 Introducing new and improved Domain Namespinning from WHMCS.  WHMCS Namespinning ranks and returns relevant domain name suggestions across a wide range of TLDs to help drive more domain registrations.  Utilising machine learning technology, WHMCS Namespinning delivers more relevant suggestions by working to understand the context of your customer’s queries, delivers marketing leading speed and performance plus has multi-language support.  WHMCS Namespinning is being made available free of charge to all WHMCS users.
-WHMCS Namespinning is enabled by default for new installations.  On upgrade, if you are currently using the WHMCS Standard WHOIS, you will be automatically upgraded to use the new Domain Namespinning feature.  To change this behaviour, navigate to '''Setup > Products/Services > Domain Pricing''' and click ''Change'' in the ''Lookup Provider'' section after upgrading.

 Domain availability lookup and domain name suggestions continues to be a distinct feature from domain order fulfillment. You can use WHMCS Namespinning with any registrar.
 === Font Awesome 5 ===
-There are a significant number of changes to the naming and styling of icons, and while we've done our best to minimise changes, there are a number of template changes required by the Font Awesome 5 migration.
+There are a significant number of changes to the naming and styling of icons, and while we've done our best to minimise changes, there are a number of template changes required by the [[Font Awesome 5]] migration.
 It is important to take care to apply all of these changes to your custom templates to avoid missing or broken icons.  You can learn more how to upgrade your customisations by reviewing the Font Awesome [https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/upgrading-from-version-4 Upgrading from version 4] document.  If you desire, Font Awesome does provide a [https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/upgrading-from-version-4#shims shim] that can dynamically convert v4 style to v5 style on page load, however we do not recommend this for long term usage due to the potential for visual, behavior, and performance impacts.
 === New MaxMind Functionality ===
-WHMCS 7.6 includes changes to the MaxMind module, including the update to a newer MaxMind API, which requires a MaxMind User ID to be provided for authentication. If MaxMind is enabled in WHMCS, you '''must''' enter your MaxMind User ID for fraud checking to continue functioning. Failure to enter the User ID will result in MaxMind API requests failing. It is important to note that a MaxMind fraud check failure due to bad user credentials results being treated as a fraud check pass.
