 - Add new configuration setting `synonym_analyzer`, to the `synonym` and `synonym_graph` filters, enabling the specification of a custom analyzer for reading the synonym file ([#16488](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/16488)).
 - Add stats for remote publication failure and move download failure stats to remote methods([#16682](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/16682/))
 - Added a precaution to handle extreme date values during sorting to prevent `arithmetic_exception: long overflow` ([#16812](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/16812)).
-- Add `verbose_pipeline` parameter to output each processor's execution details ([#14745](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/14745)).
+- Add `verbose_pipeline` parameter to output each processor's execution details ([#16843](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/16843)).
 - Add search replica stats to segment replication stats API ([#16678](https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/pull/16678))
