Here are the latest technical updates on FANDOM. Keep in mind that our system updates happen every Tuesday and Thursday - today's notes are for tomorrow's site update. Also note that we change hundreds of tiny details every week, so these are just the highlights.

Major Bug Fixes[]

  • We will fix an issue where Tabber was not visible in the classic editor's preview dialog.
    • We are also updating the core Tabber code as part of this update, which may result in some small styling and behaviour tweaks.
  • We will fix an issue where content moderators could not undelete some pages that had article comments.
  • If a community's main page is outside the main namespace, the wiki's wordmark and logo will no longer link to 'Main Page' instead of the correct page.
  • Admin Dashboard will no longer list 'Add a blog post' on wikis where that feature is disabled. (Thanks to Volunteer Developers for this fix.)
  • On Monobook, the blog comments links on user blog pages will now link to the correct location. (Thanks to Volunteer Developers for this fix.)
  • We recently fixed an issue where special page reports were not updating as expected on some wikis.

Other Notable Changes[]

Recent mobile app updates are listed on Apps Technical Updates, and detailed site CSS-related updates can be found at http://report.wikia.net

  • We will be re-adding a setting to the Featured Videos player that allows higher resolution videos to be displayed.
  • Chinese, Portuguese and Russian wikis will begin seeing language-appropriate selections in the footer's 'Explore Wikis' section.

Select Known Issues[]

  • We are looking into some other reported issues with Tabber, such as it not being visible in the VisualEditor. Note: tabber does not work well with mobile devices, so we still recommend against using it.
