Future changes
- The Wikimedia wikis use templates to show readers there are problems with the content on some pages. For example if there are no sources or the page needs to be rewritten. The mobile website will soon show more information when you use these templates. Some templates may need to be updated.

- The
Education Program extension
was removed from all Wikimedia projects. The
database tables
used by the extension will be archived. This will happen in a month. If you want the information on your wiki you should move it to a normal wiki page.
