Changes this week
- The list of other languages an article is available in will be shorter on small Wikipedias and non-Wikipedia projects. This is to make it easier to find the most relevant languages for each user. You will still be able to see the other languages.
- Alerts (the red badge) will not be automatically marked as read when you open the Notifications popup.
- When you get several thanks you can see them as one notification. This is instead of one notification for each thanks.
-
