First CBC Gem logo returned

Yep it did return in 2018 http://www.cbc.ca/caught/content/images/caught_site_hdr_3.jpg http://cdn.mediaincanada.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_2345-623x350.jpg?8766fc http://mediaincanada.com/2018/02/23/initiative-jumps-around-yonge-dundas-with-cbc/ there is more evadents but will show these links for EX. 71.7.166.48 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:04, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

The series itself is set in 1978, so an ample opportunity to use classic presentation from the time, but it does not mean that it's been brought back as a secondary logo. Here in the UK, BBC One did the same thing in 2007 with Life on Mars set in the 1970s.[6] -- AxG /   09:31, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Wikimap Q

Hey. I think you might be able to help me?

I'm looking for the website that allows you to click around the borders of a country in order to make the template for the maps to be clickable?

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing

Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/en/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
