The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 January. It will be on non-Misplaced Pages wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 January. It will be on all wikis from 1 February (calendar). 
On February 1, a link will be added to the "Tools" menu to download a QR code that links to the page you are viewing. There will also be a new Special:QrCode page to create QR codes for any Wikimedia URL. This addresses the #19 most-voted wish from the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. 
Gadgets which only work in some skins have sometimes used the targetsoption to limit where you can use them. This will stop working this week. You should use theskinsoption instead.
