*Recent changes*
- There are sometimes links to pages about the same thing on other Wikimedia projects. A Wikipedia article about Berlin can link to the Wikivoyage guide or Wiktionary entry about Berlin. You can now see when that page has a badge. A badge could be the star that shows that an article is a featured article. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T73887
*Changes this week*
- [image: Octicons-sync.svg] The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.30/wmf.9 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 July. It will be on all wikis from 13 July (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.30/Roadmap).
*Meetings*
- [image: Octicons-sync.svg] You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 July at 19:00 (UTC) http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=19&min=00&sec=0&day=11&month=07&year=2017. See how to join https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing_team/Weekly_triage_meetings.
*Future changes*
- Mobile users will be able to edit Wikipedia without JavaScript. This will make it possible to edit the wikis from older mobile phones. This will probably happen on 18 July for most wikis. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T125174 - We will not use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy/FAQ Tidy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:HTML_Tidy on Wikimedia wikis in the future. It will be replaced by June 2018. It could be earlier. Editors will need to fix pages that could break.
