Ambassadors' support is appreciated to make sure nothing falls in the cracks. 1) The new version of MediaWiki which is scheduled to go into production tomorrow involves an extra <div> tag wrapping HTML served from the MediaWiki wikitext parser [1]. Please notify the team on Phabricator [2] in case issues with the extra <div> tag arise (not necessarily gadgets-related): it will be watched by people who can help you evaluate and assist you with any necessary fixes. We really appreciate the translators' assistance with the (unfortunately) last minute heads-up [3]. 2) Some code fixes to the preprocessor should go live as well and they may, in certain cases, break markup that looks like code for language variants [4]. This has been flagged lately in Tech News and most fixes have already occurred (you can check the current status at [5]), so I wanted to take some time to properly thank those who volunteered so far. In particular, a special mention should go to DePiep who single-handedly fixed articles at some of the biggest wikis, and provided insights and feedback into the process. I'd like to extend the team's and my gratitude, in no particular order, also to Thiemo Mättig (WMDE), Vriullop, VIGNERON, Thurs, MarcoSwart, Lsanabria, Amire 80, IKhitron and whoever contributed their time and knowledge so far. My team is going to be involved in some work that may cause breaking changes this year, so any feedback is appreciated on our talk page.
