*Tech News*
- Because of the holidays
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Christmas_and_holiday_season> the next
issue of Tech News will be sent out on 10 January 2022.
*Recent changes*
- Queries made by the DynamicPageList extension (<DynamicPageList>) are
now only allowed to run for 10 seconds and error if they take longer. This
is in response to multiple outages where long-running queries caused an
outage on all wikis. [1]

*Changes later this week*
- There is no new MediaWiki version this week or next week.
*Future changes*
- The developers of the Wikipedia iOS app are looking for testers who
edit in multiple languages. You can read more and let them know if you
are interested
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/iOS/202112_testing>.
- [image: Advanced item] The Wikimedia Cloud VPS
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Cloud_VPS> hosts technical
projects for the Wikimedia movement. Developers need to claim projects
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2021_Purge> they
use. This is because old and unused projects are removed once a year.
Unclaimed projects can be shut down from February. [2]
