General notices
- The RFC discussion regarding WP:OUTING and WMF essay about paid editing and outing (see more at the ArbCom noticeboard archives) is now archived. Milieus #3 and #4 received support; so did concrete proposal #1.
- The gadget to opt-out search results from sister projects is created per discussion. Registered users may go to user preferences setup, find the opt-out option and select it.
- Search results from selected sister projects—Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage (title matches only), Wikiquote, and Wikisource—are now activated. See more at the archived RfC discussion (short summary of results).
- Correction: There was "no consensus" to include search results from Wikibooks. Therefore, a Phabricator task was filed to suppress those search results.
- Update: Another discussion resulted in "no consensus" to include Wikibooks, but the task to suppress it from the cross-wiki search results was declined. A task to sort the sister projects snippets was made instead.
- Do you have need for a specialized script that doesn't exist yet, or have an idea for a cool new script or gadget? Post requests and ideas at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests.
- Free subscriptions to high-quality paywalled journals, newspaper archives, and online reference works are available for Wikipedia editors. For more information, see Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Databases

WikiProjects and Task Forces
- The Tip of The Day department needs editors to monitor the tips before they "go live". To do this, place {{Totd-tomorrow}} on your user page or user talk page. That will show the tip a day early. When you find an inaccuracy or other problem, you can fix it yourself, or report it at the Tip of the day talk page. Thank you!
