@Tgr user-notice was added and I am following up if this will this be useful to communicate via Tech News? If yes, how can we word it?

Hello, how might we word this for Tech News?

Is this wording better?

@Cparle I will rewrite this into one paragraph, thanks for the prompt response!

@Cparle I want to include this in the Tech News going out on Monday Nov 3. How should I word this for an entry?

Regarding Tech News, I will move forward with this draft with @Bawolff's additional graph example in the manual. Thanks all.

@ppelberg @DLynch this version of the entry has been accepted, should it be added to this week's draft of Tech News? It will be published on Monday 03 November. Is this timeline good for you?

@A_smart_kitten thanks for catching that.

@MusikAnimal we can start working on a draft for Tech News until it's ready to be published. Can you suggest the best wording please?

@Nemoralis @stjn @Quiddity how does this sound for Tech News?:

For Tech News, if I understand correctly this is almost ready to go but still waiting on a configuration patch (therefore I will wait till next week to include this).

@DLynch thank you
@Quiddity entry has been queued for #44 with link to interface string name.

If you want to mention it anyway, maybe something like

A session store is a database used to remember users of a website between successive page loads. Wikimedia is splitting its session store into separate instances for anonymous and logged-in users, to reduce the risk of web scrapers interfering with logged-in users' usage of the sites. There should be no visible changes.

or if that's too long,
