- Parsoid Read Views is going to be rolling out to most Wiktionaries over the next few weeks (phab:T385923), following the successful transition of Wikivoyage to Parsoid Read Views last quarter (phab:T371640). For more information, see mw:Parsoid/Parser Unification.
- When a Cite reference is reused many times, wikis currently show either numbers like "1.23" or localized alphabetic markers like "a b c" in the reference list. If there are so many reuses that the markers are exhausted, the
cite_error_references_no_backlink_label
error was displayed. As part of work to modernize Cite customization (phab:T383036), these errors will no longer be shown and instead the backlinks will fall back to showing numeric markers like "1.23" when the alphabet is exhausted. - View all NNN community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
