Recent changes
 * A new image scaler fixed a number of bugs for showing SVG files. Some new problems turned up.
 * Notifications are grouped by types. They are now counted by number of notifications and not by unread groups. That change may increase the number of notifications displayed. The earlier way of counting was often incorrect. Unread notifications will also be displayed first.
 * Special:Notifications now has a maximum width for the notifications list on desktop computers. This allows long titles and descriptions to be cut properly. Notifications are now also better parsed.

Problems
 * On 5 July Wikimedia Commons had problems and could not be edited for 20 minutes. For a short while after that the recent changes log and some gadgets were not working properly. It affected administrative actions on other projects too.
 * Users who have multiple unread notifications can mark them as read by visiting Special:Notifications page on their wiki.

Changes this week
 * Octicons-sync.svg The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 July. It will be on all wikis from 14 July (calendar).

Meetings
 * Octicons-sync.svg You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 July at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:31, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Strange thing happening
Celestinesucess, (Reaching you here to avoid cluttering your talk page.) I received some messages claiming that I reviewed particular articles (and they were just following up). E.g. about the article named "Rajni Tiwari". Actually I haven't touched any of those said articles before. When I checked, those articles were reviewed by you. I am not sure why anybody would get our usernames mixed up since they are not even similar in spelling at all. Might you know anything about this confusion? Thanks <font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#FF0000 0.1em 0.1em 1.5em,#01EE796D -0.1em -0.1em 1.5em;color:#00000F"><font color="#01EE796D">—M@sssly <font color="#FFEG0000">✉ 11:44, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
