*Recent changes*
- The Unified login
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Unified_login>
system's edge login should now be fixed for some browsers (Chrome, Edge,
Opera). This means that if you visit a new sister project wiki, you should
be logged in automatically without the need to click "Log in" or reload the
page. Feedback on whether it's working for you is welcome. [1]

- Edit notices
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interface/Edit_notice>

will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 October. It will
be on all wikis from 19 October (calendar
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.41/Roadmap>).
*Future changes*

you notice tools that should appear next to the "Discussion" tab are then
missing, please tell the gadget's maintainers to see instructions in the
