*Weekly highlight*

- The CampaignEvents extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents has been enabled on all Wikipedias. The extension makes it easier to organize and participate in collaborative activities, like edit-a-thons and WikiProjects, on the wikis. The extension has three features: Event Registration https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Event_Center/Registration, Collaboration List https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list, and Invitation List https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list.

*Updates for editors*

- AbuseFilter maintainers can now match against IP reputation data https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:IPReputation/AbuseFilter_variables in AbuseFilters https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:AbuseFilter. IP reputation data is information about the proxies and VPNs associated with the user's IP address. This data is not shown publicly and is not generated for actions performed by registered accounts. [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T354599 - Hidden content that is within collapsible parts of wikipages https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Collapsible_elements will now be revealed when someone searches the page using the web browser's "Find in page" function (Ctrl+F or ⌘F) in supporting browsers. [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T327893[3] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Global_attributes/hidden#browser_compatibility - A new feature, called Favourite Templates https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData/Template_discovery, will be deployed later this week on all projects (except English Wikipedia, which will receive the feature next week), following a piloting phase on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and Italian and English Wikisource. The feature will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, by allowing users to put templates on a special "favourite list". The feature works with both the visual editor and the wikitext editor. The feature is a community wishlist focus area https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery . - View all 31 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks.
