* Creating and editing links to sections on other pages on the wiki now works again in the visual editor. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112898]

* For some users, cross-wiki notifications haven't been working properly. The count has been wrong when only cross-wiki notifications were present. The cross-wiki bundle has been showing only the names of wikis and not the actual notifications. This will be fixed soon.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70071][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70077]

*The visual editor will be available by default for logged-out editors on Wikipedias that use the Arabic script. It is already default for logged-in editors. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142587]
