Someone has changed the label for links to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Gerrit/Tutorial. See
example on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit under "Getting started". I
tried to fix it myself, but it's a bit of a mess of translation and
templates that I couldn't make sense of. Can someone who knows these things
please fix it?
PS. I post here rather than on the wiki since the appropriate talk page
hasn't seen any activity in many months while this mailing list usually
receives swift replies🙂

Hello,
I'm trying to make
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MagicNumberedHeadings working,
having in mind that Parser method setNumberHeadings is removed from
MediaWiki.
This is my code so far https://github.com/kizule/NumberedHeadings, and it's
not doing anything, I would love to get some suggestions on how to make it
work.
Currently, it's not doing anything (
https://oer.opendeved.net/wiki/OER4Schools), it should remove the tag from
the page, and make headings numbered where the tag is added.
I've used Krinkle's snippet from MediaWiki.org in form of gadgets, and it's
working fine, but it's not removing tag and it is being executed on every
single page.
Best regards,
Zoran

Hey all,
This is a quick note to highlight that in six weeks' time, the REL1_39
branch will be created for MediaWiki core and each of the extensions and
skins in Wikimedia git, with some (the 'tarball') included as sub-modules
of MediaWiki itself[0]. This is the first step in the release process for
MediaWiki 1.39, which should be out in November 2022, approximately
six months after MediaWiki 1.38.
The branches will reflect the code as of the last 'alpha' branch for the
release, 1.39.0-wmf.28, which will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis in the
week beginning 12 September 2022 for MediaWiki itself and those extensions
and skins available there.
After that point, patches that land in the main development branch of
MediaWiki and its bundled extensions and skins will be slated for the
MediaWiki 1.40 release unless specifically backported[1].
If you are working on a new feature that you wish to land for the release,
you now have a few days to finish your work and land it in the development
branch; feature changes should not be backported except in an urgent case.
If your work might not be complete in time, and yet should block release
for everyone else, please file a task against the `mw-1.39-release` project
on Phabricator.[2]
If you have tickets that are already tagged for `mw-1.39-release`, please
finish them, untag them, or reach out to get them resolved in the next few
weeks.
We hope to issue the first release candidate, 1.39.0-rc.0, two weeks after
the branch point, and if all goes well, to release MediaWiki 1.39.0 a few
weeks after that.
