ALL POSTSRelease Highlights - September 4, 2020: The One With A Bunch of Nice Changes and Classic Rock
<p>Happy Friday, Sailers! How is your Pause going? Need some weekend music?
</p><p>Recently, we had some nice changes deployed which I think you'll like, so let's jump into them!
</p><p>Bad Company (among reported posts)
</p><p>There are new entry points to the Reported Queue now. The Admin Dashboard and bottom toolbar both have links to reach the queue. This will help mods+ to use the feature more often (or realize it exists for the first time). Thank you to Mira Laime for that joke. Go listen to Bad Company, the hit single on the record Bad Company, by the band Bad Company.
</p><p>Time is on my side, yes it is (and on your tooltips)
</p><p>Discussions and Message Walls now have actual date and timestamps on hover, rather than "3 days ago" as it stands now. Please go listen to some Rolling Stones this weekend.
</p><p>The files are alright (and can be uploaded again)
</p><p>The extension TimedMediaHandler has been installed on the UCP, resolving a number of file support issues, including the re-enabling of ogg file uploading. Cheap Trick is another band I recommend for this weekend.
</p><p>Pre tags
</p><p>Use of the pre element in CSS styling will no longer cause editor display issues. This is one of the major fixes mentioned in the migration pause mitigation plan.
</p><p>Template Editing
</p><p>Templates no longer open in visual editor if you have your editor preference set to source editor, as intended.
</p><p>Source editor background
</p><p>The source editor now has a solid background, reducing legibility issues on communities with "busy" custom backgrounds.
</p><p>Get back to where you once belonged (on the mobile site)
</p><p>If you're on a mobile device and use the link to view the desktop site, we give you a similar link to return to the mobile site, if you so choose. If you don't understand the reference in this section title, please spend your weekend listening to the entire Beatles catalog.
</p><p>You're never alone (with image sharing)
</p><p>EN wikis migrated to the UCP which share images from a non-EN wiki will now have those images display correctly. Again, Bad Company. Very underrated band with some absolutely incredible songs.
</p><p>Highway (to deeplinking) Star
</p><p>You can now copy a deeplink to any comment or comment reply on the UCP. Go listen to some songs from Deep Purple this weekend. See? There's the deep link to deeplinking. It was a very deep joke about deepness.
</p><p>Band on the Run (with their mobile devices)
</p><p>The issue that caused select pages to throw errors on mobile has been resolved. Wings is also a good band with some great songs, especially if you dig the Beatles.
</p>
<hr><p>Upcoming
</p><p>Social Activity and 2010 Editor development are going well :)
</p>

<p>Well if these times are changing and we’re all moody, it’s best to do a music reference or pun on the subject at hand. I can bear-ily think of some ways to lighten up the mood except that!

Will mobile web will be expanded in the next update or Phase 2?

<p>Go to https://wreckit-woodhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_actress
(if it exists already, change url to a new name, but stay in Template namespace)
</p><p>Click "Create source" (default: source editor)
</p><p>Notice the startup time. Choose type "Infobox" and click save:
</p>
- You're not in source mode now
- Cancel is on the left (POLA)
- If you click X ("cancel") you get a blank page
- Click source editor
- If you click save, it takes you through redirects, then finally you are in source mode and now have to delete a default template (is that configurable?)
- Clicked save after choosing Infobox
- Big white black screen of nothing (the iframe document has a blank body)
- Click source editor
- Would you like to save? No, cause I don't want the standard template that I have to delete
- Now it's not an infobox

<p>What you're describing is the InfoboxBuilder, the same as on Legacy. You can enter Source if you click the [] in the right bottom corner. It's actually more visible on UCP than it is on Legacy. </p>

Apologies for that bit. </p><p>But there's a key difference: if you don't save on legacy before switching to source, you get the template type pop-up again and empty editor (granted, you still don't have the infobox source editor, but at least it's a source editor and you can start copying bits from related infoboxes). </p>

<p>That's not the normal way of going to infobox source mode. Clicking the [] is.

<p>Yeah, that's what I said:
</p>
<dl><dd>
- Click source editor (<i>this means []</i>)
- Would you like to save? No, cause I don't want the standard template that I have to delete
- Now it's not an infobox

<p>Why in the world should I have to click something else to get to Source Mode when it's a) set as default for my account, and b) described as "edit source" on the button? </p>

<p>The infobox builder is a component separate from both SE and VE. As long as the infobox consists of standard building blocks, it will open in the Builder. Once modifications have been made to the source code to customize things, it will default open in the Source editor instead. This is already the case on Legacy.

I simply can't imagine what will happen with Greetings on the UCP. It is a very often used feature.
