The comment section also gives you another platform to reach out to us with questions or concerns.

This extension provides the syntax highlighting in MediaWiki's wikitext editor. Those using the 2010 source editor will notice some changes in the layout as …

Technical Updates: May 31, 2024


Eyo, my lovelies! Another two weeks, another tech blog giving you some insights on a selection of the bugs that got fixed, experiments that are running or upcoming, and other notable tech updates.

This blog may feel a bit on the lighter side than usual, which is partially to be explained by lots of preparation work being done and different countries having days off, as well as Fandom having had its Hackathon last week. In short, that means an event of cross-team collaboration where people just get to work on any and all (crazy?) ideas they may always have wanted to work on. Regardless, there is still info to share with all of you, so let's go!
