Template:WMFReleasePage
This template creates a release notes page for a wmf-version of MediaWiki, which are regularly deployed to WMF wikis. Example usage can be found here.
Usage
Simply include this template on a page which has the following name structure, MediaWiki 1.XX/wmf.X, where XX is the major version number of MediaWiki, and X the minor wmf-version number.
The only required parameter is the date when the version is first deployed to any WMF wiki.
E.g. {{WMFReleasePage|2016-07-19}}
If a week has no deploys, then you can make the prior and following weeks link directly to each other. E.g. If version 2 is skipped, you would use:
{{WMFReleasePage|2021-09-21|next=3}}{{WMFReleasePage|2021-09-21|prior=1}}
Branch changes are simply linked to each other via redirects. E.g. MediaWiki 1.38/wmf.0 is a redirect to MediaWiki 1.37/wmf.23.
Note
The page will read, "🕑 This page will contain details shortly after 02:00 UTC on Tuesday" until the https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/train-deploy-notes/ job is run
