*Problems*
- Last week, for ~15 minutes, all wikis were unreachable for logged-in users and non-cached pages. This was caused by a timing issue. [1] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incidents/2023-01-17_MediaWiki
*Changes later this week*
- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/wmf.20 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 January. It will be on all wikis from 26 January (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/Roadmap). - If you have the Beta Feature for DiscussionTools https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk_pages_project enabled, the appearance of talk pages will add more information about discussion activity.
