*Updates for editors*

- The Reader Experience team https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Experience has developed a patch demo https://82db7c8d4b.catalyst.wmcloud.org/w/index.php?title=Regent%27s_Park&uselang=de that wraps the page toolbar onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, which can occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T429518 - The Reader Experience team is planning to launch Reading Lists https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Experience/Reading_lists, a Community Wishlist item https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021/Mobile_and_apps/Have_Apps_reading_lists_available_on_Destop/Mobile, which is currently available to try in beta, as a full feature in September. Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for string translations https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-readinglists&filter=&action=translate into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia. - Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332644 - View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks. For example, an issue where some TIFF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF images failed to load after clicking their thumbnail, causing a broken image to be displayed instead of the full-size image, has now been fixed.

*Updates for technical contributors*

- The variable and function selector in AbuseFilter has been updated to support search and autocomplete. It will allow filter maintainers to find the desired variable or function more quickly. [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T323698 - The MJPEG and VP8 formats are removed from the video player. The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 2) is added instead, which provides higher quality videos to older iPhone devices. It may take a few weeks to retroactively update all existing videos. The default format for modern devices stays the same (VP9/WebM).
