[1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307341> - The www.wiktionary.org portal page now uses an automated update system.

[2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T304629> *Problems* - The Growth team maintains a mentorship program for newcomers. Previously, newcomers weren't able to opt out from the program.
