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.12 (8b8c762), 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.

• Use of the CSS markup !important is no longer broken by automatic conversion of spaces to non-breaking spaces. (r32377, bug 11874)
• Deleting or creating a talk page now correctly turns its link on the corresponding article page red or blue respectively to the view of anonymous users. (r32390, bug 344)
• Image captions are now no longer confused with image dimensions in some cases, such as an image caption ending in 'px'. (This fix led to the Wikipedia:ClickFix problem, where image dimensions written with pxpx are no longer valid.) (r32394, bug 13436)
• API queries for list=users now work correctly even when all the usernames specified are actually IP addresses. (r32476, bug 13517)
• API output in YAML no longer has trailing spaces. (r32485, bug 11719)
• The upload form no longer appears blank when the user does not specify a filename but tries to upload anyway. (r32569, bug 13556)

• The software now correctly decodes headings in the section=new 'Headline/Title' box when the user accidentally types the == signs in manually, even though they are automatically provided by the software. (r32376, bug 1600)
• Confirmation emails now have a link to reject confirmation, as well as a link to carry out confirmation. (r32499, bug 13450)
• Special:Upload now states what the maximum allowed file size to upload is. (r32516, bug 13490)
• The API action=parse now allows a revision ID to be specified as a parameter to the query. (r32541, bug 13544)

• All Wikimedia wikis except Commons now have upload of images, and other files, restricted to autoconfirmed users (those with an account over 4 days old). (bug 12556http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12556)

• 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.

On Thursday, the 10,000,000th article was created. A press release circulated by the Foundation on Friday declared the 10,000,000th article to be the Hungarian article on painter Nicholas Hilliard, created by user Pataki Márta.

Of the 10,000,000 articles, 23% are in English, 7.2% are in German, and 6.4% are in French. The top 10 Wikipedias (English, German, French, Polish, Japanese, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish) compose about 64.9% of all articles, while about 240 other Wikipedias combine for the remaining 35.1%.

On the heels of receiving a three-year grant worth US$3 million from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (see archived story), the Wikimedia Foundation announced last week an additional $500,000 donation from philanthropists Vinod and Neeru Khosla. Vinod Khosla is a venture capitalist, best known for co-founding Sun Microsystems. The donation was announced in a press release on Thursday.

• First deleted in March 2006, and a perennial deletion review candidate, The Game (game) was recreated after a successful deletion review, using new sources. The article has since been moved to The Game (mind game).
• The Ukrainian Wikipedia has reached 100,000 articles.
• The Min Nan Wiktionary has reached 25,000 edits.
• The Haitian Wikipedia has reached 15,000 articles.
• The Min Nan Wikipedia has reached 3,000 articles.
• The Manx Wikipedia has reached 1,000 articles.
• The Sinhalese Wikipedia has reached 500 articles.

The Arbitration Committee opened one new case this week.

• International Churches of Christ: A case involving disputes concerning the article on International Churches of Christ.

• Prem Rawat: A case involving the actions of editors on Prem Rawat and related articles. Remedies proposed by bainer, and not voted on by any other arbitrators, would place Rawat-related articles on article probation, advise Jossi to maintain his February commitment not to edit articles related to the Rawat movement, and encouraging editors to seek the help of neutral editors in resolving disputes.

• Betacommand 2: A case involving the actions of Betacommand and others in relation to BetacommandBot, a controversial bot which tags some non fair use compliant images. Betacommand's actions had previously been discussed on a subpage of WP:AN. The main remedy, supported by four arbitrators, would instruct Betacommand to remain civil, refrain from making personal attacks, operate BetacommandBot within the scope of policies, and refrain from "further instances of untoward conduct"; an alternate remedy, with three supporting and one abstaining, would extend the remedy to require Betacommand to allow a method of opting out of user talk-page messages. Other remedies proposed, and supported by four arbitrators, would urge Betacommand to be more responsive to good-faith questions, advise editors that images and media may be periodically reviewed for compliance with non-free content criteria, and ask the community to re-examine policies regarding image deletion, bot-directed and otherwise.

• September 11 conspiracy theories: A case involving the actions of some editors on articles related to the September 11, 2001 attacks, particularly in relation to 9/11 conspiracy theories. A unanimous remedy, with a majority of six users supporting, would allow any uninvolved administrator to impose sanctions on editors working on articles related to the events of September 11; such sanctions could be appealed to the imposing administrator, the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, or the Arbitration Committee itself.

• Highways 2: A case involving editing by NE2 on articles relating to WikiProject U.S. Roads, allegedly against consensus of other editors involved with that wikiproject. If closed as-is, only a remedy counseling editors to consider contributing outside of disputed articles would pass, though an additional remedy, advising WikiProject U.S. Roads to refer to prior debates when explaining prior consensus, has recently been proposed.
