*Recent changes*
- A daily email summary of notifications could be sent even when there
were no notifications from the wiki. Now no email will be sent if there is
no activity. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137012>
*Changes this week*
- The "Cite" button in the visual editor's toolbar will move into the
"Insert" menu except for Wikipedias, Wikibookses and Wikiversities. This is
to make it less prominent on wikis that don't use it as much. [2]
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/296573/>
