How do I amend the icons that appear in the top right corner?

I want to add/remove some of the icons in English Wikipedia. How do I do that? -Imcdc (talk) 15:39, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

@Imcdc What icons? Could you please give an example or a screenshot for reference? Thanks. SCP-2000 (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Why isn’t the Wikipedia 25th anniversary logo available in Vietnamese?

I noticed that the Wikipedia 25th anniversary logo is not available in Vietnamese, even though Vietnamese Wikipedia exists.

Other language versions appear to have the special anniversary logo, but it is missing for Vietnamese. Is this a bug, an oversight, or is there a specific reason why the Vietnamese edition does not have access to the 25th anniversary logo?

Thank you. ~2026-31847-53 (talk) 15:55, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-31847-53 Hello, thank you for your question. You may refer to this response about why the local community didn't setup the logo. SCP-2000 (talk) 16:21, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

"Add topic" link is missing in Vector2022 on talk pages

I'm not often using Vector2022, so I just found out that on talk pages (at least in German wikipedia) the "add topic" link at the top of the page and next to the last heading is missing. In Vector2010 it's there as usually. I couldn't start a new topic without editing the whole site or the last section, and had to switch to old Vector skin to do it as usual. Why? regards, --René Mettke (talk) 17:41, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

@René Mettke, Hello, thanks for flagging this issue. I tested on Chinese Wikipedia using both Vector2022 and Vector2010, and it seems that I can't reproduce the issue you mentioned. Could you please provide a screenshot and the link to that talk page for bug reproduction? And have you used the safe mode to try to resolve the problem? SCP-2000 (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

@René Mettke: On Vector 2022, the Add topic link is a bit higher up, on the line of the page title rather than on the among the content action tabs. See the screenshot at Talk pages project/Usability#14 February 2023. The goal is to make it easier to find for newcomers, although I do see how this can be confusing for established editors, who are used to the old position. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

The link next to the last heading is a local gadget and intentionally disabled on Vector 2022 (Verfügbar für die folgenden Benutzeroberflächen: Vector (2010), MonoBook, Timeless, Modern, Kölnisch Blau). You can ask at de:Wikipedia:Technik/Werkstatt for it to be enabled. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:11, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

How to change logo depending on namespace

Hello, I used to be able to change the logo based on what namespace I was on, like a logo for articles, a different logo for help pages, and so on. It was easy to do by editing MediaWiki:Vector.css and adding a backgroud image to .ns-N #p-logo a, - where N is the namespace ID number. This no longer works with Vector 2022 so I'm asking how it's done, or if it can be done at all.

Thanks. Wedhro (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
