 ### Mixin
 
+* [ENHANCEMENT] Unify ingester autoscaling panels on 'Mimir / Writes' dashboard to work for both ingest-storage and non-ingest-storage autoscaling. #9617
 * [BUGFIX] Dashboards: Fix autoscaling metrics joins when series churn. #9412 #9450 #9432
 * [BUGFIX] Alerts: Fix autoscaling metrics joins in `MimirAutoscalerNotActive` when series churn. #9412
