Board Thread:Technical Updates/@comment-24006128-20201009130700

Happy Friday, gang!

We have a lot to cover, so let's get into it.

User Talk Page Notifications

These now work on the UCP!

Keyboard Shortcuts

All the old Fandom keyboard shortcuts are now functioning properly on the UCP

Special:Community

Special:Community has been ported to the UCP with a very nice update that allows us to better surface Wiki Managers to each assigned community.

Article Comment Protection

UCP wikis can now have a special level of protection turned on that prevents non-email confirmed and non-autoconfirmed users from engaging in Article Comments, separate from those users being prevented from editing.

Editing deleted or locked Discussions

Mods and up can now make edits to deleted or locked Discussions posts without having to first undelete or unlock them.

Create New Page in your preferred editor

Create New Page now respects your editor preference.

Blocked user data fix

Special:BlockList is no longer incorrectly missing users blocked before 2018

Other notes


 * Forums migration has nearly completed. The final non-staff wiki to migrate will be Tardis, which migrated incorrectly earlier and had to be rolled back. Community Central wikis will be moving to Discussions later this month.


 * Gamepedia migrations are going very well and should be complete except for a few one-offs next week.


 * LinkSuggest is still undergoing QA. The feature is not quite behaving as it should in some of our test cases.


 * The bug fix for editor preferences being mismatched between Legacy and UCP is currently undergoing QA.
