*Recent changes*

- It is now possible to easily view most of the configuration settings
that apply to just one wiki, and to compare settings between two wikis if
those settings are different. For example: Japanese Wiktionary settings
<https://noc.wikimedia.org/wiki.php?wiki=jawiktionary>, or settings that
are different between the Spanish and Esperanto Wikipedias
<https://noc.wikimedia.org/wiki.php?wiki=eswiki&compare=eowiki>. Local
communities may want to discuss and propose changes
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes>
to their local settings. Details about each of the named settings can be
found by searching
MediaWiki.org
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Search>. [2]
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308932>
- The Anti-Harassment Tools team recently deployed
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation/IP_Info_feature#May>
the IP Info Feature as a Beta Feature at all wikis
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures>.
This feature allows abuse fighters to access information about IP
addresses. Please check our update on how to find and use the tool
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_Mitigation/IP_Info_feature#April>.
Please share your feedback using a link you will be given within the tool
itself.

UTC (targeted
wikis
<https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s3.dblist>).
