As most of you know (hopefully), anonymous editing on mobile has been
enabled for all projects (except Korean Wikipedia). One of the side effects
of this is that there has been an increase in vandalism that uses emoji (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji). Much of this vandalism is not caught
by existing AbuseFilter filters. I encourage all projects to add new
AbuseFilter filters for detecting emoji, and either showing a warning or
preventing such edits.
The Unicode range for all emoji characters is [🌀-🙏🚀-🛳☀-➿], although you
may need to customize this for your particular project. For example, the
emoji characters ★ and ☆ are commonly used in Japanese song titles.
Feel free to steal the filter currently in use on English Wikipedia:

Objet : [Engineering] Simplifying the WMF deployment cadence

Hi all,
Starting the week of June 8th we'll be transitioning our MediaWiki +
Extensions deployment cadence to a shorter/simpler one. This will begin
with 1.26wmf9.
New cadence:
Tuesday: New branch cut, deployed to test wikis
Wednesday: deployed to non-wikipedias
Thursday: deployed to Wikipedias
This is not only a lot simpler to understand ("wait, we deploy twice on
Wednesday?") but it also shortens the time to get code to everyone (2 or
3 days from branch cut, depending on how you count).
== Transition ==
Transitions from one cadence to another are hard. Here's how we'll be
doing this transition:
Week of June 1st (next week):
* We'll complete the wmf8 rollout on June 3rd
* However, we won't be cutting wmf9 on June 3rd
Week of June 8th (in two weeks):
* We'll begin the new cadence with wmf9 on Tuesday June 9th
I hope this helps our users and developers get great new features and
fixes faster.
Greg
endnotes:
* The task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97553
* I'll be updating the relevant documentation before the transition

Why are empty digests being mailed out and how do I make it so I only get one day and only if not empty?
