3.19.0

Jul 28, 2026

⚠️ Breaking change: The deprecated $wgCitizenUseNewToken config has been removed — wikis on the preview channel must set $wgCitizenPreview = 4; instead. Section and table markup has also changed, so custom CSS keyed on the old shape may need retargeting, and wikis that cache HTML output should purge after updating.

Highlights

• ♿ A more accessible skin Pressing Tab now reveals a "Jump to content" link, collapsible sections can be opened from the keyboard, and screen readers hear proper names for the contents panel and navigation menus.

• ⚡ Faster, steadier pages Pages load less skin JavaScript and do less work up front, and tables and scroll boxes now settle into place as the page paints instead of shifting content around them.
