+Change notes from older releases. For current info see RELEASE-NOTES-1.26.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.25 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.25 ===
+* $wgPageShowWatchingUsers was removed.
+* $wgLocalVirtualHosts has been added to replace $wgConf->localVHosts.
+* $wgAntiLockFlags was removed.
+* $wgJavaScriptTestConfig was removed.
+* Edit tokens returned from User::getEditToken may change on every call. Token
+ validity must be checked by passing the user-supplied token to
+ User::matchEditToken rather than by testing for equality with a
+ newly-generated token.
+* (T74951) The UserGetLanguageObject hook may be passed any IContextSource
+ for its $context parameter. Formerly it was documented as receiving a
+ RequestContext specifically.
+* Profiling was restructured and $wgProfiler now requires an 'output' parameter.
+ See StartProfiler.sample for details.
+* $wgMangleFlashPolicy was added to make MediaWiki's mangling of anything that
+ might be a flash policy directive configurable.
+* ApiOpenSearch now supports XML output. The OpenSearchXml extension should no
+ longer be used. If extracts and page images are desired, the TextExtracts and
+ PageImages extensions are required.
+* $wgOpenSearchTemplate is deprecated in favor of $wgOpenSearchTemplates.
+* Edits are now prepared via AJAX as users type edit summaries. This behavior
+ can be disabled via $wgAjaxEditStash.
+* (T46740) The temporary option $wgIncludejQueryMigrate was removed, along
+ with the jQuery Migrate library, as indicated when this option was provided in
+ MediaWiki 1.24.
+* ProfilerStandard and ProfilerSimpleTrace were removed. Make sure that any
+ StartProfiler.php config is updated to reflect this. Xhprof is available
+ for zend/hhvm. Also, for hhvm, one can consider using its xenon profiler.
+* Default value of $wgSVGConverters['rsvg'] now uses the 'rsvg-convert' binary
+ rather than 'rsvg'.
+* Default value of $wgSVGConverters['ImageMagick'] now uses transparent
+ background with white fallback color, rather than just white background.
+ * MediaWikiBagOStuff class removed, make sure any object cache config
+ uses SqlBagOStuff instead.
+* The 'daemonized' flag must be set to true in $wgJobTypeConf for any redis
+ job queues. This means that mediawiki/services/jobrunner service has to
+ be installed and running for any such queues to work.
+* $wgAutopromoteOnce no longer supports the 'view' event. For keeping some
+ compatibility, any 'view' event triggers will still trigger on 'edit'.
+* $wgExtensionDirectory was added for when your extensions directory is somewhere
+ other than $IP/extensions (as $wgStyleDirectory does with the skins directory).
+
+=== New features in 1.25 ===
+* (T64861) Updated plural rules to CLDR 26. Includes incompatible changes
+ for plural forms in Russian, Prussian, Tagalog, Manx and several languages
+ that fall back to Russian.
+* (T60139) ResourceLoaderFileModule now supports language fallback
+ for 'languageScripts'.
+* Added a new hook, "ContentAlterParserOutput", to allow extensions to modify the
+ parser output for a content object before links update.
+* (T37785) Enhanced recent changes and extended watchlist are now default.
+ Documentation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Enhanced_recent_changes
+ and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultUserOptions.
+* (T69341) SVG images will no longer be base64-encoded when being embedded
+ in CSS. This results in slight size increase before gzip compression (due to
+ percent-encoding), but up to 20% decrease after it.
+* Update jStorage to v0.4.12.
+* MediaWiki now natively supports page status indicators: icons (or short text
+ snippets) usually displayed in the top-right corner of the page. They have
+ been in use on Wikipedia for a long time, implemented using templates and CSS
+ absolute positioning.
+ - Basic wikitext syntax: <indicator name="foo">[[File:Foo.svg|20px]]</indicator>
+ - Usage instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Page_status_indicators
+ - Adjusting custom skins to support indicators:
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning#Page_status_indicators
+* Edit tokens may now be time-limited: passing a maximum age to
+ User::matchEditToken will reject any older tokens.
+* The debug logging internals have been overhauled, and are now using the
+ PSR-3 interfaces.
+* Update CSSJanus to v1.1.1.
+* Update lessphp to v0.5.0.
+* Added a hook, "ApiOpenSearchSuggest", to allow extensions to provide extracts
+ and images for ApiOpenSearch output. The semantics are identical to the
+ "OpenSearchXml" hook provided by the OpenSearchXml extension.
+* PrefixSearchBackend hook now has an $offset parameter. Combined with $limit,
+ this allows for pagination of prefix results. Extensions using this hook
+ should implement supporting behavior. Not doing so can result in undefined
+ behavior from API clients trying to continue through prefix results.
+* Update jQuery from v1.11.1 to v1.11.3.
+* External libraries installed via composer will now be displayed
+ on Special:Version in their own section. Extensions or skins that are
+ installed via composer will not be shown in this section as it is assumed
+ they will add the proper credits to the skins or extensions section. They
+ can also be accessed through the API via the new siprop=libraries to
+ ApiQuerySiteInfo.
+* Update QUnit from v1.14.0 to v1.16.0.
+* Update Moment.js from v2.8.3 to v2.8.4.
+* Special:Tags now allows for manipulating the list of user-modifiable change
+ tags.
+* Added 'managetags' user right and 'ChangeTagCanCreate', 'ChangeTagCanDelete',
+ and 'ChangeTagCanCreate' hooks to allow for managing user-modifiable change
+ tags.
+* Added 'ChangeTagsListActive' hook, to separate the concepts of "defined" and
+ "active" formerly conflated by the 'ListDefinedTags' hook.
+* Added TemplateParser class that provides a server-side interface to cachable
+ dynamically-compiled Mustache templates (currently uses lightncandy library).
+* Clickable anchors for each section heading in the content are now generated
+ and appear in the gutter on hovering over the heading.
+* Added 'CategoryViewer::doCategoryQuery' and 'CategoryViewer::generateLink' hooks
+ to allow extensions to override how links to pages are rendered within NS_CATEGORY
+* (T19665) Special:WantedPages only lists page which having at least one red link
+ pointing to it.
+* New hooks 'ApiMain::moduleManager' and 'ApiQuery::moduleManager', can be
+ used for conditional registration of API modules.
+* New hook 'EnhancedChangesList::getLogText' to alter, remove or add to the
+ links of a group of changes in EnhancedChangesList.
+* A full interface for StatsD metric reporting has been added to the context
+ interface, reachable via IContextSource::getStats().
+* Move the jQuery Client library from being mastered in MediaWiki as v0.1.0 to a
+ proper, published library, which is now tagged as v1.0.0.
+* A new message (defaulting to blank), 'editnotice-notext', can be shown to users
+ when they are editing if no edit notices apply to the page being edited.
+* (T94536) You can now make the sitenotice appear to logged-in users only by
+ editing MediaWiki:Anonnotice and replacing its content with "". Setting it to
+ "-" (default) will continue disable it and fallback to MediaWiki:Sitenotice.
+* Modifying the tagging of a revision or log entry is now available via
+ Special:EditTags, generally accessed via the revision-deletion-like interface
+ on history pages and Special:Log is likely to be more useful.
+* Added 'applychangetags' and 'changetags' user rights.
+* (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting the
+ parameters for API log event output. Extensions should implement the new
+ getParametersForApi() method in their log formatters.
+
+==== External libraries ====
+* MediaWiki now requires certain external libraries to be installed. In the past
+ these were bundled inside the Git repository of MediaWiki core, but now they
+ need to be installed separately. For users using the tarball, this will be taken
+ care of and no action will be required. Users using Git will either need to use
+ composer to fetch dependencies or use the mediawiki/vendor repository which includes
+ all dependencies for MediaWiki core and ones used in Wikimedia deployment. Detailed
+ instructions can be found at:
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_Git#Fetch_external_libraries
+* The following libraries are now required:
+** psr/log
+ This library provides the interfaces set by the PSR-3 standard (http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/)
+ which are used by MediaWiki internally via the
+ MediaWiki\Logger\LoggerFactory class.
+ See the structured logging RfC (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Structured_logging)
+ for more background information.
+** cssjanus/cssjanus
+ This library was formerly bundled with MediaWiki core and has been removed.
+ It automatically flips CSS for RTL support.
+** leafo/lessphp
+ This library was formerly bundled with MediaWiki core and has been removed.
+ It compiles LESS files into CSS.
+** wikimedia/cdb
+ This library was formerly a part of MediaWiki core, and has been moved into a separate library.
+ It provides CDB functions which are used in the Interwiki and Localization caches.
+ More information about the library can be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CDB.
+** liuggio/statsd-php-client
+ This library provides a StatsD client API for logging application metrics to a remote server.
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.25 ===
+* (T73003) No additional code will be generated to try to load CSS-embedded
+ SVG images in Internet Explorer 6 and 7, as they don't support them anyway.
+* (T69021) On Special:BookSources, corrected validation of ISBNs (both
+ 10- and 13-digit forms) containing "X".
+* Page moving was refactored into a MovePage class. As part of that:
+** The AbortMove hook was removed.
+** MovePageIsValidMove is for extensions to specify whether a page
+ cannot be moved for technical reasons, and should not be overridden.
+** MovePageCheckPermissions is for checking whether the given user is
+ allowed to make the move.
+** Title::moveNoAuth() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
+** Title::moveTo() was deprecated. Use the MovePage class instead.
+** Title::isValidMoveOperation() broken down into MovePage::isValidMove()
+ and MovePage::checkPermissions().
+* (T18530) Multiple autocomments are now formatted in an edit summary.
+* (T70361) Autocomments containing "/*" are parsed correctly.
+* The Special:WhatLinksHere page linked from 'Number of redirects to this page'
+ on action=info about a file page does not list file links anymore.
+* (T78637) Search bar is not autofocused unless it is empty so that proper scrolling using arrow keys is possible.
+* (T50853) Database::makeList() modified to handle 'NULL' separately when building IN clause
+* (T85192) Captcha position modified in Usercreate template. As a result:
+** extrafields parameter added to Usercreate.php to insert additional data
+** 'extend' method added to QuickTemplate to append additional values to any field of data array
+* (T86974) Several Title methods now load from the database when necessary
+ (instead of returning incorrect results) even when the page ID is known.
+* (T74070) Duplicate search for archived files on file upload now omits the extension.
+ This requires the fa_sha1 field being populated.
+* Removed rel="archives" from the "View history" link, as it did not pass
+ HTML validation.
+* $wgUseTidy is now set when parserTests are run with the tidy option to match
+ output on wiki.
+* (T37472) update.php will purge ResourceLoader cache unless --nopurge is passed to it.
+* (T72109) mediawiki.language should respect $wgTranslateNumerals in convertNumber().
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.25 ===
+* (T67403) XML tag highlighting is now only performed for formats
+ "xmlfm" and "wddxfm".
+* action=paraminfo supports generalized submodules (modules=query+value),
+ querymodules and formatmodules are deprecated
+* action=paraminfo no longer outputs descriptions and other help text by
+ default. If needed, it may be requested using the new 'helpformat' parameter.
+* action=help has been completely rewritten, and outputs help in HTML
+ rather than plain text.
+* Hitting api.php without specifying an action now displays only the help for
+ the main module, with links to submodule help.
+* API help is no longer displayed on errors.
+* 'uselang' is now a recognized API parameter; "uselang=user" may be used to
+ explicitly select the language from the current user's preferences, and
+ "uselang=content" may be used to select the wiki's content language.
+* Default output format for the API is now jsonfm.
+* Simplified continuation will return a "batchcomplete" property in the result
+ when a batch of pages is complete.
+* Pretty-printed HTML output now has nicer formatting and (if available)
+ better syntax highlighting.
+* Deprecated list=deletedrevs in favor of newly-added prop=deletedrevisions and
+ list=alldeletedrevisions.
+* prop=revisions will gracefully continue when given too many revids or titles,
+ rather than just ignoring the extras.
+* prop=revisions will no longer die if rvcontentformat doesn't match a
+ revision's content model; it will instead warn and omit the content.
+* If the user has the 'deletedhistory' right, action=query's revids parameter
+ will now recognize deleted revids.
+* prop=revisions may be used as a generator, generating revids.
+* (T68776) format=json results will no longer be corrupted when
+ $wgMangleFlashPolicy is in effect. format=php results will cleanly return an
+ error instead of returning invalid serialized data.
+* Generators may now return data for the generated pages when used with
+ action=query.
+* Query page data for generator=search and generator=prefixsearch will now
+ include an "index" field, which may be used by the client for sorting the
+ search results.
+* ApiOpenSearch now supports XML output.
+* ApiOpenSearch will now output descriptions and URLs as array indexes 2 and 3
+ in JSON format.
+* (T76051) list=tags will now continue correctly.
+* (T76052) list=tags can now indicate whether a tag is defined.
+* (T75522) list=prefixsearch now supports continuation
+* (T78737) action=expandtemplates can now return page properties.
+* (T78690) list=allimages now accepts multiple pipe-separated values
+ for the 'aimime' parameter.
+* prop=info with inprop=protections will now return applicable protection types
+ with the 'restrictiontypes' key.
+* (T85417) When resolving redirects, ApiPageSet will now add the targets of
+ interwiki redirects to the list of interwiki titles.
+* (T85417) When outputting the list of redirect titles, a 'tointerwiki'
+ property (like the existing 'tofragment' property) will be set.
+* Added action=managetags to allow for managing the list of
+ user-modifiable change tags. Actually modifying the tagging of a revision or
+ log entry is not implemented yet.
+* list=tags has additional properties to indicate 'active' status and tag
+ sources.
+* siprop=libraries was added to ApiQuerySiteInfo to list installed external libraries.
+* (T88010) Added action=checktoken, to test a CSRF token's validity.
+* (T88010) Added intestactions to prop=info, to allow querying of
+ Title::userCan() via the API.
+* Default type param for query list=watchlist and list=recentchanges has
+ been changed from all types (e.g. including 'external') to 'edit|new|log'.
+* Added formatversion to format=json. Still "experimental" as further changes
+ to the output formatting might still be made.
+* (T73020) Log event details are now always under a 'params' subkey for
+ list=logevents, and a 'logparams' subkey for list=watchlist and
+ list=recentchanges.
+* Log event details are changing formatting:
+ * block events now report flags as an array rather than as a comma-separated
+ list.
+ * patrol events now report the 'auto' flag as a boolean (absent/empty string
+ for BC formats) rather than as an integer.
+ * rights events now report the old and new group lists as arrays rather than
+ as comma-separated lists.
+ * merge events use new-style formatting.
+ * delete/event and delete/revision events use new-style formatting.
+* The root node and various other nodes will now always be an object in formats
+ such as json that distinguish between arrays and objects.
+ * Except for action=opensearch where the spec requires an array.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.25 ===
+* ApiHelp has been rewritten to support i18n and paginated HTML output.
+ Most existing modules should continue working without changes, but should do
+ the following:
+ * Add an i18n message "apihelp-{$moduleName}-description" to replace getDescription().
+ * Add i18n messages "apihelp-{$moduleName}-param-{$param}" for each parameter
+ to replace getParamDescription(). If necessary, the settings array returned
+ by getParams() can use the new ApiBase::PARAM_HELP_MSG key to override the
+ message.
+ * Implement getExamplesMessages() to replace getExamples().
+* Modules with submodules (like action=query) must have their submodules
+ override ApiBase::getParent() to return the correct parent object.
+* The 'APIGetDescription' and 'APIGetParamDescription' hooks are deprecated,
+ and will have no effect for modules using i18n messages. Use
+ 'APIGetDescriptionMessages' and 'APIGetParamDescriptionMessages' instead.
+* Api formatters will no longer be asked to display the help screen on errors.
+* ApiMain::getCredits() was removed. The credits are available in the
+ 'api-credits' i18n message.
+* ApiFormatBase has been changed to support i18n and syntax highlighting via
+ extensions with the new 'ApiFormatHighlight' hook. Core syntax highlighting
+ has been removed.
+* ApiFormatBase now always buffers. Output is done when
+ ApiFormatBase::closePrinter is called.
+* Much of the logic in ApiQueryRevisions has been split into ApiQueryRevisionsBase.
+* The 'revids' parameter supplied by ApiPageSet will now count deleted
+ revisions as "good" if the user has the 'deletedhistory' right. New methods
+ ApiPageSet::getLiveRevisionIDs() and ApiPageSet::getDeletedRevisionIDs() are
+ provided to access just the live or just the deleted revids.
+* Added ApiPageSet::setGeneratorData() and ApiPageSet::populateGeneratorData()
+ to allow generators to include data in the action=query result.
+* New hooks 'ApiMain::moduleManager' and 'ApiQuery::moduleManager', can be
+ used for conditional registration of API modules.
+* Added ApiBase::lacksSameOriginSecurity() to allow modules to easily check if
+ the current request was sent with the 'callback' parameter (or any future
+ method that breaks the same-origin policy).
+* Profiling methods in ApiBase are deprecated and no longer need to be called.
+* ApiResult was greatly overhauled. See inline documentation for details.
+* ApiResult will automatically convert objects to strings or arrays (depending
+ on whether a __toString() method exists on the object), and will refuse to
+ add unsupported value types.
+ * An informal interface, ApiSerializable, exists to override the default
+ object conversion.
+* ApiResult/ApiFormatBase "raw mode" is deprecated.
+* ApiFormatXml now assumes defaults and so on instead of throwing errors when
+ metadata isn't set.
+* (T35235) LogFormatter subclasses are now responsible for formatting log event
+ parameters for the API.
+* Many modules have changed result data formats. While this shouldn't affect
+ clients not using the experimental formatversion=2, code using
+ ApiResult::getResultData() without the transformations for backwards
+ compatibility may need updating, as will code that wasn't following the old
+ conventions for API boolean output.
+* The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+ release:
+ * ApiBase::getDescription
+ * ApiBase::getParamDescription
+ * ApiBase::getExamples
+ * ApiBase::makeHelpMsg
+ * ApiBase::makeHelpArrayToString
+ * ApiBase::makeHelpMsgParameters
+ * ApiBase::getModuleProfileName
+ * ApiBase::profileIn
+ * ApiBase::profileOut
+ * ApiBase::safeProfileOut
+ * ApiBase::getProfileTime
+ * ApiBase::profileDBIn
+ * ApiBase::profileDBOut
+ * ApiBase::getProfileDBTime
+ * ApiBase::getResultData
+ * ApiFormatBase::setUnescapeAmps
+ * ApiFormatBase::getWantsHelp
+ * ApiFormatBase::setHelp
+ * ApiFormatBase::formatHTML
+ * ApiFormatBase::setBufferResult
+ * ApiFormatBase::getDescription
+ * ApiFormatBase::getNeedsRawData
+ * ApiMain::setHelp
+ * ApiMain::reallyMakeHelpMsg
+ * ApiMain::makeHelpMsgHeader
+ * ApiResult::setRawMode
+ * ApiResult::getIsRawMode
+ * ApiResult::getData
+ * ApiResult::setElement
+ * ApiResult::setContent
+ * ApiResult::setIndexedTagName_recursive
+ * ApiResult::setIndexedTagName_internal
+ * ApiResult::setParsedLimit
+ * ApiResult::beginContinuation
+ * ApiResult::setContinueParam
+ * ApiResult::setGeneratorContinueParam
+ * ApiResult::endContinuation
+ * ApiResult::size
+ * ApiResult::convertStatusToArray
+ * ApiQueryImageInfo::getPropertyDescriptions
+ * ApiQueryLogEvents::addLogParams
+* The following classes have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+ release:
+ * ApiQueryDeletedrevs
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.25 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+
+* Languages added:
+** awa (अवधी / Awadhi), thanks to translator 1AnuraagPandey;
+** bgn (بلوچی رخشانی / Western Balochi), thanks to translators
+ Baloch Afghanistan, Ibrahim khashrowdi and Rachitrali;
+** ses (Koyraboro Senni), thanks to translator Songhay.
+* (T66440) Kazakh (kk) wikis should no longer forcefully reset the user's
+ interface language to kk where unexpected.
+* The Chinese conversion table was substantially updated to fix a lot of
+ bugs and ensure better reading experience for different variants.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.25 ===
+* (T45591) Links to MediaWiki.org translatable help were added to indicators,
+ mostly in special pages. Local custom target titles can be placed in the
+ relevant '(namespace-X|action name|special page name)-helppage' system
+ message. Extensions can use the addHelpLink() function to do the same.
+* The skin autodiscovery mechanism, deprecated in MediaWiki 1.23, has been
+ removed. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery for
+ migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
+* Javascript variables 'wgFileCanRotate' and 'wgFileExtensions' now only
+ available on Special:Upload.
+* (T58257) Set site logo from mediawiki.skinning.interface module instead of
+ inline styles in the HTML.
+* Removed ApiQueryUsers::getAutoGroups(). (deprecated since 1.20)
+* Removed XmlDumpWriter::schemaVersion(). (deprecated since 1.20)
+* Removed LogEventsList::getDisplayTitle(). (deprecated since 1.20)
+* Removed Preferences::trySetUserEmail(). (deprecated since 1.20)
+* Removed mw.user.name() and mw.user.anonymous() methods. (deprecated since 1.20)
+* Removed 'ok' and 'err' parameters in the mediawiki.api modules. (deprecated
+ since 1.20)
+* Removed 'async' parameter from the mw.Api#getCategories() method. (deprecated
+ since 1.20)
+* Removed 'jquery.json' module. (deprecated since 1.24)
+ Use the 'json' module and global JSON object instead.
+* Deprecated OutputPage::readOnlyPage() and OutputPage::rateLimited().
+ Also, the former will now throw an MWException if called with one or more
+ arguments.
+* Removed hitcounters and associated code.
+* The "temp" zone of the upload respository is now considered private. If it
+ already exists (such as under the images/ directory), please make sure that
+ the directory is not web readable (e.g. via a .htaccess file).
+* BREAKING CHANGE: In the XML dump format used by Special:Export and
+ dumpBackup.php, the <model> and <format> tags now apprear before the <text>
+ tag, instead of after the <text> and <sha1> tags.
+ The new schema version is 0.10, the new schema URI is:
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.10.xsd
+* MWFunction::call() and MWFunction::callArray() were removed, having being
+ deprecated in 1.22.
+* Deprecated the getInternalLinkAttributes, getInternalLinkAttributesObj,
+ and getInternalLinkAttributes methods in Linker, and removed
+ getExternalLinkAttributes method, which was deprecated in MediaWiki 1.18.
+* Removed Sites class, which was deprecated in 1.21 and replaced by SiteSQLStore.
+* Added wgRelevantArticleId to the client-side config, for use on special pages.
+* Deprecated the TitleIsCssOrJsPage hook. Superseded by the
+ ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
+* Deprecated the TitleIsWikitextPage hook. Superseded by the
+ ContentHandlerDefaultModelFor hook since MediaWiki 1.21.
+* Changed parsing of variables in schema (.sql) files:
+** The substituted values are no longer parsed. (Formerly, several passes
+ were made for each variable, so depending on the order in which variables
+ were defined, variables might have been found inside encoded values. This
+ is no longer the case.)
+** Variables are no longer string encoded when the /*$var*/ syntax is used.
+ If string encoding is necessary, use the '{$var}' syntax instead.
+** Variable names must only consist of one or more of the characters
+ "A-Za-z0-9_".
+** In source text of the form '{$A}'{$B}' or `{$A}`{$B}`, where variable A
+ does not exist yet variable B does, the latter may not be replaced.
+ However, this difference is unlikely to arise in practice.
+* (T67278) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" must be surrounded by non-word
+ characters on both sides.
+* The FormatAutocomments hook will now receive $pre and $post as booleans,
+ rather than as strings that must be prepended or appended to $comment.
+* (T30950, T31025) RFC, PMID, and ISBN "magic links" can no longer contain
+ newlines; but they can contain and other non-newline whitespace.
+* The 'mediawiki.action.edit' ResourceLoader module no longer generates the edit
+ toolbar, which has been moved to a separate 'mediawiki.toolbar' module. If you
+ relied on this behavior, update your scripts' dependencies.
+* HTMLForm's 'vform' display style has been separated to a subclass. Therefore:
+ * HTMLForm::isVForm() is now deprecated.
+ * You can no longer do this:
+ $form = new HTMLForm( … );
+ $form->setDisplayFormat( 'vform' ); // throws exception
+ Instead, do this:
+ $form = HTMLForm::factory( 'vform', … );
+* Deprecated Revision methods getRawUser(), getRawUserText() and getRawComment().
+* BREAKING CHANGE: mediawiki.user.generateRandomSessionId:
+ The alphabet of the prior string returned was A-Za-z0-9 and now it is 0-9A-F
+* (T87504) Avoid serving SVG background-images in CSS for Opera 12, which
+ renders them incorrectly when combined with border-radius or background-size.
+* Removed maintenance script dumpSisterSites.php.
+* DatabaseBase class constructors must be called using the array argument style.
+ Ideally, DatabaseBase:factory() should be used instead in most cases.
+* Deprecated ParserOutput::addSecondaryDataUpdate and ParserOutput::getSecondaryDataUpdates.
+ This is a hard deprecation, with getSecondaryDataUpdates returning an empty array and
+ addSecondaryDataUpdate throwing an exception. These functions will be removed in 1.26,
+ since they interfere with caching of ParserOutput objects.
+* Introduced new hook 'SecondaryDataUpdates' that allows extensions to inject custom updates.
+* Introduced new hook 'OpportunisticLinksUpdate' that allows extensions to perform
+ updates when a page is re-rendered.
+* EditPage::attemptSave has been modified not to call handleStatus itself and
+ instead just returns the Status object. Extension calling it should be aware of
+ this.
+* Removed class DBObject. (unused since 1.10)
+* wfDiff() is deprecated.
+* The -m (maximum replication lag) option of refreshLinks.php was removed.
+ It had no effect since MediaWiki 1.18 and should be removed from any cron
+ jobs or similar scripts you may have set up.
+* (T85864) The following messages no longer support raw html: redirectto,
+ thisisdeleted, viewdeleted, editlink, retrievedfrom, version-poweredby-others,
+ retrievedfrom, thisisdeleted, viewsourcelink, lastmodifiedat, laggedslavemode,
+ protect-summary-cascade
+* All BloomCache related code has been removed. This was largely experimental.
+* $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles no longer supports per-module local or remote paths. They
+ can only be set for the entire skin.
+* Removed global function swap(). (deprecated since 1.24)
+* Deprecated the ".php5" file extension entry points and the $wgScriptExtension
+ configuration variable. Refer to the ".php" files instead. If you want
+ ".php5" URLs to continue to work, set up redirects. In Apache, this can be
+ done by enabling mod_rewrite and adding the following rules to your
+ configuration:
+
+ RewriteEngine On
+ RewriteBase /
+ RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php5 $1.php [R=301,L]
+
+* The global importScriptURI and importStylesheetURI functions, as well as the
+ loadedScripts object, from wikibits.js (deprecated since 1.17) now emit
+ warnings through mw.log.warn when accessed.
+
+
+== Compatibility ==
+
+MediaWiki 1.25 requires PHP 5.3.3 or later. There is experimental support for
+HHVM 3.3.0.
+
+MySQL is the recommended DBMS. PostgreSQL or SQLite can also be used, but
+support for them is somewhat less mature. There is experimental support for
+Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
+
+The supported versions are:
+
+* MySQL 5.0.3 or later
+* PostgreSQL 8.3 or later
+* SQLite 3.3.7 or later
+* Oracle 9.0.1 or later
+* Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (9.00.1399)
+
+== Upgrading ==
+
+1.25 has several database changes since 1.24, and will not work without schema
+updates. Note that due to changes to some very large tables like the revision
+table, the schema update may take quite long (minutes on a medium sized site,
+many hours on a large site).
+
+If upgrading from before 1.11, and you are using a wiki as a commons
+repository, make sure that it is updated as well. Otherwise, errors may arise
+due to database schema changes.
+
+If upgrading from before 1.7, you may want to run refreshLinks.php to ensure
+new database fields are filled with data.
+
+If you are upgrading from MediaWiki 1.4.x or earlier, you should upgrade to
+1.5 first. The upgrade script maintenance/upgrade1_5.php has been removed
+with MediaWiki 1.21.
+
+Don't forget to always back up your database before upgrading!
+
+See the file UPGRADE for more detailed upgrade instructions.
+
+For notes on 1.24.x and older releases, see HISTORY.
+
+== MediaWiki 1.24 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.24 ===
+* MediaWiki will no longer run if register_globals is enabled. It has been
+ deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4. For more information
+ about why, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/register_globals>.
+* MediaWiki now requires PHP's iconv extension. openSUSE users may need to
+ install the php5-iconv package. Users of other systems may need to add
+ extension=iconv.so to php.ini or recompile PHP without --without-iconv.
+* MediaWiki will no longer function if magic quotes are enabled. It has
+ been deprecated for 5 years now, and was removed in PHP 5.4.
+* The server's canonical hostname is available as $wgServerName, which is
+ exposed in both mw.config and ApiQuerySiteInfo.
+* Introduced $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey as a backwards-compatibility switch,
+ for using the old schema of the page_props table, in case the respective
+ schema update was not applied.
+* $wgSearchEverythingOnlyLoggedIn was removed as the 'searcheverything'
+ user option was removed. Use $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault instead or
+ if you used to have $wgDefaultUserOptions['searcheverything'] = 1.
+* $wgMasterWaitTimeout has been deprecated.
+* $wgDBClusterTimeout has been removed.
+* $wgProxyKey has been removed. It is no longer used by MediaWiki core.
+ Ensure $wgSecretKey is set in LocalSettings.php.
+* $wgExtraInterlanguageLinkPrefixes is a new configuration variable that
+ contains an array of interwiki prefixes that should be treated as language
+ prefixes (i.e. turned into interlanguage links when $wgInterwikiMagic is set
+ to true).
+* $wgParserTestRemote has been removed.
+* $wgCountTotalSearchHits has been removed. If you're concerned about efficiency
+ of search, you should use something like CirrusSearch instead of built in
+ search.
+* Users in the 'sysop' group have access to Special:MergeHistory by default.
+* $wgFileStore was removed after having been deprecated in 1.17. Alternative
+ configurations are $wgDeletedDirectory and $wgHashedUploadDirectory.
+* The deprecated $wgUseCommaCount variable has been removed.
+* $wgEnableSorbs and $wgSorbsUrl have been removed.
+* The UserCryptPassword and UserComparePassword hooks are no longer called.
+ Any extensions using them must be updated to use the Password Hashing API.
+* $wgCompiledFiles has been removed.
+* $wgSortSpecialPages was removed, the listing on Special:SpecialPages is
+ now always sorted.
+* $wgSpecialPages may now use callback functions as an alternative to plain class names.
+ This allows more control over constructor parameters.
+* $wgHTCPMulticastAddress, $wgHTCPMulticastRouting and $wgHTCPPort were removed.
+* $wgRC2UDPAddress, $wgRC2UDPInterwikiPrefix, $wgRC2UDPOmitBots, $wgRC2UDPPort
+ and $wgRC2UDPPrefix have been removed.
+* The default password type for MediaWiki has been changed from MD5 to PBKDF2.
+ Password hashes will automatically be updated as users log in. If necessary, the
+ old MD5 hashing can be restored by changing $wgPasswordDefault to 'B'. In addition,
+ there is a maintenance script wrapOldPassword.php that can wrap all passwords in
+ PBKDF2 (or the hashing algorithm of your choice) if you don't want to wait for your
+ users to log in.
+* $wgImportSources can now either be a regular array, or an associative map
+ specifying subprojects on the interwiki map of the target wiki, or a mix of
+ the two. Existing configurations will still work.
+* Users must be able to edit through a page's protection to be able to delete it.
+* The default thumb size ($wgDefaultUserOptions['thumbsize']) is now 300px, up from
+ 180px. If you have altered the number of entries in $wgThumbLimits for your wiki, you
+ may need to adjust your default user settings to compensate for the index change.
+* $wgDeferredUpdateList is now deprecated, you should use DeferredUpdates::addUpdate()
+ instead.
+* $wgCanonicalLanguageLinks has been removed. Per Google recommendations, we
+ will not send a rel=canonical pointing to a variant-neutral page, however
+ we will send rel=alternate.
+* $wgResourceLoaderLESSFunctions has been deprecated and will be removed in the future.
+* $wgGoToEdit has been removed. Use the SpecialSearchNogomatch hook for similar
+ functionality.
+
+=== New features in 1.24 ===
+* Added new hook WatchlistEditorBeforeFormRender, allowing subscribers to
+ manipulate the list of pages and/or preload lots of data at once.
+* Added new argument &$link in hook WatchlistEditorBuildRemoveLine, allowing the
+ link to the title to be changed.
+* Added a new hook, "WhatLinksHereProps", to allow extensions to annotate
+ WhatLinksHere entries.
+* Added a new hook, "ContentGetParserOutput", to customize parser output for
+ a given content object.
+* Deprecated the hook "ShowRawCssJs", use "ContentGetParserOutput" instead.
+* HTMLForm's HTMLTextField now supports the 'url' type.
+* HTMLForm fields may now be dynamically hidden based on the values of other
+ fields in the form.
+* HTMLForm now supports multiple copies of an input field or set of input
+ fields, e.g. the form may request "one or more usernames" without having to
+ have the user enter delimited list of names into a text field.
+* Added a new hook, "SidebarBeforeOutput", to allow to edit the structure of
+ the sidebar just before its display.
+* (bug 49156) Added the mediawiki.cookie ResourceLoader module, which wraps
+ jquery.cookie so that getting/setting a cookie is syntactically and
+ functionally similar to using the WebRequest::getCookie() and
+ WebResponse::setcookie() methods.
+* (bug 44740) jQuery upgraded from 1.8.3 to 1.11.1. A new configuration option,
+ $wgIncludejQueryMigrate, also loads the jQuery Migrate hack to let extensions
+ and gadgets use the long-deprecated functions that were removed in jQuery 1.9.
+ This option is turned off by default, and will be removed in MediaWiki 1.25.
+* (bug 47076) jQuery UI upgraded from 1.8.24 to 1.9.2.
+* Changes to content typography (fonts, etc.). See
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
+* WikitextContent will now render redirects with the expected "redirect"
+ header, rather than as an ordered list. Code calling Article::viewRedirect
+ can probably be changed to no longer special-case redirects.
+* Header font set to a serif font stack. See
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
+* (bug 65567) Added a new hook, "BeforeHttpsRedirect", to allow cancellation of
+ the HTTP to HTTPS redirect due to forceHTTPS cookie, userRequires, etc. This
+ is only for page views, since this hook doesn't affect UserLogin, OAuth,
+ CentralAuth, etc. ATTENTION: This hook is likely to be removed soon due to
+ overall design of the system.
+* (bug 17367) It is now possible to add pages to your watchlist from
+ Special:UnwatchedPages without reloading the special page.
+* New methods setVolatile and isVolatile are added to PPFrame, so that
+ extensions such as Cite.php can mark that their output is volatile and
+ shouldn't be cached.
+* (bug 52817) Advanced search options are now saved on the search page itself,
+ rather than in a dedicated pane in the preferences panel.
+* (bug 44591) The dropdown actions menu (little triangle next to page tabs) in
+ the Vector skin has gained a label that should make it more discoverable.
+* MWCryptHKDF added for fast, cryptographically secure random number generation
+ that won't deplete openssl's entropy pool.
+* ResourceLoader: File modules can now provide a skip function that uses an
+ inline feature test to bypass loading of the module.
+* (bug 20210) Special pages may now provide autocompletion of their subpage
+ names in search suggestions. Right now the only useful implementation is in
+ Special:Log, but more are to come.
+* Special:MostLinkedTemplates is no longer limited to transclusions from the
+ Template namespace.
+* Skins can now use 'remoteSkinPath' when defining ResourceLoader modules.
+ This works the same as 'remoteExtPath' but is relative to the skins/ folder
+ instead of the extensions/ folder.
+* Added the json2.js polyfill for the ES5 JSON.stringify and JSON.parse methods.
+ Exposed as module "json" with a skip function to optimise loading.
+* Extensions and skins may now use 'namemsg' in $wgExtensionCredits in addition
+ to 'name', to allow for the name to be localizable. 'name' should still be
+ specified for backwards-compatibility and to define the path Special:Version
+ uses to find extension license information.
+* Browser tests are now included to verify basic wiki functionality in developer
+ environments. For details on running tests, see tests/browser/README.mediawiki.
+* Upgrade jStorage to v0.4.10.
+* {{!}} is now a magic word that produces the | character. This removes the need
+ for Template:! for purposes such as passing pipes inside of parameters.
+* (bug 20790) The block log snippet on Special:Contributions and while
+ editing user and user talk pages now works for IP range blocks.
+* (bug 9360) Added ability to change the page language for MediaWiki pages using
+ Special:PageLanguage. All pages are set to wiki language by default.
+ The feature needs to be enabled with $wgPageLanguageUseDB=true and
+ permission needs to be set for 'pagelang'.
+* Upgrade Moment.js to v2.8.3.
+* (bug 67042) Added support for the HTML5 <rtc> tag for East Asian typography.
+* Upgrade Sinon.JS to 1.10.3.
+* Added the es5-shim polyfill for older or non-compliant javascript engines.
+* Upgrade jQuery Cookie to v1.3.1.
+* (bug 20476) Add a "viewsuppressed" user right to be able to view
+ suppressed content but not suppress it ("suppressrevision" right).
+* (bug 66440) The MediaWiki web installer will now allow you to choose the skins
+ to enable (from the ones included in download tarball) and decide which one
+ should be the default.
+* (bug 68085, 68802) Links like [[localInterwikiPrefix:languageCode:pageTitle]],
+ where localInterwikiPrefix is a member of the $wgLocalInterwikis array, will
+ no longer be displayed in the sidebar when $wgInterwikiMagic is true. In a
+ similar way, links like [[localInterwikiPrefix:File:Image.png]] and
+ [[localInterwikiPrefix:Category:Hello]] will now render as regular links, and
+ will not include the file or add the page to the category.
+* New special page, MyLanguage, to redirect users to subpages with localised
+ versions of a page. (Integrated from Extension:Translate)
+* MediaWiki now supports multiple password types, including bcrypt and PBKDF2.
+ The default type can be changed with $wgPasswordDefault and the type
+ configurations can be changed with $wgPasswordConfig.
+* Skins can now define custom styles for default ResourceLoader modules using
+ the $wgResourceModuleSkinStyles global. See the Vector skin for examples.
+* (bug 4488) There is now a preference to watch pages where the user has
+ rollbacked an edit by default.
+* (bug 15484) Users will now be redirected to the login page when they need to
+ log in, rather than being shown a page asking them to log in and having to click
+ another link to actually get to the login page.
+* A JsonContent and JsonContentHandler were added for extensions to extend.
+* (bug 35045) Redirects to sections will now update the URL in browser's address
+ bar using the HTML5 History API. When [[Dog]] redirects to [[Animals#Dog]],
+ the user will now see "Animals#Dog" in their browser instead of "Dog#Dog".
+* API token handling has been rewritten. Any API module using tokens will need
+ to be updated. See the entry below under "Action API internal changes".
+* Added HTMLAutoCompleteSelectField.
+* Added a new hook, "SkinPreloadExistence", to allow extensions to add titles to
+ link existence cache before the page is rendered.
+* Config::set() was moved to its own interface, MutableConfig. GlobalVarConfig::set()
+ is now deprecated, does not implement MutableConfig.
+* A MutableConfig named HashConfig was added, that stores an array of configuration
+ settings.
+* (bug 69418) A MultiConfig implementation was added that supports fallback
+ to multiple Config instances.
+* Update CSSJanus to v1.1.0.
+* Added FormatJson::parse() returning status with result or localized error message
+* Added DeletedContribsPager::reallyDoQuery hook allowing extensions to data to
+ Special:DeletedContributions
+* Added DeletedContributionsLineEnding hook allowing extensions to format
+ Special:DeletedContributions lines
+* (T69525) You can now make MediaWiki speed up its thumbnail rendering by using
+ intermediary thumbnails. $wgThumbnailBuckets must be set to a list of target
+ thumbnail widths; when a new thumbnail needs to be rendered, MediaWiki will
+ find the smallest bucket smaller than the original but larger than the target
+ width + $wgThumbnailMinimumBucketDistance, and it will scale that thumbnail,
+ rather than the original, down to the target size at greater speed in return
+ for minor loss of fidelity.
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.24 ===
+* (bug 50572) MediaWiki:Blockip should support gender
+* (bug 49116) Footer copyright notice is now always displayed in user language
+ rather than content language (same as copyright notice for editing interface).
+* (bug 62258) A bug was fixed in File::getUnscaledThumb when a height
+ restriction was present in the parameters. Images with both the "frame"
+ option and a size specification set will now always ignore the provided
+ size and display an unscaled image, as the documentation has always
+ claimed it would.
+* (bug 39035) Improved Vector skin performance by removing collapsibleNav,
+ which used to collapse some sidebar elements by default.
+ This removes -list id suffixes like p-lang-list: instead of using things like
+ #p-lang-list, you can do #p-lang .body ul.
+* (bug 890) Links in Special:RecentChanges and Special:Watchlist no longer
+ follow redirects to their target pages.
+* Parser now dies early if called recursively, instead of producing subtle bugs.
+* (bug 14323) Redirect pages, when viewed with redirect=no, no longer hide the
+ remaining page content.
+* (bug 52587) Maintenance script deleteBatch.php no longer follows redirects
+ in the file namespace and delete the file on the target page. It will still
+ however delete the redirect page.
+* (bug 22683) {{msgnw:}} and other uses of PPFrame::RECOVER_ORIG will correctly
+ recover the original code of extension tags.
+* (bug 65757) MSSQL: Update script drops unnamed constraints to be prepared
+ for future updates. Because it's doing so heuristically, it may fail or drop
+ wrong constraints.
+* (bug 67870) wfShellExec() cuts off stdout at multiples of 8192 bytes.
+* $wgRunJobsAsync now works with private wikis (e.g. read requires login).
+* (bugs 57238, 65206) Blank pages can now be directly created.
+* (bug 69789) Title::getContentModel() now loads from the database when
+ necessary instead of incorrectly returning the default content model.
+* (bug 69249) wfBaseConvert() now works around PHP Bug #50175 when using GMP.
+* (bug 57909) URLs in the externallinks table will no longer have certain
+ characters decoded in the query string.
+* (bug 67368) LESS mixins like .background-image() correctly flip image
+ references for RTL stylesheets now.
+
+=== Action API changes in 1.24 ===
+* action=parse API now supports prop=modules, which provides the list of
+ ResourceLoader modules that should be used to enhance the parsed content.
+* action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap returns a new "protorel"
+ field which is true if protocol-relative urls can be used to access
+ a particular interwiki map entry.
+* list=logevents now provides logpage, which is the page ID from the
+ logging table, if ids are requested and the user has the permissions.
+* action=edit now requires that appendtext, prependtext, or section=new be used
+ when using the 'redirect' parameter, to prevent clients accidentally
+ overwriting the target page with the content of the redirect.
+* list=logevents will now return an error if both letitle and leprefix are
+ specified.
+* list=logevents has a new parameter, lenamespace, to allow filtering by
+ namespace.
+* action=expandtemplates has a new parameter, prop, and a new output format.
+ The old format is still used if prop isn't provided, but this is deprecated.
+* meta=userinfo can now return the count of unread pages on the watchlist.
+* list=watchlist can now filter by unread status.
+* The deprecated action=parse&prop=languageshtml has been removed.
+* (bug 48071) action=setnotificationtimestamp no longer throws PHP or database
+ errors when no pages are given.
+* (bug 60734) Actions that use ApiPageSet (e.g. purge, watch,
+ setnotificationtimestamp) will now include continuation information when
+ using a generator.
+* Removed 'props' and 'errors' from action=paraminfo, as they have extremely
+ limited use and are generally inaccurate, unmaintained, and impossible to
+ properly maintain.
+* Formats dbg, dump, txt, wddx, and yaml are now deprecated.
+* action=paraminfo now indicates when a parameter is specifying a submodule.
+* The iwurl parameter to prop=iwlinks is deprecated in favor of iwprop=url, for
+ parallelism with prop=langlinks.
+* All tokens should be fetched from action=query&meta=tokens; all other methods
+ of fetching tokens are deprecated. The value needed for meta=tokens's 'type'
+ parameter for each module is documented in the action=help output and is
+ returned from action=paraminfo.
+* New action ClearHasMsg that can be used to clear HasMsg flag.
+* The cmstartsortkey and cmendsortkey parameters to list=categorymembers are
+ deprecated in favor of cmstarthexsortkey and cmendhexsortkey.
+* (bug 63326) Add blockedtimestamp field to output of blockinfo property for
+ the list=allusers and list=users modules.
+* prop=imageinfo no longer requires iiurlwidth to be set when using iiurlparam.
+* Added prop=linkshere, prop=fileusage, and prop=transcludedin, which are
+ roughly equivalent to list=backlinks, list=imageusage, and list=embeddedin
+ but can work on a list of titles (including titles from a generator).
+* prop=redirects can now filter returned redirects by namespace.
+
+=== Action API internal changes in 1.24 ===
+* Methods for handling continuation are added to ApiResult, so actions other
+ than query that use generators can easily support continuation.
+* $wgAPIModules (and the related $wgAPIFormatModules, $wgAPIMetaModules,
+ $wgAPIPropModules, and $wgAPIListModules settings) now allow API modules
+ to be specified using a "module spec" array instead of a plain class name.
+ A "module spec" is an associative array containing at least the 'class' key
+ for the module's class, and optionally a 'factory' key for the factory function
+ to use for the module. This is intended for extensions that want control over
+ the instantiation of their API modules, to allow for proper dependency
+ injection.
+* A new param type 'submodule' is available. Parameters of this type will take
+ the list of valid values from the module's ApiModuleManager for the group
+ corresponding to the parameter name.
+* The 'APIGetPossibleErrors' and 'APIGetResultProperties' hooks are no longer used.
+* API token handling has been rewritten. Any API module using tokens will need
+ to be updated:
+ * ApiBase::needsToken now returns a token type instead of boolean true when a
+ token is needed. Returning true will throw an exception. See documentation
+ of that method for details.
+ * Information for the 'token' parameter is automatically set by ApiBase
+ getFinalParams and getFinalParamDescription.
+ * ApiBase::getTokenSalt has been removed.
+ * The hooks APIQueryInfoTokens, APIQueryRevisionsTokens,
+ APIQueryRecentChangesTokens, APIQueryUsersTokens, and
+ ApiTokensGetTokenTypes are deprecated, but are still called to support
+ backwards-compatible token access.
+* ApiBase::validateLimit and ApiBase::validateTimestamp are now protected.
+* ApiQueryRedirects was removed; prop=redirects is now implemented by
+ ApiQueryBacklinksProp along with the newly-added prop modules.
+* The following methods have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+ release:
+ * ApiBase::getResultProperties
+ * ApiBase::getFinalResultProperties
+ * ApiBase::addTokenProperties
+ * ApiBase::getRequireOnlyOneParameterErrorMessages
+ * ApiBase::getRequireMaxOneParameterErrorMessages
+ * ApiBase::getRequireAtLeastOneParameterErrorMessages
+ * ApiBase::getTitleOrPageIdErrorMessage
+ * ApiBase::getPossibleErrors
+ * ApiBase::getFinalPossibleErrors
+ * ApiBase::parseErrors
+ * ApiQuery::setGeneratorContinue
+ * ApiQueryBase::checkRowCount
+ * ApiQueryBase::titleToKey
+ * ApiQueryBase::keyToTitle
+ * ApiQueryBase::keyPartToTitle
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryInfo::resetTokenCache
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getEditToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getDeleteToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getProtectToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getMoveToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getBlockToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getUnblockToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getEmailToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getImportToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getWatchToken
+ * ApiQueryInfo::getOptionsToken
+ * ApiQueryRecentChanges::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryRecentChanges::getPatrolToken
+ * ApiQueryRevisions::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryRevisions::getRollbackToken
+ * ApiQueryUsers::getTokenFunctions
+ * ApiQueryUsers::getUserrightsToken
+* The following classes have been deprecated and may be removed in a future
+ release:
+ * ApiFormatDbg
+ * ApiFormatDump
+ * ApiFormatTxt
+ * ApiFormatWddx
+ * ApiFormatYaml
+ * ApiTokens
+* The following class constants have been deprecated and may be removed in a
+ future release:
+ * ApiBase::PROP_ROOT
+ * ApiBase::PROP_LIST
+ * ApiBase::PROP_TYPE
+ * ApiBase::PROP_NULLABLE
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.24 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+
+=== Other changes in 1.24 ===
+* The deprecated jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was removed.
+* The deprecated function mw.util.toggleToc was removed.
+* The Special:Search hooks SpecialSearchGo and SpecialSearchResultsAppend
+ were removed as they were unused.
+* (bug 65477) User::pingLimiter() now has an additional profile point varying
+ by action being used.
+* mediawiki.util.$content no longer supports old versions of the Vector,
+ Monobook, Modern and CologneBlue skins that don't yet implement the "mw-body"
+ and/or "mw-body-primary" class name in their html.
+* Added pp_sortkey column to page_props table, so pages can be efficiently
+ queried and sorted by property value (bug 58032).
+ See $wgPagePropsHaveSortkey if you want to postpone the schema change.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: All four built-in MediaWiki skins (Vector, MonoBook, Modern
+ and Cologne Blue) were moved out of MediaWiki core to their own respective
+ repositories. They will be installed with the release tarball, but you must
+ install them separately if installing MediaWiki from source code. A warning
+ message displayed until you do it should guide you through the process. See
+ also <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration>.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Skins built for MediaWiki 1.15 and earlier that do not use
+ the "headelement" template key are no longer supported. Setting
+ $useHeadElement = false; is no longer supported and will not cause old keys
+ like "headlinks", "skinnameclass", etc. to be defined.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: The files commonElements.css, commonContent.css and
+ commonInterface.css (in skins/common/) have been removed. Skins may no longer
+ rely on their presence and include them in their style modules. ResourceLoader
+ modules introduced in MediaWiki 1.23 should be loaded instead:
+ - skins/common/commonElements.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.elements' module
+ - skins/common/commonContent.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.content' module
+ - skins/common/commonInterface.css → 'mediawiki.skinning.interface' module
+* The deprecated 'SpecialVersionExtensionTypes' hook was removed.
+* (bug 63891) Add 'X-Robots-Tag: noindex' header in action=render pages.
+* SpecialPage no longer supports the syntax for invoking wfSpecial*() functions.
+ Special pages should subclass SpecialPage and implement the execute() method.
+* (bug 63755) The deprecated constants RC_MOVE and RC_MOVE_OVER_REDIRECT were
+ removed.
+* Special:MostLinkedTemplates has been renamed to Special:MostTranscludedPages.
+* The skin autodiscovery mechanism has been deprecated and will be removed in
+ MediaWiki 1.25. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery
+ for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.
+* ResourceLoaderFileModule#getAllStyleFiles now returns all style files and all
+ skin style files used by the module.
+* Removed getLang() from IContextSource and subclasses. (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed setLang() from subclasses of IContextSource. (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed WebRequest::escapeAppendQuery(). (deprecated since 1.20)
+* Removed info(), purge(), revert() and rollback() from the Article class; they
+ have since become subclasses of the Action class. (deprecated since 1.19)
+* SearchEngineReplacePrefixesComplete hook was removed.
+* The "jquery.json" module has been deprecated. Use the "json" module instead.
+* Removed HTMLForm::addJS(). (deprecated since 1.18)
+* Removed LogEventsList::showHeader(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed ImageGalleryBase::useSkin(). (deprecated since 1.18)
+* Removed DatabaseMysqlBase::getLagFromProcesslist(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed LoadBalancer::closeConnecton(). (deprecated since 1.18)
+* Removed ApiBase::createContext(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* BREAKING CHANGE: The undocumented Special{$this->getName()}BeforeFormDisplay
+ set of hooks has been removed and replaced by a single new hook
+ SpecialPageBeforeFormDisplay.
+* (bug 65781) Removed block warning on included {{Special:Contributions}}
+* Removed Skin::makeGlobalVariablesScript(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed MWNamespace::isMain(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed Preferences::loadOldSearchNs(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed OutputPage::getStatusMessage(). (deprecated since 1.18)
+* Removed OutputPage::isUserJsAllowed(). (deprecated since 1.18)
+* Removed Title::updateTitleProtection(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed ParserOptions::setSkin(). (deprecated since 1.19)

+* Removed User::isValidEmailAddr(). (deprecated since 1.18)
+* Removed Title::getEscapedText(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed Language::getFallbackLanguageCode(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed WikiPage::isBigDeletion(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed MWInit class which contained functions related to a now discontinued
+ PHP compiler called hphpc. (deprecated since 1.22)
+* ApiResult::enableSizeCheck() and disableSizeCheck() are now obsolete.
+* Removed ResourceLoaderGetStartupModules hook. (deprecated since 1.23)
+* Removed getFormFields(), onSubmit() and onSuccess() from FormlessAction, as
+ these were meant specifically for FormAction instead.
+* Removed Action::execute().
+* Removed AjaxAddScript which has been obsolete since ResourceLoader and
+ is unused by any modern extension.
+* Removed maintenance/nextJobDB.php; no longer in use.
+* Removed global function wfViewPrevNext(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed global function xmlsafe() from Export.php. (moved to OAIRepo extension)
+* Removed Title::userCanRead(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed maintenance script importTextFile.php. Use edit.php script instead.
+* A _from_namespace field has been added to the templatelinks, pagelinks,
+ and filelinks tables. Run update.php to apply this change to the schema.
+* Removed File::sha1Base36(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed File::getPropsFromPath(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed functions blockedPage(), noCreatePermission(), readOnlyPage() and
+ userNotLoggedInPage() from EditPage.php. (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed functions getContent(), getPreloadedText(), mergeChangesInto() and
+ setPreloadedText() from EditPage.php. (deprecated since 1.21)
+* Removed global functions wfArrayLookup(), wfArrayMerge(), wfDebugDieBacktrace()
+ and wfTime(). (deprecated since 1.22)
+* Browser support for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 lowered from Grade A to Grade C,
+ meaning that JavaScript is no longer executed in these browser versions.
+* Browser support for Opera 11 lowered from Grade A to Grade C.
+* Removed IEFixes module which existed purely to provide support for MSIE versions
+ below 7 (conditionally loaded only for those browsers).
+* Deprecated SpecialPageFactory::getList() in favor of
+ SpecialPageFactory::getNames()
+* Action::checkCanExecute() no longer has a return value.
+* Removed cleanupForIRC(), loadFromCurRow(), newFromCurRow(), notifyRC2UDP()
+ and sendToUDP() from RecentChange.php. (deprecated since 1.22)
+* Removed EnhancedChangesList::arrow(), sideArrow(), downArrow(), spacerArrow().
+* Removed Xml::namespaceSelector(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* Removed WikiPage::estimateRevisionCount(). (deprecated since 1.19)
+* MYSQL: Enum item added to "major MIME type" columns.
+ Running update.php on MySQL < v5.1 may result in heavy processing.
+* RSS and Atom feeds generated by MediaWiki no longer include a fallback
+ stylesheet. It was ignored by most browsers these days anyway.
+* SpecialSearchNoResults hook has been removed. SpecialSearchResults is now
+ called unconditionally.
+* TablePager::getBody() is now 'final' and can't be overridden in subclasses.
+* TablePager::getBody() is deprecated, use getBodyOutput() or getFullOutput().
+* Added $outputPage parameter to the SkinTemplateGetLanguageLink hook.
+* log_page for move log entries store the original page ID, rather than that
+ of the new redirect page. This is not retroactive.
+* LCStoreAccel was removed. $wgLocalisationCacheConf can no longer be set to
+ use this store class.
+* Html::infoBox() no longer accepts paths relative to skins/common/images/.
+* Deprecated defunct Skin::getCommonStylePath().
+* Some extensions had their ResourceLoader modules depend on the "mediawiki"
+ and "jquery" modules. In the past, this behavior was undefined, now it will
+ throw an error.
+* Removed BagOStuff::replace(). (deprecated since 1.23)
+* In Linker.php, link(), linkText() and makeBrokenImageLinkObj() now display
+ warnings if their first parameter is not a Title object. Also makeImageLink()
+ now requires a Parser as its first parameter.
+* (bug 67368) LESS functions embed() and embeddable(), added in MediaWiki 1.23
+ and broken by design, have been removed. Use appropriate LESS mixins instead.
+* Removed cssjanus.py from maintenance directory as it was unused.
+* Removed maintenance/purgeOldText.inc and the PurgeRedundantText() function
+ it contained (superseded by Maintenance::purgeRedundantText() in 1.16).
+ The purgeOldText.php maintenance script has been retained.
+* PHPUnit tests can be found by directory discovery, by adding the directory
+ path from your UnitTestsList callback. Older versions of MediaWiki core will
+ barf at this usage.

+
+== MediaWiki 1.23 ==
+
+=== Configuration changes in 1.23 ===
+* (bug 13250) Restored method for clearing a watchlist in web UI
+ so that users with large watchlists don't have to perform
+ contortions to clear them.
+* When $wgJobRunRate is higher than zero, jobs are now executed via an
+ asynchronous HTTP request to a MediaWiki entry point. This may require
+ increasing the number of server worker threads. $wgRunJobsAsync has been
+ added to disable this feature if needed, falling back to executing the job
+ on the same process but making the execution synchronously.
+* $wgDebugLogGroups values may be set to an associative array with a
+ 'destination' key specifying the log destination. The array may also contain
+ a 'sample' key with a positive integer value N indicating that the log group
+ should be sampled by dispatching one in every N messages on average. The
+ sampling is random.
+* In addition to the current exception log format, MediaWiki now serializes
+ exception metadata to JSON and logs it to the 'exception-json' log group.
+ This makes MediaWiki easier to integrate with log aggregation and analysis
+ tools.
+* $wgSquidServersNoPurge now supports the use of Classless Inter-Domain
+ Routing (CIDR) notation to specify contiguous blocks of IPv4 and/or IPv6
+ addresses that should be trusted to provide X-Forwarded-For headers.
+* Preferences 'watchcreations', 'watchdefault', 'enotifwatchlistpages' ("Add
+ pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist", "Add pages and files I
+ edit to my watchlist", "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is
+ changed") are now enabled by default. In addition new user accounts' personal
+ and talk pages are now watched by them by default.
+* $wgLBFactoryConf: Class names have had underscores removed. The configuration
+ should be updated if LBFactory_Simple or LBFactory_Multi is configured.
+* $wgPasswordSenderName has been removed and is no longer functional. To set a
+ custom mailer name, the system message 'emailsender' should be modified
+ (default: "{{SITENAME}}").
+* (bug 63269) Email notifications were not correctly handling the
+ [[MediaWiki:Helppage]] message being set to a full URL (the default).
+ If you customized [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] (the text of email notifications),
+ you'll need to edit it locally to include the URL via the new variable
+ $HELPPAGE instead of the parser functions fullurl and canonicalurl; otherwise
+ you don't have to do anything.
+* $wgDBAhandler was removed as the only class using it was also removed
+* The 'max threads' setting was removed from $wgDBservers.
+* Support for AdminSettings.php has been completely removed. All configuration
+ belongs in LocalSettings.php.
+* $wgSkipSkin, which has been replaceable by $wgSkipSkins since 2005 (r9249), is
+ now formally deprecated.
+* Removed deprecated $wgDisabledActions as it is hardly used anywhere.
+* $wgRateLimitLog has been deprecated and replaced by
+ $wgDebugLogGroup['ratelimit'].
+* $wgLocalInterwikis is an array containing multiple local interwiki prefixes
+ (interwiki prefixes that point back to the current wiki). This effectively
+ allows more than one value of $wgLocalInterwiki to be specified and
+ understood by the parser. The value of $wgLocalInterwiki is automatically
+ prepended to the start of this array.
+* $wgQueryPages has been removed. Query Pages should be added to by using the
+ wgQueryPages hook.
+* $wgHttpOnlyBlacklist has been removed.
+* $wgLicenseTerms has been removed as it was unused.
+* $wgProfileOnly is now deprecated; set the log file in
+ $wgDebugLogGroups['profileoutput'] to replace it.
+* $wgMaxBacklinksInvalidate was removed; use $wgJobBackoffThrottling instead
+* Deprecated ResourceLoaderGetStartupModules hook.
+
+=== New features in 1.23 ===
+* ResourceLoader can utilize the Web Storage API to cache modules client-side.
+ Compared to the browser cache, caching in Web Storage allows ResourceLoader
+ to be more granular about evicting stale modules from the cache while
+ retaining the ability to retrieve multiple modules in a single HTTP request.
+ This capability can be enabled by setting $wgResourceLoaderStorageEnabled to
+ true. This feature is currently considered experimental and should only be
+ enabled with care.
+* (bug 6092) Add expensive parser functions {{REVISIONID:}}, {{REVISIONUSER:}}
+ and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:}} (with friends).
+* Add "wgRelevantUserName" to mw.config containing the current
+ Skin::getRelevantUser value.
+* (bug 56033) Add content model to the page information.
+* Added Article::MissingArticleConditions hook to give extensions a chance to
+ hide their (unrelated) log entries.
+* Added LonelyPagesQuery hook to let extensions modify the query used to
+ generate Special:LonelyPages.
+* Added $wgOpenSearchDefaultLimit defining the default number of entries to show
+ on action=opensearch API call.
+* For namespaces with $wgNamespaceProtection (including the MediaWiki
+ namespace), the "protect" tab will be shown only if there are restriction
+ levels available that would restrict editing beyond what
+ $wgNamespaceProtection already applies. The protection form will offer only
+ those protection levels.
+* Added $wgAPIFormatModules, allowing extensions to add additional output
+ formatting modules for the API.
+* (bug 47812) The MediaWiki:Group-user.{css,js} pages can now be used to add
+ custom CSS or JavaScript enabled only for registered users.
+* (bug 52005) Special pages RecentChanges, RecentChangesLinked and Watchlist
+ now include a legend describing the symbols used in lists of changes.
+* Improved the accessibility of the tabs in Special:Preferences.
+* Added ApiBeforeMain hook, roughly equivalent to the BeforeInitialize hook:
+ it's called after everything is set up but before any major processing
+ happens.
+* The jquery.client module now performs a component-wise version comparison in
+ its #test method when strings are used in the browser map: version '1.10' is
+ now correctly considered larger than '1.2'. Using numbers in the version map
+ is not affected.
+* All API modules now support an assert parameter, which can either be
+ 'user' or 'bot'. The API will throw an error if the user is not logged
+ in (user) or does not have the 'bot' userright (bot). Based off of the
+ AssertEdit extension by Steve Sanbeg.
+* [[Special:Diff]] was added, allowing users to create internal links to
+ revision comparison pages using syntax such as [[Special:Diff/12345]],
+ [[Special:Diff/12345/prev]] or [[Special:Diff/12345/98765]].
+* New user accounts' personal and talk pages are now watched by them by default.
+* Added SkinTemplateGetLanguageLink hook to allow changing the html of language
+ links.
+* Added MessageCache::get hook as a new way to customize messages across
+ multiple sites.
+* Added jquery.throttle-debounce ResourceLoader module to limit the number of
+ callbacks for frequently occurring events.
+* Special:ProtectedPages shows now a table. The timestamp, the reason and
+ the protecting user are also shown.
+* Added experimental support for using Microsoft SQL Server as the database
+ backend.
+** Added new Microsoft SQL Server-specific configuration variable
+ $wgDBWindowsAuthentication, which makes the web server authenticate against
+ the database server using Integrated Windows Authentication instead of
+ $wgDBuser/$wgDBpassword.
+* HTMLForm 'select', 'selectandother', 'selectorother', 'multiselect', and
+ 'radio' fields can now use message keys as labels via the 'options-messages'
+ parameter, which overrides the 'options' parameter.
+* Admins can expire users passwords manually, or on a schedule using the
+ $wgPasswordExpirationDays configuration setting.
+* Add new hook SendWatchlistEmailNotification, this will be used to determine
+ whether to send a watchlist email notification.
+* (bug 42026) Special:Contributions now includes an option to filter page
+ creations, similar to the topOnly option.
+* Add mediawiki.ui.button styling to all pages so wiki content can use styled
+ buttons.
+* Special:UserLogin/signup now does AJAX checks for invalid and taken usernames,
+ displaying the error live.
+* Added BaseTemplateAfterPortlet hook to allow injecting html after portlets in skins.
+* Support has been added for a JSON based localisation file format. The
+ installer has been updated to use it.
+* Changes to content typography (colors, line-height etc.). See
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh for further information.
+* The Vector skin's visual treatment of external links has been simplified to a
+ single icon (from nine). This should not affect local rules unless they were
+ re-using these icons, which have now been deleted.
+* ResourceLoader: mw.loader.using() now implements a Promise interface.
+* Add new hook ChangesListInitRows accessed via ChangesList::initChangesListRows.
+ If called by the ChangesList consumer this gives extensions a chance to batch
+ process the result set prior to rendering.
+* A PoolCounterRedis class was added which can be make use of in $wgPoolCounterConf.
+ This requires at least one Redis 2.6+ server.
+* $wgProfileToDatabase was removed. Set $wgProfiler to ProfilerSimpleDB
+ in StartProfiler.php instead of using this.
+* (bug 63444) Made it possible to change the indent string (default: 4 spaces)
+ used by FormatJson::encode().
+
+=== Bug fixes in 1.23 ===
+* (bug 41759) The "updated since last visit" markers (on history pages, recent
+ changes and watchlist) and the talk page message indicator are now correctly
+ updated when the user is viewing old revisions of pages, instead of always
+ acting as if the latest revision was being viewed.
+* (bug 56443) Special:ConfirmEmail no longer shows a "Mail a confirmation code"
+ when the email address is already confirmed. Also, consistently use
+ "confirmed", rather than "authenticated", when messaging whether or not the
+ user has confirmed an email address.
+* (bug 19415) action=render no longer shows section edit links. This affects
+ behavior of several other features where (bogus) section edit links will
+ disappear, such as file description pages loaded via $wgUseInstantCommons or
+ pages transcluded cross-wiki via $wgEnableScaryTranscluding.
+* (bug 56912) Show correct link color on cached result of Special:DeadendPages.
+* Classes TitleListDependency and TitleDependency have been removed, as they
+ have been found unused in core and extensions for a long time.
+* (bug 57098) SpecialPasswordReset now obeys returnto parameter
+* (bug 37812) ResourceLoader will notice when a module's definition changes and
+ recompile it accordingly.
+* (bug 57201) SpecialRecentChangesFilters hook is now executed for feeds.
+* (bug 58640) Fixed a compatibility issue with PCRE 8.34 that caused pages
+ to appear blank or with missing text.
+* (bug 56931) Updated the plural rules to CLDR 24. They are in new format
+ which is detailed in UTS 35 Rev 33. The PHP parser and evaluator as well as
+ the JavaScript evaluator were updated to support the new format. Plural rules
+ for some languages have changed, most notably Russian. Affected software
+ messages have been updated and marked for review at translatewiki.net.
+* (bug 23542) imagelinks now stores both the redirect and target (as
+ templatelinks does).
+* (bug 58167) The web installer no longer throws an exception when PHP is
+ compiled without support for MySQL yet with support for another DBMS.
+* (bug 56199) Raw option of parser functions must now match complete word,
+ to take effect.
+* (bug 60543) Special:PrefixIndex forgot stripprefix=1 for "Next page" link
+* (bug 29762) Undoing an already-undone edit will now display an appropriate
+ message instead of leading the user to make a null edit.
+* (bug 52659) mediawiki.notification: Notification area remained visible when
+ empty and thus was stealing pointer events from links on the page.
+* (bug 26811) When a DBUnexpectedError occurs, DB server hostnames are now
+ hidden unless $wgShowExceptionDetails is true, and $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace
+ no longer applies in such cases.
+* (bug 60960) Avoid doing file_exist() checks on data: URIs, as they cause
+ warnings to be printed on Windows due to large path length.
+* (bug 48084) Fixed a bug in the installer that could cause $wgLogo to hold
+ the wrong path to the placeholder logo (skins/common/images/wiki.png).
+* (bug 64289) jquery.textSelection: Don't throw errors on empty collections.
+
+=== Web API changes in 1.23 ===
+* (bug 54884) action=parse&prop=categories now indicates hidden and missing
+ categories.
+* action=query&meta=filerepoinfo now returns additional information for each
+ repo.
+* action=parse&prop=languageshtml was deprecated in 1.18 and will be removed in
+ MediaWiki 1.24.
+* action=parse now has disabletoc flag to disable table of contents in output.
+* (bug 25702) list=allcategories, list=allimages, list=alllinks, list=allpages,
+ list=deletedrevs and list=filearchive did not handle case-sensitivity
+ properly for all parameters.
+* ApiQueryBase::titlePartToKey allows an extra parameter that indicates the
+ namespace in order to properly capitalize the title part.
+* (bug 57874) action=feedcontributions no longer has one item more than limit.
+* All API modules now support an assert parameter. See the new features section
+ for more details.
+* Added prop=contributors to fetch the list of contributors to the page.
+* The following API modules will now return entries where fields have been
+ revision-deleted: list=deletedrevs, list=filearchive, list=recentchanges,
+ list=watchlist. "hidden" indicators will be included, in the same style as is
+ already done for prop=revisions.
+* The following API modules will now return the content of revision-deleted
+ fields, in addition to the "hidden" indicators, if the querying user has the
+ necessary rights: list=logevents, list=usercontribs, prop=imageinfo,
+ prop=revisions.
+* The above modules, where applicable, will now return entries filtered by
+ revision-deleted fields if the querying user has the necessary rights. For
+ example, prop=revisions with rvuser or rvexcludeuser will no longer skip
+ revisions where the user was revision-deleted if the current user has the
+ deletedhistory right.
+* The 'hideuser' right, used when blocking, is no longer necessary or
+ sufficient for seeing contributions with revision-deleted in
+ list=usercontribs.
+* list=watchlist now uses the querying user's rights rather than the wlowner's
+ rights when checking whether wlprop=patrol is allowed.
+* (bug 32151) ApiWatch now has pageset capabilities (titles/pageids/generators).
+ Title parameter is now deprecated.
+* (bug 23005) Added action=revisiondelete.
+* Added siprop=restrictions to API action=query&meta=siteinfo for querying
+ possible page restriction (protection) levels and types.
+* Added prop 'limitreportdata' and 'limitreporthtml' to action=parse.
+* (bug 58627) Provide language names on action=parse&prop=langlinks.
+* Deprecated llurl= in favour of llprop=url for action=query&prop=langlinks.
+* Added llprop=langname and llprop=autonym for action=query&prop=langlinks.
+* prop=redirects is added, to return redirects to the pages in the query.
+* list=allredirects is added, to list all redirects pointing to a namespace.
+* (bug 42026) Added ucshow={new,!new,top,!top} to list=usercontribs.
+ Also added newonly to action=feedcontributions.
+* (bug 42026) Deprecated uctoponly in favor of ucshow=top.
+* list=search no longer has a "srredirects" parameter. Redirects are now

+ a generator.
+* (bug 24782) Various modules will now use unique continuation parameters.
+* (bug 63249) Cache RecentChanges Atom feed in varnish for 15 seconds.
+
+=== Languages updated in 1.23 ===
+
+MediaWiki supports over 350 languages. Many localisations are updated
+regularly. Below only new and removed languages are listed, as well as
+changes to languages because of Bugzilla reports.
+
+* Support was added for Algerian Spoken Arabic (arq).
+* Support was added for Riograndenser Hunsrückisch (hrx).
+* Support was added for Northern Luri (lrc).
+
+=== Other changes in 1.23 ===
+* The rc_type field in the recentchanges table has been superseded by a new
+ rc_source field. The rc_source field is a string representation of the
+ change type where rc_type was a numeric constant. This field is not yet
+ queried but will be in a future release.
+** Utilize update.php to create and populate this new field. On larger wikis
+ which do not wish to update recentchanges table in one large update please
+ review the SQL and comments in maintenance/archives/patch-rc_source.sql.
+** The rc_type field of recentchanges will be deprecated in a future release.
+* The global variable $wgArticle has been removed after a lengthy deprecation.
+* The global functions addButton and insertTags (for mw.toolbar.addButton and
+ mw.toolbar.insertTags) now emits mw.log.warn when accessed.
+* The ExpandTemplates extension has been moved into MediaWiki core.
+* (bug 52812) Removed "Disable search suggestions" from Preference.
+* (bug 52809) Removed "Disable browser page caching" from Preference.
+* Three new modules intended for use by custom skins were added:
+ 'mediawiki.skinning.elements', 'mediawiki.skinning.content', and
+ 'mediawiki.skinning.interface', representing three levels of standard
+ MediaWiki styling. Previously skin creators wishing to use them had to refer
+ to the file names of appropriate files directly, which is now discouraged.
+* The modules 'skins.vector' and 'skins.monobook' have been renamed to
+ 'skins.vector.styles' and 'skins.monobook.styles', respectively,
+ and their definition was changed not to include the common*.css files;
+ the two skins now load the 'mediawiki.skinning.interface' module instead.
+* A page_links_updated field has been added to the page table.
+* SpecialPage::getTitle has been deprecated in favor of
+ SpecialPage::getPageTitle.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: Two potentially backwards-incompatible changes have been made
+ to the 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' hook's last parameter (array $values) to make
+ the hook more consistent with the 'SpecialRecentChangesQuery' one:
+** Several array keys have been renamed: hideMinor → hideminor,
+ hideBots → hidebots, hideAnons → hideanons, hideLiu → hideliu,
+ hidePatrolled → hidepatrolled, hideOwn → hidemyself.
+** The parameter value is now a FormOptions object, not a plain array (array
+ access operators should continue to work, as it implements the ArrayAccess
+ interface).
+* Option to mark hooks as deprecated has been added.
+* (bug 52811) Preference "Enable section editing via [edit] links" was removed.
+* (bug 52813) Preference "Show table of contents (for pages with more than
+ 3 headings)" was removed.
+* (bug 52810) Preference "Justify paragraphs" was removed.
+* OutputPage::showErrorPage raises a notice if arguments are incoherent.
+* Thumbnails that keep failing to render in thumb.php will be rate-limited
+ against further render attempts for 1 hour. $wgAttemptFailureEpoch can be
+ altered to reset all rate-limited thumbnails at once.
+* (bug 56572) Builds of the OOjs and OOjs UI libraries are now available.
+* mw.loader.go and mw.loader.version have been removed.
+* (bug 52815) Preference "Enable simplified search bar (Vector skin only)"
+ was removed.
+* A user_password_expires column has been added to the user table. The User
+ object expects this column to exist. Use update.php to create this new field.
+* The jquery.delayedBind ResourceLoader module was deprecated in favor of the
+ jquery.throttle-debounce module. It will be removed in MediaWiki 1.24.
+* mw.user.bucket has been deprecated.
+* On Special:PrefixIndex, a table#mw-prefixindex-list-table was changed to
+ table.mw-prefixindex-list-table to avoid duplicate ids when the special page
+ is transcluded.
+* (bug 62198) window.$j has been deprecated.
+* Preference "Disable link title conversion" was removed.
+* SpecialRecentChanges no longer includes any functionality for generating feeds
+ - it has been factored out to ApiFeedRecentChanges. Old URLs redirect to new
+ ones.
+* RecentChange::mExtra['lang'] is no longer set and should no longer be used.
+ Extensions should read from other configuration variables, including
+ $wgLocalInterwikis, to identify the current wiki.
+* Sections in the parser test framework have been renamed and the old
+ section names are deprecated. Please use "!!wikitext" and "!!html"
+ (or "!!html/php") instead of "!!input" and "!!result". This allows
+ us to extend parser tests to accommodate additional input/output
+ pairs, such as "!!html/parsoid" (for the output of the Parsoid
+ parser, where it differs from the PHP parser).
+* Special:Search no longer has an "include redirects" option on the advanced
+ tab. Redirects are now included in all searches.
+* mediawiki.api.category's getCategories() 'async' parameter was deprecated.
+* The locations of resources have been split between upstream libraries, now in
+ resources/lib/, local libaries in resources/src/, and local forks of upstream
+ libraries, also in resources/src/.
+* BREAKING CHANGE: The automatically-generated function closure with which
+ ResourceLoader wraps all modules' JavaScript code now binds the identifier
+ names 'jQuery' and '$' to the jQuery object of the version of jQuery that is
+ bundled with MediaWiki. If you bind these names to other objects in global
+ scope (like Zepto.js or document.querySelectorAll, for example) you will need
+ to use different names to or re-bind them at the top of each
+ ResourceLoader-loaded module.
+* (bug 52342) Preference "Remember my login" was removed.
+* The skin autodiscovery mechanism has been deprecated and will be removed in
+ MediaWiki 1.25. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_autodiscovery
+ for migration guide for creators and users of custom skins that relied on it.

+* (bug 60719) In MediaWiki 1.22, the job queue execution on each page request was changed (Gerrit change 59797) so, instead of executing the job inside the same PHP process that's rendering the page, a new PHP cli command is spawned to execute runJobs.php in the background. It will only work if $wgPhpCli is set to an actual path or safe mode is off, otherwise, the old method will be used. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue#Changes_introduced_in_MediaWiki_1.22 for more infomation.
