- the effect of the new __INDEX__/__NOINDEX__ magic words. (Default: null, ex-
- empt all content namespaces.)
-* $wgForwardSearchUrl has been removed entirely. Documented setting since 1.4
- has been $wgSearchForwardUrl.
-* (bug 15080) $wgOverrideSiteFeed has been added. Setting either
- $wgSiteFeed['rss'] or 'atom' to a URL will override the default Recent
- Changes feed that appears on all pages.
-* $wgSQLiteDataDirMode has been introduced as the default directory mode for
- SQLite data directories on creation. Note that this setting is separate from
- $wgDirectoryMode, which applies to all normal dirs created by MediaWiki.
-* $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf now work more like
- $wgAddGroups and $wgRemoveGroups, where the user must belong to a specified
- group in order to add or remove those groups from themselves.
- Backwards compatibility is maintained.
-* $wgRestrictDisplayTitle controls if the use of the {{DISPLAYTITLE}} magic
- word is restricted to titles equivalent to the actual page title. This
- is true per default, but can be set to false to allow any title.
-* $wgSpamRegex may now be an array of multiple regular expressions.
-* $wgAjaxSearch has been removed; use $wgEnableMWSuggest instead.
-* Editing the MediaWiki namespace is now unconditionally restricted to people
- with the editinterface right, configuring this in $wgNamespaceProtection
- is not required.
-* $wgAllowExternalImagesFrom may now be an array of multiple strings.
-* Introduced $wgEnableImageWhitelist to toggle the on-wiki external image
- whitelist on or off.

- sitenotice cache keys.

- ($wgLocalInterwiki) onto the page names in the UDP feed.
-* Added $wgAllowUserSkin to let the wiki's owner disable user selectable skins
- on the wiki. If it's set to true, then the skin used will *always* be
- $wgDefaultSkin.
-* Added $wgEnotifUseRealName, which allows UserMailer to send out e-mails based
- on the user's real name if one is set. Defaults to false (use the username)
-* Removed the 'apiThumbCacheDir' option from $wgForeignFileRepos (only used in
- ForeignAPIRepo)
-* (bug 44) Image namespace and accompanying talk namespace renamed to File.
- For backward compatibility purposes, Image still works. External tools may
- need to be updated.
-* The constants NS_FILE and NS_FILE_TALK can now be used instead of NS_IMAGE and
- NS_IMAGE_TALK. The old constants are retained as aliases for compatibility,
- and should still be used in code meant to be compatible with v1.13 or older.
-* MediaWiki can be forced to use private IPs forwarded by a proxy server by
- using $wgUsePrivateIPs.
-* The 'BeforeWatchlist' hook has been removed due to internal changes in
- Special:Watchlist. 'SpecialWatchlistQuery' should now be used by extensions
- to customize the watchlist database query.

- respectively MediaWiki:Editnotice-# where # is the namespace number, and
- MediaWiki:Editnotice-#-PAGENAME where # is the page's namespace number and

-* (bug 8068) New __INDEX__ and __NOINDEX__ magic words allow user control of
- search engine indexing on a per-article basis.
-* Handheld stylesheet options
-* Added 'DoEditSectionLink' hook as a cleaner unified version of the old
- 'EditSectionLink' and 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hooks. Note that the
- 'EditSectionLinkForOther' hook has been removed, but 'EditSectionLink' is
- run in all cases instead, so extensions using the old hooks should still work
- if they ran roughly the same code for both hooks (as is almost certain).

- using new "alt=" parameter for images

-* Added the ability to display user edit counts in Special:ListUsers. Off by
