RevisionSlider
From September 13th on, RevisionSlider will be available as a beta feature in your wiki. The RevisionSlider adds a slider view to the diff page, so that you can easily move between revisions. The feature fulfills a wish from the German Community’s Technical Wishlist. Everyone is invited to test the feature and we hope that it will serve you well in your work!

Wikinewsie upgrade?
Please update It appears that http://wikinewsie.org/ has been in the process of being upgraded for a month now. Is there an ETA on it? Also, I think the site should get a certificate from https://letsencrypt.org/ for SSL/TLS. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:37, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
