It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 August. It will be on all wikis from 8 August (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.34/Roadmap>). *Problems* - A change in RelatedArticles extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RelatedArticles> accidentally enabled it for everyone, not just for mobile users. This has been fixed. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181242>[2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T229644> *Meetings* - [image: Recurrent item] [image: Advanced item] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 August at 15:00 (UTC) <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190807T15>. See how to join <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting>. *Future changes* - Today everyone can see IP addresses <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:IP_addresses> if someone edits without an account. In the future this could be more hidden. This is to protect unregistered editors so fewer can see their IP address. This would only happen after we make sure the tools for vandal fighting can still be effective.
