    • We are considering removing newline stripping in image captions. See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/425726/
    • In https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T192037 we are beginning to make wikitext handling a bit more uniform across extensions and outside extensions, so there are fewer surprises / edge cases. That is yet to be flushed out, but is an advance heads up.
    • Tidy removal is going apace -- another 40+ wikis will switch next week.

Increase code sharing of client apps by coalescing and moving more logic to the server.
