator:T193952. My current attempt led me to use Extension:InputBox. However as reported in the ticket it doesn't meet the expected result:
- it still make user face a wikitext edit and save experience, rather than directly saving an edit appending user signature in the numbered list
- once saved the text is appended only after a blank line, which break the numbering of the numbered list. I made some attempt to cirvcunvent this specific finding a way to insert a delete character applied when the text is inserted in the article, but didn't find any way to do that
Any suggestion is welcome, it doesn't have to use InputBox. For example if that could be made through a link using something like https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Psychoslave/test/api_edit&action=edit&appendtext=this_is_content&summary=dummy_test or an other form extension that enable to make arbitrary form, it would be fine. I would prefer to do that only using code that can be changed on the wiki, but if that is not possible, I also welcome any help to do it otherwise.
Please notify me if you can provide any help. --Psychoslave (talk) 15:24, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

JavaScript issues on Wikimedia wikis[edit]
Hi, I ran a script against all Wikimedia wikis, and tracked JavaScript errors. I think in most cases these are exceptions that are being thrown for most viewers on every page :( I would appreciate people with the appropriate access helping fix these, or contact people who can.

- I notified an admin on huwikiquote, hopefully it will be fixed soon. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 09:37, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
- I think I've fixed bugwiki, eswikivoyage, fawiktionary (partially), sawikisource, tawikisource, and trwikinews. lvwikibooks is closed (I guess some of the others may be closed too). --Krenair (talk • contribs) 12:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Lnnocentius: can you notify someone from zhwiki? — regards, Revi 17:13, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

- Hello @Legoktm: can you check arwiki again, thank you.--جار الله (talk) 04:53, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Would you mind sharing the script please @Legoktm:? Many thanks. --Krenair (talk • contribs) 10:20, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- Source code is in git:integration/audit-resources, and it gets run by Jenkins once a day. I just kicked off a run, it takes a little over an hour, so I'll post back with the arwiki results then. Legoktm (talk) 16:23, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
- arwiki appears to be fixed, thanks! There's a different error at arwiktionary if you (or know someone) could take a look. Legoktm (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
