==Back-end changes ???? - confusion in the mad house==
 
Hi Mark, are you aware of any recent back-end changes to our software/configuration?  I've noticed some weird text appear on [[template:Wiki]] (but its' edit history shows no changes, nor do any of its cascading templates).  I've also noticed Semantic MediaWiki has vanished!!  No doubt a few other plug-ins and extensions have also vanished - look at [[Special:Version]] to see it has shrunken quite dramatically!  What's going on???  <confused>  Best.

You don't need a screenshot - just look at ANY article which uses the standard 'Wiki' infobox template - a few for you: [[WikiIndex]], [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]], or even your own user page.  As [[YiFei]] states above, it seems to be any page using Wiki and/or size templates are affected.  If you look at [[Special:Version]], a massive chunk of 'Parser extension tags' have gone AWOL, and I'm fairly sure many have also gone from 'Parser function hooks'.
I don't wish to be in any way disrespectful to [[Emufarmers]], but it seems whenever he updates one thing, he creates a problem elsewhere.  (Or it maybe that the cheque from [[Ray King]] to Emu bounced!)  How about getting [[User:Jack Phoenix]] to take over our back-end sysadmin?  Afterall, Jack is arguable one of ''the'' most experienced official MediaWiki developers, and a prolific MW Extension creator, and he now runs [[ShoutWiki]].
Irrespective of the way forward, it needs sorting ASAP, because it looks very messy and untidy on article pages.  Best, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 15:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
