User blog:DaNASCAT/Technical Update: November 26, 2013

Here are the latest technical updates at Wikia. Keep in mind that our system updates happen every Wednesday, so we’re posting this on a Tuesday to give you advance notice. Also note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

New Features

 * VisualEditor: Added options to change the filename and set the license for uploaded media.
 * In VisualEditor, the default license option is the first option listed on MediaWiki:Licenses (as opposed to "None selected")

Major Bugs Fixed

 * H1 headings were not included in Tables of Contents.
 * Image attribution and Tables of Contents sometimes used the interface language of the last person to edit page.
 * Improved widescreen source mode editor toolbar behaviour on fluid width wikis.
 * Improved  behaviour within main page column tags.
 * Clicking a redlink was not routing users through the "Create new article" flow.

Other Notable Changes
Detailed CSS updates can be found at http://report.wikia.net - the diffs show changes to .css, .scss, .tmpl.php, .html, .sass and .mustache files in Wikia's codebase.


 * The "Enable visual editor" user preference now applies to the new VisualEditor wherever it's enabled (the separate "beta" user preference is removed).
