Wikitext highlighting out of beta
Wikitext syntax highlighting, also known as CodeMirror, has been moved out of Beta Features and is available in the 2017 Wikitext Editor on all wikis. Syntax highlighting helps you see problems in your wikitext before previewing or publishing text. Please try out the tool if you did not do so while it was being developed, and feedback is welcome. - Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:55, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

SAScommunity
http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/ is going to be decommissions and is now read-only. http://www.sascommunity.org/wiki/sasCommunity:Terms_of_Use states (since April 2007) «CONTENT OWNERSHIP: Unless you indicate otherwise in the particular posting, by posting your content, you are granting sasCommunity.org and all other users of the Website an unrestricted, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide, and fully transferable, assignable, and sublicensable right and license to use, copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create collective or derivative works from, distribute, perform and display your content in whole or in part and to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, and you further warrant that all so-called moral rights in such content have been waived», so it would seem that any user of sascommunity.org is able to sublicense the entire wiki under cc-by-sa (!).

Can we use the material? Can some of the main namespace of the wiki be imported under SAS or other related book? --Nemo bis (discuss • contribs) 07:43, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

AdvancedSearch
From May 8, AdvancedSearch will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The feature enhances the search page through an advanced parameters form and aims to make existing search options more visible and accessible for everyone. AdvancedSearch is a project by WMDE Technical Wishes. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work! Birgit Müller (WMDE) 14:45, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Autoconfirmation
I have had an account for about 5 years, yet my account is not autoconfirmed. Why is this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nnn6nnn (discuss • contribs) 14:31, 29 May 2018
 * The account you're writing from was created on this project on January 30 of this year, and has only one edit here (the above question). Unfortunately, I don't recall how to tell whether a user account has been autoconfirmed. [found it; that account is autoconfirmed] --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:04, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
