Below is the English version.

You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about
Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you
can add it to the next newsletter at <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next>.

More information on how to contribute is available at <

Latest *tech news
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the
Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes.
Not all changes will affect you. Translations
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2020/28> are
available.

*Problems*

   - The Score
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Score>
extension
   has been disabled for now. This is because of a security issue. It will
   work again as soon as the security issue has been fixed. [1]
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257066>

*Changes later this week*

   - [image: Recurrent item] The new version
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/wmf.40> of MediaWiki will
   be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia
   wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 July. It will be on all wikis from 9 July (
   calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.35/Roadmap>).

*Future changes*

   - Abstract Wikipedia is a new Wikimedia project. It will collect
   language-independent information that can be easily read in different
   languages. It builds on Wikidata. The name is preliminary. You can read
   more
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Abstract_Wikipedia>.

   - The iOS Wikipedia app
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS> developers are
   thinking about new experimental tools. If you use an iPhone you can help
   them by answering the survey
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/2020_survey>.
   - Some rules for user signatures
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_requirements_for_user_signatures#Outcome>
will
   soon be enforced. Lint errors
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors> and invalid HTML
   will no longer be allowed in user signatures. Nested substitution will not
   be allowed. A link to your user page, user talk page or user contributions
   will be required. You can check if your signature works with the new
   rules <https://signatures.toolforge.org/check>. This is because the
   signatures can cause problems for tools or other text on the page.
