Fixed bugs
- Some mixes of <pre> tags and section headers no longer cause section editing to duplicate part of the page. (r23101, bug 10309)
- Protecting a redirect now returns to the redirect itself, not to its target. (r23304, bug 10344)
New features

- A new interface message MediaWiki:Revision-info-current now displays instead of MediaWiki:Revision-info when the current revision is shown in the history. Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2007-06-25/Technology report/bug
