*Recent changes*

- Wikis using the Growth team tools https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Feature_summary can now show the name of a newcomer's mentor anywhere through a magic word https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Growth/Mentorship/Integrating_mentorship. This can be used for welcome messages or userboxes. - A new version of the VideoCutTool https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:VideoCutTool is now available. It enables cropping, trimming, audio disabling, and rotating video content. It is being created as part of the developer outreach programs.

*Problems*

- There was a problem with the job queue https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Job_queue. This meant some functions did not save changes and mass messages were delayed. This did not affect wiki edits. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275437 - Some editors may not be logged in to their accounts automatically in the latest versions of Firefox and Safari.
