[1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T273179> *Problems* - Last week, some wikis were in read-only mode for a few minutes because of an emergency switch of their main database (targeted wikis <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s7.dblist>). [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313383> *Changes later this week* - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/wmf.22> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 July.
