Problems
- The Linter extension helps you find technical errors in articles. It did not show new changes last week. This was because of an API problem. It is now working again. [3]
- Special:Watchlist can show the wrong information again. It does not always show which edits are read and which are unread. This is because of a database problem. The developers are working on solving the problem. [4]
Changes later this week
- You can get email notifications. You can get them immediately, a summary every day or a summary once every week. If you choose a summary you can soon choose not to get notifications you have already marked as read on the wiki. [5]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 December. It will be on all wikis from 19 December (calendar).

ACC
Hi Josve05a! I saw your request on the ACC channel on IRC. Per your request, I've restored access to your ACC account, the ACC -accounts channel on IRC, I subscribed the email address I have on file for you for ACC emails, and granted you the account creator user right. If you need assistance with accessing your ACC tool user account, let me know and I'll be happy to fix what's needed and get you in. Welcome back! I'm happy that you're back on the team! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:16, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
