11. * Taiwan location for Wikimania 2007
12. * Chinese unblocking Wikipedia
13. * Tor blocking.... is it a good pratice
14. * No more @ signs in usernames, because of spamming, breaks stuff - [username@foobar.com] - New accounts on the WMF-wikis can not longer be created if the username contains the @-symbol. Existing users who have that symbol in there username can still login but only temporary. All these users need to request for a username change. Contact a local bureaucrat to do that or ask a steward if your wiki does not have a bureaucrat.
15. ** http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_permissions#Username_changes
16. * [CategoryTree] - On the category-pages there is now a function added that lets users browse through the lower category levels from the higher category. There is an option to "expand" the category. This makes it much more easy to navigate and find the category you are looking for without the need to actually request the different layers of the category. This function works only if javascript is enabled. If not, the "+" symbol appears but does not work. Those users can still use the categories the traditional way.
