Being a decade-old bug, I think it’s newsworthy that it has been fixed (draft added to Tech/News/2024/16).

Hello @ovasileva, is this improvement ready to be announced in Tech-News?
If it is ready, what about this wording. "Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice an improvement on line across all typography settings." Let me know if it is okay.

@UOzurumba - I would suggest: "After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed."

Not sure yet, but I'll take care of it. I'll talk to folks from the Content Transform team before adding an entry, as they might have an opinion on this.

Hello @Esanders,
For Tech News - What wording would you suggest as the content, and can it be included in the recent Tech news in the "Changes later this week" section?

Hello @Seddon,
When should this be included in Tech News? Is this wording:

Image Recommendations will be added to Wikimedia mobile apps. This will include adding a new lint error type to identify images without alt text, facilitating correction workflows and microtasks within the Wikipedia app. Please give your feedback in this phab ticket or here

okay? Thank you!

Future change: The right to change [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Tags|edit tags]] (<code>changetags</code>) will be removed from users and bots by default in Wikimedia sites. Your community can ask to keep the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. This needs to be done by [insert date] at T355639.

Example: wgGlobalGroups, now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request.

Maybe a code example

if (/globlgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))

Thanks @WikiBayer, I have added it to the Tech News draft in the "Recent changes" section. Please, let me know if that is accurate.

Hello @Urbanecm_WMF, is this ready to be captured in the next Tech News?

Yes; this is an already deployed change. A database cleanup is in progress (T357072), but that will not be user-visible.

"The CSS filter keyword can now be used in html style attributes in wikitext".

This patch rides the train (1.42.0-wmf19). It should go out next week i suppose.
