			== Skin change from Vector to Citizen ==

			I've just changed over the default site skin from Vector to Citizen. While I love Vector and its classic look, Citizen makes the site a bit more user-friendly. It is also mobile responsive natively which is a huge help. Vector is still available to choose in user preferences if you wish. Any feedback welcome.

	:Apologies for the issues with the mobile frontend. It seems that the extension makers initiated a wiki-breaking change and hid it into the release notes. Should all be fixed now.

			== Upgrade to 1.41.0 ==

			After many steps of upgrading incrementally from 1.31, we are finally here at the latest release. I'll do my best to keep on top of things now.

			Unfortunately it seems that Mediawiki changed permissions to edit Mediawiki.js and a bunch of other files [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.32/interface-admin as usual buried in some developer page] which got me stuck for a while. Now there seems to be a problem with the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto Scribunto extension], possibly related to now needing execute permissions.

			I've disabled it for now which means that none of the templates or other stuff that depends on lua works. I'll fix it as soon as I can. If you have any questions, please ask here. Thanks for your patience. [[User:Philip\|Philip]] ([[User talk:Philip\|talk]]) 22:48, 9 January 2024 (AEDT)
