*MediaWiki 1.38 is introducing a new system for configuration loading. The new system is fully compatible with the traditional way of configuring, but it offers some new features. Interested parties are encouraged to experiment with the new ways to load configuration and report any issues they come across. | *MediaWiki 1.38 is introducing a new system for configuration loading.

*$wgExtraNamespaces no longer overrides canonical namespace names specified in extension.json files. While this setting can still be used to rename extension-defined namespaces, system administrators may need to run namespaceDupes.php after upgrading. | *$wgExtraNamespaces no longer overrides canonical namespace names specified in extension.json files.

*<nowiki>{{=}}</nowiki> is now a wikitext built-in magic word, expanding to =.

*Special:Search can now show thumbnails for results for titles outside NS_FILE. This is controlled via the new onSearchResultProvideThumbnail hook. | |||
*A new preference ('search-thumbnail-extra-namespaces') to allow users to control whether to show more thumbnails (per $wgThumbnailNamespaces) | |||
*The preferences page now provides a search bar to find preferences, regardless of the tab on which they appear. | |||
*$wgPasswordPolicies – This setting, which controls what makes for a valid password for wiki accounts, has been adjusted to raise the minimal password length from 1 to 8 characters. The initial limit of 1 has been in place since MediaWiki 1.26. If you wish to allow shorter passwords, you can over-ride it in your LocalSettings following the guidance on MediaWiki.org. | |||
*You should configure your webserver to return the http header 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' for the /images directory. This will instruct browsers to not apply content sniffing when accessing the files. MediaWiki before 1.40 shipped with a content sniffer which disallowed potentially dangerous files at upload time, but this protection has now been removed in favor of this 'X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff' header and the installer will return a warning when it is not in place. | |||
*Maintenance scripts should now be executed using maintenance/run.php, e.g. maintenance/run.php update not maintenance/update.php as before. | |||
*Five extensions have now been bundled with MediaWiki: | |||
**The DiscussionTools extension, which provides a forum-like editing experience for wikitext-based discussion pages. | |||
**The Echo extension, which provides a system of user notifications. | |||
**The Linter extension, which warns about use of deprecated wikitext. | |||
**The LoginNotify extension, which warns users about failed attempted logins. | |||
**The Thanks extension, which lets users thank editors for edits. | |||
*The Renameuser extension has been moved to MediaWiki core. It is now possible to rename users without installing an extension. The extension had already been bundled with MediaWiki since 1.18. | |||
