@CCiufo-WMF Possibly! I believe the team already communicated directly with the 40 affected wikis in this batch. Is there anything specific that editors at other wikis need to be aware of, next week?

I ask partially because next week's edition is already very long/large, so I'm being extra-careful about not overloading the translators or the readers with lower-priority entries.

If you do still want an entry (in either this upcoming week's edition, or a further-future edition) then suggested-draft-wording is always very helpful and appreciated! The last broad announcement was in this edition, in case you want to simply reuse that wording and change the keywords (I.e. re-using near-identical content makes it easier for translators).

Is there anything specific that editors at other wikis need to be aware of, next week?

We do plan on rolling out to at least another 30 wikis in the coming weeks so it's probably worth as much of a heads up as possible, even though we'll be sending out a MassMessage to any wiki we plan on enabling it on directly.

I'll draft a message.
