== Deployment of MediaWiki 1.21wmf5 to Wikimedia sites==

The latest version (labeled "1.21wmf5<includeonly></includeonly>") of MediaWiki, the software that powers Wikipedia and its sister sites, is being deployed to all Wikimedia sites in stages.

Deployment started on Monday, November 26 and continue until Wednesday, December 5 ([[MediaWiki 1.21/Roadmap|see the roadmap]]).

We will continue to deploy the latest software every two weeks. This is intended to minimize disruption and possible issues, and make it easier to identify the cause of problems, since the possibly problematic code will be much more recent.

===Account creation welcome===

As requested via [[bugzilla:42215|bug 42215]], the title of the page you see on account creation is now "Welcome, ''Username''". To make this, the [[MediaWiki:welcomecreation]] message was split into two messages:
----
; [[MediaWiki:Welcomeuser]]
: {{int:|welcomeuser}}
; [[MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg]]
: {{int:|welcomecreation-msg}}
----
If your wiki has customized the [[MediaWiki:welcomecreation]] message and wants to preserve the customization, an admin needs to
# move it to [[MediaWiki:welcomecreation-msg]] (without leaving a redirect),
# remove the "== Welcome, $1==" heading line from welcomecreation-msg,
# (preferably) log out and create an account to see if it works.
