Hi everybody!
A couple of weeks ago we started switching the backend used by the ORES
extension which is used by the Recent Changes filters.
After fixing the issue that was caused in some wikis (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T343308) the Machine Learning team
started rolling out the change again.
We have already deployed the changes to *fiwiki* and *itwiki* and will
continue with the rest of the wikis starting from next week.
This change is using Lift Wing (
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/LiftWing) to get
revision scores instead of ORES, and is a necessary step in the process of
deprecating ORES (for more info please refer to the "ORES to Lift Wing
Migration
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EK65B7QCQHEG37C2ERPIUSP64OX3ZEUJ/>"
email).
The purpose of this change is to use *exactly* the same models which are
also deployed on Lift Wing so there shouldn't be anything different for our
users.
If however you see anything out of the ordinary, feel free to contact
the Machine Learning team:

Phabricator: Machine-Learning-team tag
Thank you!
