*Recent changes*

   - Some musical score syntax no longer works and may needed to be
   updated, you can check Category:Pages with score rendering errors
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pages_with_score_rendering_errors>
on
   your wiki for a list of pages with errors.

*Problems*

   - Musical scores were unable to render lyrics in some languages because
   of missing fonts. This has been fixed now. If your language would prefer a
   different font, please file a request in Phabricator. [1]

*Changes later this week*

   - [image: Advanced item] The parameters for how you obtain tokens
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Tokens> in the MediaWiki API were
   changed in 2014. The old way will no longer work from 1 September. Scripts,
   bots and tools that use the parameters from before the 2014 change need to
   be updated. You can read more
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280806#7215377> about this.
   - [image: Recurrent item] The new version
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.37/wmf.21> of MediaWiki will
   be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 August. It will be on
   non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 September. It will be on all
   wikis from 2 September (calendar
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.37/Roadmap>).

*Future changes*

   - You will be able to read but not edit Commons
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289660> for a few minutes on 6
   September. This will happen around 05:00 UTC
   <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1630818058>. This is for database
   maintenance.
   - All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes in the week of 13
   September. More information will be published in Tech News later. It will
   also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [2]
