+* The right to edit sitewide Javascript (e.g. MediaWiki:Common.js), CSS or JSON

+ sitewide CSS/JS (and editing other users' CSS/JS). No other group has
+ 'editsitecss', 'editusercss', 'editsitejs' or 'edituserjs' by default.

+* 'missingparam' errors will now use the prefixed parameter name in the code

=== Action API internal changes in 1.32 ===
* Added 'ApiParseMakeOutputPage' hook.
CapsuleMultiselectWidget. The following methods may no longer be used:
* setItemsFromData: Use setValue instead

- and not plain HTML.

* Use of a StartProfiler.php file is deprecated in favour of placing
* (T100681) Use of the Parsoid v1 API with the VirtualRESTService, deprecated in
MediaWiki 1.26, is now hard-deprecated. All known clients were converted to
the Parsoid v3 API in May 2015.
+* $input is deprecated in hook 'LogEventsListGetExtraInputs'. Use
+ $formDescriptor instead.
+* SearchEngine::transformSearchTerm( $term ) should no longer be called prior
+ to running searchText. This method was mainly implemented to support the
+ 'prefix' URI param in SpecialSearch, but there are no reasons to expose this
+ logic as it should be handled internally by SearchEngine implementations
+ supporting this feature. SearchEngine implementations should no longer
+ override this methods.
+* SearchEngine::replacePrefixes( $query ) should no longer be called prior
+ to running searchText/searchTitle.
+* (T199657) Messages for $wgFilterLogTypes labels should be no longer be in the
+ 'log-show-hide-[type]' format. Instead use 'logeventslist-[type]-log'.
+* Global functions wfArrayFilter() and wfArrayFilterByKey() are deprecated.
+ use array_filter() directly.
+* The $wgShowSQLErrors global is deprecated and nonfunctional.
+ Set $wgShowExceptionDetails and/or $wgShowHostnames instead.
+* The $wgShowDBErrorBacktrace global is deprecated and nonfunctional.
+ Set $wgShowExceptionDetails instead.
+* Public access to the DifferenceEngine properties mOldid, mNewid, mOldPage,
+ mNewPage, mOldContent, mNewContent, mRevisionsLoaded, mTextLoaded and
+ mCacheHit is deprecated. Use getOldid() / getNewid() for the first two,
+ do your own lookup for page/content. mNewRev / mOldRev remains public.
+* The $wgExternalDiffEngine value 'wikidiff2' is deprecated. To use wikidiff2
+ just enable the PHP extension, and it will be autodetected.
