The full calendar for next week lives at: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_May_20th For the week of May 6th we have the following interesting deployments: == All Week == * Due to a security update to the Linux kernel, we will be upgrading and rebooting ALL machines throughout the week. This may affect your experience with some services, but it should be minimal. == Monday == * VisualEditor will be deploy a new extension, TemplateData, to all Wikipedias (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44444>) in addition to a VisualEditor configuration change on mediawiki.org (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48430>). * English Wikipedia will be updated to MediaWiki version 1.22wmf4, in addition to a WikiData client update on English Wikipedia. See <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/Roadmap> * An update to HTCP purging will be rolled out by the WMF Operations team which might create momentary issues with some thumbnails. Please report any issues you experience. == Wednesday == * The rest of the Wikipedias will be updated to MediaWiki 1.22wmf4, thus completing the roll out of that version. The next version, 1.22wmf5, will start on Monday May 27th.
