People who attempt to add an external link in the visual editor will now receive immediate feedback if they attempt to link to a domain that a project has decided to block. Please see Edit check for more details. [1]
The dark mode beta feature is now available on category and help pages, as well as more special pages. There may be contrast issues. Please report bugs on the project talk page. [4]
Problems
Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [5]
Last week, styling updates were made to the Vector 2022 skin. This caused unforeseen issues with templates, hatnotes, and images. Changes to templates and hatnotes were reverted. Most issues with images were fixed. If you still see any, report them here. [6]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [7][8]
Starting June 18, the Reference Edit Check will be deployed to a new set of Wikipedias. This feature is intended to help newcomers and to assist edit-patrollers by inviting people who are adding new content to a Wikipedia article to add a citation when they do not do so themselves. During a test at 11 wikis, the number of citations added more than doubled when Reference Check was shown to people. Reference Check is community configurable. [9]
Mailing lists will be unavailable for roughly two hours on Tuesday 10:00–12:00 UTC. This is to enable migration to a new server and upgrade its software. [10]

Translation from Google Translate: "Hello Me kashishah125, Search as word KOTHA Ajj ik aham pahlooo zahan mein aya too dill kiyaa kay app logoo say kar loo. , Some words are used till today, save the day, everyone has heard it and there are many women who are called to meet everyone, but in this regard, I would like to recommend the app as it is. Sometimes you should pay attention to where a lot of things remain like this, whose taluq is #shareef_khandanoo, but never come to the rescue of a lover, sometimes you help a stranger out of ignorance, sometimes you run away from the house of your loved one. #Girls are also casted here, apart from this, there are many such people too. #Who has been lured into such a world. Now I have decided that it is fair to call everyone as Ganday Namoo. Haan un #bahinoo say gujarish joh hai apni ashiqii ka hai kartii hai mein karti hai #Kiya 100 percent ke aapna app ke baad aapkar hai baad aa safe samjhan ghee kisi hai to tomorrow duniya hai kuch hai love hai hai hai aapni ashiqii ka hai. raha hai. App people have seen the condition of the girls who are running on the screens, they are getting married, they are getting married with some people, they are like this, they are like this with everyone, they are not like this, but now who can do this? Why did you say this to me? ..... My friend said to me that he is the owner of the outside world and he is also a stranger to me. , So after all this has happened, as per my Naqis Islam, I request all the parents that as per #Shariyat, keeping an eye on the girl's liking, she should marry as soon as she becomes an adult.
And most of all, she laid stress on the upbringing of the boys and on the honor of the woman.
Instead of destroying women, they become safe for women."

Editors will notice that there have been some changes to the background color of text in the diff view, and the color of the byte-change numbers, last week. These changes are intended to make text more readable in both light mode and dark mode, and are part of a larger effort to increase accessibility. You can share your comments or questions on the project talkpage. [11]
The text colors that are used for visited-links, hovered-links, and active-links, were also slightly changed last week to improve their accessibility in both light mode and dark mode. [12]
Problems
You can copy permanent links to talk page comments by clicking on a comment's timestamp. This feature did not always work when the topic title was very long and the link was used as a wikitext link. This has been fixed. Thanks to Lofhi for submitting the bug. [13]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 25 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 26 June. It will be on all wikis from 27 June (calendar). [14][15]
Starting 26 June, all talk pages messages' timestamps will become a link at English Wikipedia, making this feature available for you to use at all wikis. This link is a permanent link to the comment. It allows users to find the comment they were linked to, even if this comment has since been moved elsewhere. You can read more about this feature on Difforon Mediawiki.org. [16]
Hello, one user keeps vandalising a page with subjective/biased POV. I have warned him on the continuous edits but he keeps adding information that’s misleading and biased. I pinged him on the talk page as well. How do I go about this situation. --Swarleystinson88 (talk) 13:35, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those edits are not vandalism. The user is not deliberately trying to hurt the project—assume good faith.
You need to give an actually substantive reason why you oppose the edits.
Then, you need to discuss them on the talk page. If the user continually does not discuss, you can go to their user talk and ask them to.
Not sure if your article qualifies? See the guidelines for more information or contact a coordinator for verification.
New to Wikipedia? Many experienced editors are part of this contest and willing to help; feel free to ask questions about the contest on the talk page.
Know someone else who might be interested? Sign-ups remain open until 15 July, so don't hesitate to invite other editors!

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. [17]
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. [18]
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. [19][20]
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. [21]
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.
Cloud Services tools were not available for 25 minutes last week. This was caused by a faulty hardware cable in the data center. [5]
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 June. It will be on all wikis from 20 June (calendar). [7][8]
