MediaWiki 1.18

To be released in the future!!

What's new ?
We bring you new features, bug fixes and new exciting bugs for the next version release. This place will try to give you an overview of the most important features.



MediaWiki now supports Women!
Women are most probably the most common gender in the human species, yet we used a neutral to link to their user page. In English this is not an issue since 'user' match both genders. Since we supports other languages we now adapt the User links to reflect your gender. Be proud to be a male or female!

This feature requires the user to set its gender in its user preferences.

PHP 5.2.3
For the MediaWiki administrators, the most important change is that we now requires PHP version 5.2.3. Why? Well it brings some tools for your beloved developers. Since it got released on June 1st 2007, we believe this requirement will not be a hassle for the administrators. Anyway make sure you fix your PHP installation and contact your host if it runs an outdated PHP version.

Rotate pictures


We are now able to verify how the photographer took the photo. Was its camera upside down? We will rotate the picture preview accordingly, the source photo remain unchanged though.

Nicer URL!
MediaWiki attempts to generates nicer URL whenever possible. The URL  can be replaced by the prettier.

Make sure to update your robots.txt if you have any.

MediaWiki 1.18 comes with MOAR stuff.
