*Problems*

- On wikis where patrolled edits are enabled, changes made to the mentor list https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Communities/How_to_configure_the_mentors%27_list by autopatrolled mentors are not correctly marked as patrolled. It will be fixed later this week. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328444

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/wmf.23 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 February. It will be on all wikis from 16 February (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.40/Roadmap). - The Reply tool and other parts of DiscussionTools https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:DiscussionTools#Mobile will be deployed for all editors using the mobile site. You can read more about this decision https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk_pages_project/Mobile#Status_Updates. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298060
