Technology report
Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News
This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Some bug fixes or new features described below have not yet gone live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.44.0-wmf.1 (fbc8c4f), and changes to the software with a version number higher than that will not yet be active. Configuration changes and changes to interface messages, however, become active immediately.
Bots approved
Three bots or bot tasks were approved this week, including:
- SmackBot XVII, for substituting existing uses of {{lifetime}}, which may become subst: only.
- SDPatrolBot 3, for the adjustment of CSD tags
Also approved was Porchcropbot, an alternate account. There are a number of open discussions, including one that would involve the mass addition of material to a number of articles from a database. Anyone is free to comment.
