There is a new update for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue, we discuss the introduction of more stringent limits on the length of object names, input names, and descriptions, and we take a look at the latest software developments.

Want to catch up with the previous updates? Check our archive! You might be interested in the launch of our "About" widget, a summary of our experience at Wikimania 2024, or the refinement of WasmEdge.

Also, we remind you that if you have questions or ideas to discuss, the next Volunteers' Corner will be held on September 2, at 17:30 UTC (link to the meeting).
