 Recent changes

 * The Two Column Edit Conflict View is available as a beta>mw:Special:MyLanguage/Beta Features|beta feature on all wikis. It is a new interface for the edit conflict resolution page.

 Problems 
 * The  library does not load automatically any more. Your Special:MyPage/common.js may use it. If you have technical problems that started a couple of weeks ago you can try adding   as the first line in the file and   as a last one. Tech News wrote about this in the 18>m:Tech/News/2017/18|2017/18 issue.

 Changes this week 
 * The revslider>mw:Extension:RevisionSlider|RevisionSlider extension will be a default feature on all wikis. RevisionSlider is an easier way to move between changes in the page history. It has been a default feature on German, Arabic and Hebrew Wikipedia and a beta feature on all wikis. You will be able to turn it off in your preferences.
 * There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

 Future changes 
 * Administrators will soon be able to search through deleted pages.
 * Octicons-tools.svg Markup that looks like code for language variants might need to be fixed. Tech News wrote about this last week. If   is used in transclusions or web addresses it has to be escaped appropriately. You can use   for transclusions and   in web addresses. This is because of some code fixes to the preprocessor and affects all wikis. You can now see wikilist>mw: Parsoid/Language conversion/Preprocessor fixups/20170501|the full list of wikis with this problem and help fix them to avoid that things break later this month. You might find false positives. You can editrules>mw: Parsoid/Language conversion/Preprocessor fixups/Edit logbook#Edit Rules|read more about what to fix.

 Older unreported changes 
 * Your mypage>m:Special:MyPage|Meta user page is shown on all wikis where you don't have a local user page. You can now add the magic word  to your Meta user page to stop this.
