*Recent changes*

- Purging https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Purge a category page with fewer than 5,000 members will now recount it completely. This will allow editors to fix incorrect counts when it is wrong. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85696

*Changes later this week*

- The new version https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.38/wmf.22 of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 15 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 16 February. It will be on all wikis from 17 February (calendar https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.38/Roadmap). - [image: Advanced item] In the AbuseFilter https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter extension, the rmspecials() function has been updated so that it does not remove the "space" character. Wikis are advised to wrap all the uses of rmspecials() with rmwhitespace() wherever necessary to keep filters' behavior unchanged. You can use the search function on Special:AbuseFilter https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter to locate its usage. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263024
