The cascade that the captions are creating are visually disturbing and the the articles look like a mess. Do we really want this to become the focal point of every article?

Any recommendation for Minerva (mobile site)?

As a top 10-or-so site Wikipedia can go with its own icon, and people will learn its meaning the first time they click on it.
Ask an "average" person what this is:
and I'm sure you'll get some funny answers.

Notice how the top caption, which is supposed the be from the local wiki, is not in Italian but in English.
Similar issue in the screenshots above, though you seem to have it in reverse: Italian with Paranoid.

Ctrl+K dialog is not inserting wikilinks. Is it because of this change?

Control of one ref's subref columns (mockup, this would need data from the server):
Two quick mockups:
I don't think long, thin lists of subreferences broken across colums would be a good solution: they'd still be long and thin, but the ones overflowing into the column on the right now with no "anchor". T418679 with some fine control, {{reflist}}-style, seems like a much better option.
Ideally, you'd give users more control over (sub)reference lists, which is what they had with {{reflist}}:
<references subrefresponsive> to enable responsive subreference list (12em min column width, for example)
and
<references subrefcolwidth="12em"> for even more control
and (maybe) only using that when a list becomes longer than 7.

The palette does fill the square better than the glasses, but it's not an everyday object and I would not assume people are familiar with it.
At 18-20 pixels, which is what matters, most designs look like peperoni pizza (and we already had a burger, if you know what I mean)
Thanks again!
The new patchdemo looks better, I don't see any issues with vertical alignment:
Thanks, Nikerabbit. I didn't know about the thresholds. Closing as resolved.

Thanks for your response, @AnneT
I'd call this "disturbing", as if someone is pushing these unpolished new features (reading list?) really, really hard.

While I don't think the two T's are necesarilly latin-only, the icon should be as simple as possible. So maybe:

The eyeglasses will never look right.
Let's borrow from Wikipedia (for Android) app:
I can't say I liked the three most noticable new icons on desktop (eyeglasses, black bell, notices), but I'm very pleased with the icons in my menus on mobiles. I find things much easier to find. Not all of them are perfect, but overall it's a nice improvement.
New designs take time to get used to, but after a few months we'll be hating the old one.

👍🏼
The Tools menu is not only for tools, so this makes sense.

I've always wondered why the "Read" tab is needed. Isn't that always the same link as "Article".
Please do test this in languages other than English (especially Ukrainian, German, Greek) and on wikis that have both "Edit" and "Edit source" enabled (even for logged-out users).
Jdlrobson-WMF: OK, OK. I saw something, I said something - if you know what I mean.
I've added two more examples above; the Ukrainian case seems the worst, it wrapps around even on a big screen.
Have these icons just dissapeared from Vector 2022? They were very helpful: try finding "What links here" on https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD:Stub-meta if you don't speak Russian.

We should probably have different tickets for the leaked markup, but let me leave here some good examples of how much needs to be cleaned in published translations.

I've been getting tens of notifications every day about Tech news being archived from user pages. If this is an intended feature, it's an annoying one.
Jun 1 2026
That's the bug.
@Umherirrender All clear.
I'm trying to figure out why Jdlrobson cannot reproduce this.
@Jdlrobson-WMF I'm gonna hate myself, but I've reset all my preferences on testwiki and enwiki, blanked my global.js on metawiki and my common.js on enwiki.

@Jdlrobson-WMF I think I got it: I had the "Show preview without reloading the page" GLOBAL setting on. When I switched it off (Set a local exception for this global preference), the instant preview in the right-hand panel was still bad, but "Show preview" worked as it should, and that also fixed the instant preview. (I shut down my browser after changing the setting, not sure if that was necessary)
@matej_suchanek That's what I thought, until:

@Jonesey95 That's strange, this is what I'm seeing in the preview output of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Traffic_volume_top:
This change has broken instant preview and regular preview. Go edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Traffic_volume_top in code editor. The table has class=floatright, but the class is unknown to the browser and the table is shown on the left.
Edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mississippi_Highway_69&action=edit§ion=1, changing
{{tv-t|name=Mississippi Highway 69|align=left}}
to
{{tv-t|name=Mississippi Highway 69|align=right}}
No effect, both previews are broken.

For the record, a few more complaints on enwiki:
May 15 2026
@Aklapper Maybe the same people who approved the current format.
Or someone with an argument other than "the format changed while we were only on the beta cluster", which is not true.
IDK. The decision to decline does not seem to be based on any research or valid reasoning. Do what you must, though.
Apparently, this run is a run with hurdles.
May 14 2026
Sorry, but I cannot accept that explanation and would really like to see WMF's official answer.

@ssingh
Thanks. This has been an issue for some 10 days, but I haven't noticed it recently. I see that FF got a little update, so it's hard to tell what the cause was.
I thought it'd be good to report it in case someone else was having the same issues. I'll close the ticket now.

This made watching and unwatching pages overly complicated, it's way too many steps for what used to be a simple operation.
You press the star to watch a page, then there's a pop-up form (how many people really use the labels?), the form has only one button, which is not to confirm but to unwatch. Unless you don't spend a few seconds looking around, you're most likely to press the unwatch button, and if you unwatch, they'll confirm that you're not watching any more, but you do want to watch, so you press the watch button in that dialog, and then you run in circles.

There were up to 35 edits per minute, which is usually the max I get using a bot account. Should the action rate be limited somehow, or an increased edit rate requested from the software before any mass edits, and granted for a limited time?

@Johannnes89 Thanks. Some old habits will be hard to change. That's why I'm suggesting that we at least enable the collapsing+collapsed option by default, in some nice way that will include a configurable title for the collapsed container box.

Seems to be working now, closing.
Per @cscott at Gerrit:
- This is still waiting for a test case added to test/parser/parserTests.txt -- search for "french spaces". The test case "French spaces in wikitext" is a good start, but note also the tests in definition lists, and with surrounding span tags.
