*Updates for editors*

- Featured templates https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData/Template_discovery#Featured_templates, a new feature related to Template Recall and Discovery https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery will be deployed this week to all Wikimedia projects: With this feature, editors will be able to quickly access a list of templates that are likely to be useful. These templates will be displayed in a list, under the "featured" tab of the template discovery interface. Administrators can define the list via the Community Configuration interface. The feature fulfills a request by the community through the Community Wishlist https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Wishes/Easy_access_Templates .
