Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/25> are available. Recent changes - [image: Advanced item] Toolforge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolforge> hosts several tools created by the Wikimedia community like edit counters or enhanced editors. It is changing the domain from tools.wmflabs.org to toolforge.org. The routing scheme is moving from tools.wmflabs.org/toolname to toolname.toolforge.org. You can read the details <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Toolforge.org>. Tools that use OAuth will have to be updated to keep working. You can ask for help <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Cloud_Services_Introduction>. Problems - There is a Wikidata item link in the sidebar on many pages. This disappeared for a couple of days for users who have the Monobook <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Skin:MonoBook> skin. This was because of a bug. It has now been fixed. [1] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T254485> - Editing, logging in and logging out didn't work properly for a short period of time last week. It was soon fixed. [2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255179> Changes later this week - [image: Recurrent item] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/wmf.37> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 June. It will be on all wikis from 18 June (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/Roadmap>). Future changes - [image: Advanced item] Pywikibot <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Pywikibot> is a Python library <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Library_(computing)> to automate work on wikis. It will not support Python 2 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Python_(programming_language)> after the new version in July. Support for Python 3.4 and MediaWiki below 1.19 will also be dropped. You should migrate to Python 3. You can ask for help <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242120>.
