Guys, the shade of the background color and font color must be changed. The background is black. That's too dark. You know that sensation where you look at white text on a black screen, and the text sticks out like a sore thumb? That weird visual distortion effect that makes it harder to read the text?
A light-on-dark color scheme (dark mode, night mode) is available to Wikipedia's smartphone apps and website (for users using the default skins) since July 2024. In addition to this there is a gadget on English Wikipedia, and various volunteer-written CSS files that allow customization for logged-in users. There is a compatibility guide for ...
The CSS was written with Wikipedia sites in mind (see phab:T221425) so experience on other wikis may not be optimal. To set up the gadget on your wiki, ask an interface-admin to do the following: Create the pages MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode.css , MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode-toggle-pagestyles.css and MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode-toggle.js by copying ...

You can ensure Mac and Windows users get a similar experience by using this CSS font stack: font-family: Palatino, "Palatino Linotype", serif;
John Seigenthaler, an American journalist, was the subject of a defamatory Wikipedia hoax article in May 2005. The hoax raised questions about the reliability of Wikipedia and other websites with user-generated content. Since the launch of Wikipedia in 2001, it has faced several controversies. Wikipedia's open-editing model, which allows any user to edit its encyclopedic pages, has led to ...

Apparently, unbeknownst to me, pages prefixed by "User talk:Bbb23" are not considered subpages; for example, the many archive pages are not listed. That would explain why I've never noticed it as I occasionally look at the list of my subpages.
