the user was autopromoted into.

* (T363538, T204792) New parser functions {{#iwlink:prefix|title|caption}}

interlanguage links, respectively, even when the "prefix" might conflict
with a namespace on the local wiki.

deprecation warnings. Use service access to the ChangeTagsStore instead:
addTags(), defineTag(), deleteTagEverywhere(), getDisplayTableName(),

listExplicitlyDefinedTags(), listSoftwareActivatedTags(),
listSoftwareDefinedTags(), makeTagSummarySubquery(), modifyDisplayQuery(),

== Mailing list ==
A mailing list is available for MediaWiki user support and discussion:

<https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/>
It's highly recommended that you sign up for one of these lists if you're
going to run a public MediaWiki, so you can be notified of security fixes.
