*Recent changes*

- At Wikidata, an interwiki link can now point to a redirect page if certain conditions are met. This new feature is called sitelinks to redirects https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Sitelinks_to_redirects. It is needed when one wiki uses one page to cover multiple concepts but another wiki uses more pages to cover the same concepts. Your feedback on the talkpage https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata_talk:Sitelinks_to_redirects of the new proposed guideline is welcome. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278962 - The www.wikinews.org, www.wikiversity.org, and www.wikivoyage.org portal pages now use an automated update system. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273179

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/wmf.10 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 November. It will be on all wikis from 17 November (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/Roadmap). - There will be a new link to directly "Edit template data" on Template pages.

*Future changes*

- Wikis where mobile DiscussionTools https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools are enabled (these ones https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk_pages_project/Deployment_Status) will soon use full CSS styling to display any templates that are placed at the top of talk pages. To adapt these “talk page boxes” for narrow mobile devices you can use media queries, such as in this example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Message_box/tmbox.css&oldid=1097618699#L-69. [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T312309 - Starting in January 2023, Community Tech https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Tech will be running the Community Wishlist Survey (CWS) every two years https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Updates/2023_Changes_Update. This means that in 2024, there will be no new proposals or voting.
