*Updates for editors*

- Editors who use password managers at multiple wikis may notice changes in the future. The way that our wikis provide information to password managers about reusing passwords across domains has recently been updated, so some password managers might now offer you login credentials that you saved for a different Wikimedia site. Some password managers already did this, and are now doing it for more Wikimedia domains. This is part of the SUL3 project https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki_Platform_Team/SUL3 which aims to improve how our unified login works, and to keep it compatible with ongoing changes to the web-browsers we use. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T385520[2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T384844 - The Wikipedia Apps Team is inviting interested users to help improve Wikipedia’s offline and limited internet use. After discussions in Afrika Baraza https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Afrika_Baraza and the last ESEAP call https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/ESEAP_Hub/Meetings, key challenges like search, editing, and offline access are being explored, with upcoming focus groups to dive deeper into these topics. All languages are welcome, and interpretation will be available. Want to share your thoughts? Join the discussion https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Improving_Wikipedia_Mobile_Apps_for_Offline_%26_Limited_Internet_Use or email aramadan@wikimedia.org! - All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 19. This is planned at 14:00 UTC https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742392800. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. - [image: Recurrent item] View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks .

*In depth*

- The latest quarterly Growth newsletter https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Newsletters/33 is available. It includes: the launch of the Community Updates module, the most recent changes in Community Configuration, and the upcoming test of in-article suggestions for first-time editors. - An old API that was previously used in the Android Wikipedia app is being removed at the end of March. There are no current software uses, but users of the app with a version that is older than 6 months by the time of removal (2025-03-31), will no longer have access to the Suggested Edits feature, until they update their app. You can read more details about this change https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/02/24/sunset-of-wikimedia-recommendation-api/ .
