*Recent changes*

   - On many wikis <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/dblists/group1.dblist>
   (group 1), the software to play videos and audio files on pages has now
   changed. The old player has been removed. Some audio players will become
   wider after this change. The new player
   
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:TimedMediaHandler/VideoJS_Player>
   has been a beta feature for over four years. [1]

*Changes later this week*

   - The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/wmf.9>
   of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 April. It will
   be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 April. It will be on
   all wikis from 28 April (calendar
   <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.39/Roadmap>).
   - Some wikis will be in read-only for a few minutes because of a switch
   of their main database. It will be performed on 26 April at 07:00
UTC (targeted
   wikis
   <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/s2.dblist>).
   - Some very old browsers and operating systems are no longer supported.
   Some things on the wikis might look weird or not work in very old browsers
   like Internet Explorer 9 or 10, Android 4, or Firefox 38 or older. [1]
