Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.
What's new?
Our quarterly goal is to add filters to the Recent Changes page, that show ORES good-faith and damaging tests and filters around new users. The work on this is proceeding mostly as planned. We hope it shall be available as a Beta feature (only on wikis where ORES is available as a Beta feature) before the end of the quarter.
Edit Review Improvements [More information]
Recent changes
- The filters design prototype for Special:RecentChanges is now stable. Development of these filters will now start. [1][2]
Flow [More information • Help pages]
Recent changes
- Notifications concerning Flow are no longer all grouped together in your preferences. The "Edits to my user talk page" category will now include Flow notifications about your user talk page (if your user talk page uses Flow), and the "Mentions" category will now include mentions on Flow pages. Previously, all notifications related to Flow were grouped together in the "Structured Discussion" category. [3]
- The orange bar will now also be displayed when a message is posted on your user talk page if your talk page uses Flow; previously, it was only displayed if you had a wikitext talk page. [4]
