Mediawiki upgraded to 1.23.5
Mediawiki was upgraded to 1.23.5 (release notes).
Minor configuration changes
- 'Sandstone' customizations are now implemented via a Mediawiki extension rather than via Vector.css and Common.css.
- Users are now prompted by default to enter an edit summary when saving a page without one. Users may change this behavior by unchecking Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary in their editing preferences.
- Account approvers no longer receive email notification of pending requests. They should visit Special:Watchlist to determine if there are any pending requests.
- The minimum words required for the bio field on the Special:RequestAccount form has been reduced from 50 to 15.
- Additional parser functions related to string processing are now available (example: User:Ckoehler/Tests/Replace).
- Registered and autoconfirmed users now have access to the writeapi, enabling certain AJAX-dependent UX features.
