Recent changes- Advanced item Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. - Advanced item Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the  option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. - Advanced item Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. - You can now thank edits made by bots. - An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published.

Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. - Advanced item The jquery.cookie module was deprecated and replaced with the mediawiki.cookie module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. 
Future changes- Wikimedia Deutschland is working to make reusing references easier. They are looking for people who are interested in participating in  individual video calls for user research in January and February.

Recent changes
*The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
*On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". 
Changes later this week- Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from en. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from en. It will be on all wikis from en (calendar). - Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. 
Future changes- 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings.

Recent changes- The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis.  Research  shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. - Advanced item The mw.config value wgGlobalGroups now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is: if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups"))).

If you encounter any issues, please indicate in this ticket.-  Advanced item Gadgets allow interface admins to create custom features with CSS and JavaScript.

Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. 
*The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. - Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost.
