User blog:Kirkburn/Technical Update: June 4, 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.

Major Bugs Fixed

 * Our image server thought it was on vacation this weekend. We've had a stern talk and it seems to be back on track now.
 * It is no longer possible to create Message Wall and Forum posts with titles that consist of only spaces (which made them difficult to access).
 * Categories inherited from templates no longer visually disappear after adding a new category in view mode.
 * Images used on Shared Help pages did not work in the media lightbox: we have switched off the lightbox for these images.
 * The ImageSizeInfo extension, used on some wikis, has been fixed.
 * The system that picks images for use in Related Pages and categories galleries will no longer skip over valid images from articles.

Other Notable Changes

 * The new file page layout is enabled for all wikis (it was previously enabled only for English wikis)
 * The page Special:GameGuidesContent becomes available to admins on all gaming wikis, and is enabled by default on all newly created gaming wikis.

Select Known Issues

 * Hitting tab while viewing a page turns links on all inactive local navigation menus into ninjas (they disappear).
