'''Problems'''
* There was a problem caused by too many requests to the database on November 14. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-November/073112.html]

'''Future'''
* [[mw:MediaWiki 1.23/wmf4|MediaWiki 1.23wmf4]] was added to test wikis on November 14. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on November 19 and all Wikipedia wikis on November 21 ([[mw:MediaWiki 1.23/Roadmap|calendar]]).
* The new [[mw:Search|Search]] tool ([[mw:Search/CirrusSearchFeatures|CirrusSearch]]) will be added to <code>*.wikimedia.org</code>, Wikimania and Wikisource wikis on November 19, and Wiktionary wikis on November 21 (except where it's already available). Once it is added, you can test it by adding <code>&srbackend=CirrusSearch</code> to the address of the search results page. It will become the main search engine on Wikivoyage wikis on November 21. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-November/000494.html]
* The [[m:MassMessage|MassMessage]] tool will be added to all wikis on November 19 instead of November 14. It will make it simpler to send messages across wikis. [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-November/000488.html]
