Recent changes
 * Over the next three weeks, dark mode will become available for all users, both logged-in and logged-out, starting with the mobile web version. This fulfils one of the top-requested community wishes, and improves low-contrast reading and usage in low-light settings. As part of these changes, dark mode will also work on User-pages and Portals. There is more information in the latest Web team update.
 * Logged-in users can now set global preferences for the text-size and dark-mode, thanks to a combined effort across Foundation teams. This allows Wikimedians using multiple wikis to set up a consistent reading experience easily, for example by switching between light and dark mode only once for all wikis.
 * If you use a very old web browser some features might not work on the Wikimedia wikis. This affects Internet Explorer 11 and versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari older than 2016. This change makes it possible to use new CSS features and to send less code to all readers.
 * Wikipedia Admins can customize local wiki configuration options easily using Community Configuration. Community Configuration was created to allow communities to customize how some features work, because each language wiki has unique needs. At the moment, admins can configure Growth features on their home wikis, in order to better recruit and retain new editors. More options will be provided in the coming months.
 * Editors interested in language issues that are related to Unicode standards, can now discuss those topics at a new conversation space in MediaWiki.org. The Wikimedia Foundation is now a member of the Unicode Consortium, and the coordination group can collaboratively review the issues discussed and, where appropriate, bring them to the attention of the Unicode Consortium.
 * One new wiki has been created: a in Mandailing

Problems
 * Editors can once again click on links within the visual editor's citation-preview, thanks to a bug fix by the Editing Team.

Future changes
 * Please help us to improve Tech News by taking this short survey. The goal is to better meet the needs of the various types of people who read Tech News. The survey will be open for 2 weeks. The survey is covered by this privacy statement. Some translations are available.

 * The CampaignEvents extension is now available on Meta-wiki, Igbo Wikipedia, and Swahili Wikipedia, and can be requested on your wiki. This extension helps in managing and making events more visible, giving Event organizers the ability to use tools like the Event registration tool. To learn more about the deployment status and how to request this extension for your wiki, visit the CampaignEvents page on Meta-wiki.
 * Editors using the iOS Wikipedia app who have more than 50 edits can now use the Add an Image feature. This feature presents opportunities for small but useful contributions to Wikipedia.
 * Thank you to all of the authors who have contributed to MediaWiki Core. As a result of these contributions, the percentage of authors contributing more than 5 patches has increased by 25% since last year, which helps ensure the sustainability of the platform for the Wikimedia projects.

Problems
 * A problem with the color of the talkpage tabs always showing as blue, even for non-existent pages which should have been red, affecting the Vector 2022 skin, has been fixed.

Future changes
 * The Trust and Safety Product team wants to introduce temporary accounts with as little disruption to tools and workflows as possible. Volunteer developers, including gadget and user-script maintainers, are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. The team has created documentation explaining how to do the update. Learn more.

Coffee cake
I am unhappy with your edits on Coffee cake, for two reasons The Banner talk 19:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) the creation of a large number of links to disambiguation pages. At least 430 links, by the templates Template:Cakes and Template:Jewish cuisine. I hope you can fix that.
 * 2) there are far more types of coffee cakes than the two listed in the dab. I make my coffee cakes with coffee in the batter and in the buttercream in between the layers and on top. No nuts whatsoever. But I feel uncomfortable adding it. Would it be a good idea to create an overview of the common variations of coffee cakes, like List of coffee cakes?


 * Hey, @The Banner. I'm sorry, where did I create links to 430 dabs? My apologies, my tech skills are not the best.
 * No objection to adding other types of items called "coffee cake" to the dab. Those were the three we could find. If there are other notable coffee-flavored cakes, by all means we should add them to that dab. I didn't find any. I think it's possible 'coffee-flavored cake' isn't actually a notable subject, at least per my research, which is unfortunately very much English-based.
 * List of coffee cakes is a little tricky, IMO. Are we talking list of Coffee cake (American) or list of Coffee-flavored cake? Because these are two profoundly different items. One is a cake flavored with coffee. One is a sweet bread served with coffee. Other than their name, they haven't got much in common. I definitely don't think we should be going through recipe sites and listing every recipe for a coffee-flavored cake we can find. We need to includ notable coffee-flavored cakes. Valereee (talk) 20:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I figured out what you were talking about for dabs, and fixed. Valereee (talk) 20:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You created the links by changing "coffee cake" in the dab-page. The two mentioned templates are linking to this newly created dab-page. I have no idea what is the correct link. I think this edit hampered proceedings a bit.
 * List of coffee-flavoured cake might be the better option. Better then my first suggestion at least. The Banner  talk 20:11, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Honestly, neither Tiramisu nor Coffee and walnut cake even mention "coffee cake" or "coffeecake". I'm not sure why this has even become an issue. It seems like a EngVar problem. There's an American sweet bread that is called a coffee cake, which is a notable subject. In other variations of English, the term is understood to mean something else: a cake flavored with coffee. That something else does not seem to be a standalone notable subject. Valereee (talk) 20:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

UKWikiGuy (talk) 14:35, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * The only edit I've made to that page in over a year is to remove the orphan tag, because I de-orphaned it. Not sure what you're objecting to here, @UKWikiGuy. Valereee (talk) 14:42, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
