Nov 2019[edit | edit source]

  • Now you can thank other editors for a specific edit with just one click: To do so, click the "thank" link in any page history or page diff. Being an MEpedia editor includes many opportunities for negative feedback, so we need more positive feedback like this in MEpedia!

  • Dates in references will automatically be shown in the form MMM DD, YYYY when you save / update pages - no need to change the format dates generated automatically
  • Userboxes added - add some to your user page

  • Did you know that images from "Free access" and "Open access" might not be licensed for reuse? And that images from tweets aren't licensed as "public domain" images? Or that any image from PLOS ONE or Gray's anatomy is fine for reuse? MEpedia:Copyright policy explains more
  • Thank other editors and give WikiLove with Thank templates:

  • Massively increased information on Category:MEpedia help and Category:MEpedia documentation, with further changes ongoing
  • MEpedia:Tutorial created
  • Captcha messages (What does the C in CFS stand for?) now turned off for editors with an account. Editors without an account can add requests for websites that should not prompt for a Captcha check.
  • The new Terminology pages means selected words or phrases used on any page will automatically have a dotted underline / tooltip. Some terms that don't need a dedicated page can be added to explain what they are. See documentation on Extension:Lingo
  • Social media links on all pages using the AddThis extension (may not be visible of using an ad blocker)
