Dear all,
As discussed in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T311620, the PNG
rendering mode will be removed shortly. Users who selected the PNG
rendering mode will automatically be transferred to the new default
rendering mode. Please spread this information to the interested
communities.
All the best

Dear friends of math in Wikipedia,
Last year our effort was focused on improving the W3C standard MathML;
we shifted the focus this year back to the implementation of Math
rendering.
A new purely PHP and MathML-based math rendering pipeline is in the
making and will be available as an opt-in by the end of the year,
simultaneously with the shipment of MathML in the latest Chrome
version.
Since we do not want to carry on PNG images in the year 2023, we are
currently removing them from the rendering pipeline.
For 2023, we intend to improve speed and accessibility for
mathematical formulae and enable popups (similar to the popups for
references) that display semantics when hovering formulae.
All the best
André and Moritz
