This morning I received an email:

Thanks to everbody helping to make this possible!

New features:

- New Atom/RSS feed. It won't send log messages, like creation of a user, any more, so you should see just the meat: article creations and article edits. [reprap.org] and/or [reprap.org]

- Better search field: start to type and the wiki will show you a menu with existing completions.

- Experienced users with more than 150 edits no longer need to solve captchas, even when adding external links.

- Newbie users with less than 10 edits won't be allowed to add external links (or create new pages containing such) at all. This is a very important anti-spam measure. So far it seems to work out, zero spam since the flip.

- All the goodies the new Mediawiki software brings in, of course.

While we tested the new software a lot over the last few weeks, the flip already showed up with two (now known) caveats:

- The file upload link in the toolbox to the left is missing.

- Math formulas no longer render, e.g. here: [reprap.org]

We're working on this. Please report if you find additional ones.


Have fun!

Great work! Thank you.

Awesome! The spam was getting tiring. Now wiki admins can focus more on actual content.

Looking good, just need to find something worthwhile to contribute.
