Help:Howto/Update info when new version is released
Version numbers
Update version numbers in Template:StableVersion (new stable build) and Template:DevelopmentVersion (next/development version). Also update Template:StableVersionList and Template:VersionInfo.
Creating Changelog/<new_version>
When the above described is done, you'll see the red link Changelog/<new_version> at the top of the News block on Main Page. To create the page, follow the link. Changelog/* pages have their own structure (pay attention to release date and version number):
<noinclude>{{PageLang|en}}{{VersionCard}}</noinclude>
Short changelog:
* <changelog item>
* <changelog item>
* ...
Updating Changelog page
Add the new version to the list of released versions. Use previous entries as example.
New plugins
Remove the hide-stable=1 parameter in Template:PluginInfo for plugins that are being released as stable. This will add "stable" download links for those plugins on Download pages and in their plugin cards on their pages.
Forum
Update banner on main page (click "Admin" then "Main" → "News and Newsletters"). Create and pin appropriate topics in "News" boards for English and Russian forums. Unpin previous topic.
