What's making me happy this week:
* French Wikipedia administrator and OTRS volunteer 0x010C
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:0x010C> created a calendar in Lua
that works on MediaWiki. See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wik
i/Template:Events_calendar and
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pi
permail/wikimedia-l/2018-March/089886.html.
* Wikimedia Russia's multilingual writing contest regarding cities and
regions in the 2018 FIFA world cup looks interesting. I like the concept of
associating Wikipedia writing campaigns with popular current events. See

* Persian Wikipedia administrator Mohammad
<https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Mohammad>
quickly reverted (in approximately 7 minutes) an edit which inserted
cryptomining JavaScript into commons.js. See
