*Recent changes*

- Notifications were not always marked as read when you followed a link from an email notification. This will now happen. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137488

*Changes this week*

- The list of other languages an article is available in will be shorter on small Wikipedias and non-Wikipedia projects. This is to make it easier to find the most relevant languages for each user. You will still be able to see the other languages. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136677[3] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Design/Interlanguage_links - Alerts (the red badge) will not be automatically marked as read when you open the Notifications popup. [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132525 - When you get several thanks you can see them as one notification. This is instead of one notification for each thanks.
