*Recent changes*

- In the Vector 2022 skin, the default font-size of a number of navigational elements (tagline, tools menu, navigational links, and more) has been increased slightly to match the font size used in page content. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T346062

*Problems*

- Last week, there was a problem displaying some recent edits on a few wikis https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s5.dblist, for 1-6 hours. The edits were saved but not immediately shown. This was due to a database problem. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T350443

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/wmf.4 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 November. It will be on all wikis from 9 November (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.42/Roadmap). - The Growth team will reassign newcomers from former mentors to the currently active mentors https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Structured_mentor_list. They have also changed the notification language to be more user-friendly. [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T330071[4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T327493
