Technical Updates and Revisions

By Thunderhead, July 19, 2007

• A new magic word has been added to all Wikimedia wikis: allows for changes in a page's displayed title.

• A new MediaWiki message Mediawiki:Sp-contributions-explain has been created, which adds extra information to Special:Contributions.

• It's now possible to style <gallery> and <math> tags using the same style= attribute as is used on HTML tags like <div> and <span>.

• Previews of the licence tags available on Special:Upload are now shown when selected, providing extra legal information about the tags.

• A new feature, Special:DeletedContributions has been added to Wikimedia wikis, which allows sysops to see deleted contributions of any user.
