Proposed deletion of Softwrap
The article Softwrap has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Nothing here to show notability. The sole reference attests only to the fact that the company no longer exists.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ubiquity (talk) 08:15, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Future changes
- The search function on Wikimedia wikis will get a completion suggester that tries to find the right pages as the user is typing. It will also recognize some typos. This will probably happen in March. It is currently in beta. [8]

Recent changes
- Thanks to the Graph extension and Pageview API, we now have {{Graph:PageViews}} templates that can show pageviews for any wiki page for any of the wikis. See the examples.
- The Capiunto extension is installed on test wiki. Capiunto provides flexible infobox functionality for Scribunto and generates HTML for infobox features such as headers and rows. It is designed for clean and modern infoboxes that are driven by data from Wikidata, easily usable across different language versions, and easily extensible.
- The visual editor now follows the TemplateData
format
setting announced in November. When you edit or add a use of a template, the wikitext will be laid out in one of the two ways. [14][15] - The order of parameters and format defined in a template's TemplateData will be now respected. [16][17]
Changes this week
- On wikis where the visual editor is available in single edit tab mode, red links may open the visual editor instead of the wikitext editor, depending on user preferences. [18]
- Anonymous editor warning is now displayed as a warningbox for consistency in both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. [19]
- Parsoid has been updated to fit some HTML 5 specifications. [20]
Meetings
