*Recent changes*
- The Unified login https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Unified_login system's edge login should now be fixed for some browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera). This means that if you visit a new sister project wiki, you should be logged in automatically without the need to click "Log in" or reload the page. Feedback on whether it's working for you is welcome. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T347889 - Edit notices https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Interface/Edit_notice are now available within the MobileFrontend/Minerva skin. This feature was inspired by the gadget on English Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikipedia:EditNoticesOnMobile. See more details in T316178 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316178.
*Changes later this week*
