*Converted the table of contents on wiki pages from <table> to <div> and adjusted skin CSS accordingly. The CSS was carefully crafted to be backwards-compatible in all reasonable cases (uses of the <nowiki>__TOC__</nowiki> magic word, the #toc CSS id and the .toc CSS class). However, particularly bad abuse of the id or the class can possibly break. | *Converted the table of contents on wiki pages from <table> to <div> and adjusted skin CSS accordingly.

* | *1.23 has several database changes since 1.22, and will not work without schema updates. | ||
* | *Same requirements as above. | ||
*Preferences 'watchcreations', 'watchdefault', 'enotifwatchlistpages' ("Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist", "Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist", "Email me when a page or file on my watchlist is changed") are now enabled by default. In addition new user accounts' personal and talk pages are now watched by them by default. | |||
*Add expensive parser functions {{REVISIONID:}}, {{REVISIONUSER:}} and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:}} (with friends). | |||
*The MediaWiki:Group-user.{css,js} pages can now be used to add custom CSS or JavaScript enabled only for registered users. | |||
*[[Special:Diff]] was added, allowing users to create internal links to revision comparison pages using syntax such as [[Special:Diff/12345]], [[Special:Diff/12345/prev]] or [[Special:Diff/12345/98765]]. | |||
*Slight changes to the typography. The details are listed [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Typography_refresh here], but the gist of it is a classier serif font for headers, slightly larger text, and that text is now dark-dark-gray instead of black. | |||
*Redirect pages, when viewed with redirect=no, no longer hide the remaining page content. | |||
*The global functions addButton and insertTags (for mw.toolbar.addButton and mw.toolbar.insertTags) now emits mw.log.warn when accessed. | |||
*Display MediaWiki:Loginprompt on the login page (as in 1.21). | |||
