English Wiki vs Others edit
Why does English Wikipedia get no milestone logos like the other language Wikipedias? StrawWord298944 (talk) 23:01, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- @StrawWord298944: It does, e.g. File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en 6m articles 270 white.png. (archived example of Main Page). PrimeHunter (talk) 04:06, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
The redesign is horrendous edit
It is 100% more difficult to navigate the website. The previous design was perfect as it followed the KISS principle. Now nagivating between pages and articles is a lot more difficult and requires much more user interaction, which is not the point of what Wikipedia wants to be; an encyclopedia anyone can access.
The new CSS looks like it was designed by a elementary school child. Please tell me there is a way to revert to normal logged in or out, because I am never going to use this site again in this format. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:2BDC:5A00:A8E0:BF2B:D625:783B (talk) 21:25, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

- Logged in, select "Vector legacy (2010)" at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
- So, is it way to force users to log in and by that get more possibilities to track what pages they request? 78.54.60.155 (talk) 17:22, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
- This is not the page to discuss this, if you'd like you can make comments on the ongoing RfC ~ Eejit43 (talk) 06:36, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Should the lede logo be changed? edit
If we're being really pedantic, the recent Vector 22 changes altered the logo of the English Wikipedia, moving the text to the right of the glyph globe instead of below. Would it be more technically accurate to change the logo to reflect the new changes? Crusader1096 (message) 06:41, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- No, the long-standing logo shouldn't change and Vector 22 should change it back to the real logo. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:59, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Lead structure change edit
Due to this article's visibility I would like consensus for changing the very first sentence,
from:
The English Wikipedia is, with the Simple English Wikipedia, one of two English-language editions of Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia.
to:
The English Wikipedia is one of two English-language editions of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, along with the Simple English edition.
Here, at the last word, "edition" prioritizes grammatical flow and "Wikipedia" would prioritize clarity and, in my opinion, are interchangeable. Apmh 22:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
