Latest **tech news** from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.  
**Recent software changes**
- The latest version of MediaWiki (1.24wmf8) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on June 5. It will be added to non-Wikipedia wikis on June 10, and to all Wikipedias on June 12 (calendar).
- You can now use guided tours on the Arabic (ar), Bengali (bn) and Norwegian (no) Wikipedias. If you want this tool on your wiki, you need to [//translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-guidedtour&filter=&action=translate translate it] and ask in [//bugzilla.wikimedia.org Bugzilla].  
**VisualEditor news**
- You should no longer be able to add empty references with VisualEditor.
- The "use an existing reference" button in the reference tool is now shown as disabled, rather than hidden, when the reference has content.
- You will now see category contents again after saving an edit to a category page with VisualEditor.  
**Future software changes**
- MediaViewer will be enabled by default on all wikis on June 12. Feedback is welcome.
- You will be able to use information from Wikidata directly in Wikiquote pages starting on June 10.
- On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, translation administrators will soon be able to use the page migration tool to import existing translations to the new system.
- You will soon see metadata on file description pages for Ogg files (example video, example audio). Some metadata with non-English characters may need to be purged or transcoded to UTF-8 before they show correctly.
- Templates containing <code></code> tags is now at the bottom of the Cite menu, below references that use templates like <code></code>.
- Context menus will no longer be shown over items that you can edit directly, for example formulæ.  
**Future software changes**
- Starting on July 9, it will be possible to globally rename global (<abbr title="Single User Login">SUL</abbr>) users. The feature was first scheduled for July 1, but was delayed due to bugs.
- A plan to enable CirrusSearch as the primary search method on the 11 largest Wikimedia wikis has now been prepared.
- If you use references on a page, you will soon always see them at the bottom of the page, even if you forget to add the <code></code> tag (or a template).
- Black-and-white XCF images will soon display correctly.
- Description pages of SVG files will soon always show download links for multiple resolutions (example). The links were previously shown only for SVG files in large original resolutions.  
**Problems**
- Between July 2-3, there were problems with loading pages on multiple wikis due to a configuration issue.
- For a few hours on July 1, there were problems with uploading new files on Wikimedia Commons due to a configuration error.
