Recent changes
- The Wikimedia Commons mobile app has a new version. It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [1]
Problems
The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [2]
The Changes later this week
- The advanced search function beta feature will be available on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [3]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 5월. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 5월. It will be on all wikis from 10 5월 (calendar).

Future changes
- All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 16 May. Other wikis will switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [4][5]
