'''<translate><!--T:4--> Future changes</translate>'''
* <translate><!--T:49--> [[w:en:Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]] 6 and 7 are no longer [[<tvar|comp>:mw:Compatibility</>|supported]]. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You [[<tvar|windows>:wikitech:HTTPS/Browser Recommendations</>|can't read]] Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else.</translate> [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232563]  
* <translate><!--T:50--> In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can [[<tvar|sectionlinks>phab:T18691</>|read more and discuss]].</translate>
