The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.

	'''Updates for editors'''
	* Misplaced Pages readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's ] and ].
	* Later this month, logged-out editors of ] will start to have ] created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new ]. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them.

	* View all {{formatnum:33}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:33\|task\|tasks}} that were ]. For example, the ], ], ], ] and ] Misplaced Pages languages were created last week.
	* It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new ] launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in ].

	'''Updates for technical contributors'''
	* ] Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new <code dir="ltr">{{]:…}}</code> parser function. For example, <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{#timef:now\|date\|en}}</nowiki></code> will show as "<bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">{{#timef:now\|date\|en}}</bdi>". Previously, <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{#time:…}}</nowiki></code> could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. <code dir="ltr">#timef</code> (or <code dir="ltr">#timefl</code> for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta.
	* ] Commons and Meta users can now efficiently ] using <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{USERLANGUAGE}}</nowiki></code> instead of using <code dir="ltr"><nowiki>{{int:lang}}</nowiki></code>.
	* The ] (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the ] initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform.
