This week's "ambassador" news was more interesting than usual. But the improvements may take a while to filter through to Fandom.
- "Editors who want to re-use references but with different details such as page numbers, will be able to do so by the end of 2024, using a new sub-referencing feature. You can read more about the project and how to test the prototype.
- "Editors using tracking categories to identify which pages use specific extensions may notice that six of the categories have been renamed to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match. Thanks to Pppery for these improvements. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T347324
- "Advanced item Technical volunteers who edit modules and want to get a list of the categories used on a page, can now do so using the categories property of https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Title_objects. This enables wikis to configure workflows such as category-specific edit notices. Thanks to SD001 for these improvements. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50175 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85372 "
