Phil, Patrick, Max, and Asher worked together to prep the sibling projects to become mobile default. Phil used the global messaging to notify all affected village pumps about the change. Patrick, Max, and Asher refined our squid mobile redirector to allow for new projects and enabled it for Wiktionary, Wikinews, and Wikisource.
