This is a summary of recent technology and site configuration changes that affect the English Wikipedia. Note that not all changes described here are necessarily live as of press time; the English Wikipedia is currently running version 1.44.0-wmf.3 (b4aac1f), and changes to the software with a version number higher than that will not yet be active. Configuration changes and changes to interface messages, however, become active immediately.

• The paging links in Special:Prefixindex now work correctly on pages with ampersands in their names. (r37704, bug 13949)
• Special:Userlogout now doesn't show broken unified-logout images for a user who does not have a global account. (r37772, bug 14842)

• The information in Special:UnwatchedPages is now available to administrators via the API (using list=allpages with apfilterwatched). (r37748, bug 14020)

• The EasyTimeline extension (used to add timelines in some wiki pages) was broken recently, causing pages with timelines in them to become inaccessible; it has been reverted to an older version temporarily pending a fix.

• Internationalisation has been continuing as normal; help is always appreciated! See mw:Localisation statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to bugzilla or use Betawiki.
