Recent changes
Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.
The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [1]
Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [10]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May (calendar). [11][12]
Hope you're well! Thank you for volunteering to be a mentor.
Currently working on Arizona State University ecologist Osvaldo Sala's page, which has been tagged with the "written like a resume" label. Having now read the guide and implemented changes so that the content is neutralized, would you be able to offer advice on additional steps I can take to get this removed?
@STRWikiUpdates: The tags are added and removed manually by editors; just wait for another user to come across the article and remove the tag, if they determine it to not be written like a resume. Unrelated to this question, your username violates the Username policy as it implies shared use; I have placed a template on your talk page instructing you on what to do. – dudhhrtalkcontribssheher15:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Dudhhr,
First, thank you for your response. Is there a way I can request a review, perhaps even you to see if I've updated content accordingly?
Second, I appreciate your adherence to the username policy, and realize now in setting up my account, I can see how my name would be associated with a company. However, there is no company (feel free to verify), and my work is being conducted for Arizona State University, which is not part of my username. I've updated my profile to be more thorough.

You're exactly right on the incorrect entry, and it has been revised accordingly. Please feel free to confirm there is no STR Strategies. STRWikiUpdates (talk) 16:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531

Good Morning,
Why my article on verification and validation was reverted? It contains a lot of skill-based information. Please look into it. Also guides how I write new articles.

New page reviewer granted
Hi Dudhhr, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
