*Recent changes*
- If you have the "Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is
changed" option enabled, edits by bot accounts no longer trigger
notification emails. Previously, only minor edits would not trigger the
notification emails. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356984>
- There are changes to how user and site scripts load for Vector 2022
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Vector/2022> on
specific wikis. The changes impacted the following Wikis: all
projects with Vector
legacy <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:Vector> as
the default skin, Wikivoyage, and Wikibooks. Other wikis will be affected
over the course of the next three months. Gadgets are not impacted. If you
have been affected or want to minimize the impact on your project, see this
ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T357580>. Please coordinate
and take action proactively.
- Newly auto-created accounts (the accounts you get when you visit a new
wiki) now have the same local notification preferences as users who freshly
register on that wiki. It is effected in four notification types listed in
the task's description <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T353225>.
- The maximum file size when using Upload Wizard
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Upload_Wizard>
is
now 5 GiB. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191804>

- Selected tools on the grid engine have been stopped
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Toolforge_Grid_Engine_deprecation>
as
we prepare to shut down the grid on March 14th, 2024. The tool's code and
data have not been deleted. If you are a maintainer and you want your tool
re-enabled reach out to the team
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/About_Toolforge#Communication_and_support>.
Only tools that have asked for extension are still running on the grid.
- The CSS filter
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/filter> property can
now be used in HTML style attributes in wikitext. [5]
