*Recent changes*
- The development of Wikidata Bridge https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata_Bridge has started. The goal is to allow Wikidata edits from Wikipedia. [1] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2019-June/013216.html
*Problems*
- Sometimes pages load slowly for users routed to the Amsterdam data center. Investigation is in progress. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226048 - Wikidata query service was overloaded between 11:50 UTC until 13:15 UTC on June 24. It has been fixed.

*Changes later this week*
- You will be able to read but not to edit all wikis for a short amount of time, on 3 July at 06:00 (UTC). This is to move a database. [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T226358 - There is no deployment of a new version of MediaWiki on the wikis this week (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.34/Roadmap).
