If I have declined your draft, I do not normally review the same draft twice. If you think you have fixed the issues outlined in the decline message, then please resubmit the draft for another reviewer to look at. Do NOT leave me a message here.

Recent changes
The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias (a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [1][2]
Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the SiteAdminHelper. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [3]
Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services. [4]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (calendar). [5][6]
When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [7]
I'm Jessie GYU8. We've been talking since half a month ago. I'm leaving a message for you because I have not received your reply on my user talk page. I replied to your talk two weeks ago because my draft did not disclose my affiliation, I'm so sorry about that. I did not mean to ignore your advice. As I'm not a native speaker, it's a bit hard to completely understand the meaning of your advice.
Here's my reply on my user talk page, and I really need your help:
I will review my draft and delete some sentences to avoid this situation again. At the same time, I will properly use the template in my edits to adhere to Wikipedia's principles. First, I need to put the "paid" template on my user page, modify my draft for submission—is that right? Are there any other things I need to carefully notice? Jessie GYU8 (talk) 02:41, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessie GYU8: I would suggest that you should not be creating an article if you are not a native speaker or have a VERY high command of the language you are trying to write the article in.
To answer your question though, what you stated is correct - RichT|C|E-Mail 14:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Rich. Thank you so much for your answer, and also your advice. Wikipedia is a professional encyclopedia website, we will also devote ourselves to it wholeheartedly. So please rest assured that we will take a serious and professional attitude towards the preparation of the draft to meet the requirements of Wikipedia.
Thank you again for your answer and hope you have a good day! Jessie GYU8 (talk) 02:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes
On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word __EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__ to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [9]
If you use the user-preference "Show preview without reloading the page", then the template-page feature "Preview page with this template (what's this?)" will now also work without reloading the page. [10]
Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the alt= attribute. This is identical in usage to the alt= attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [11]
The old Guided Tour for the "New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [12]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (calendar). [13][14]
The Special:Search results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure. [15]
Future changes
In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [16]
Two columns of the pagelinks database table (pl_namespace and pl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the new linktarget table instead (lt_namespace and lt_title). In your existing SQL queries:
Replace JOIN pagelinks with JOIN linktarget and pl_ with lt_ in the ON statement
Below that add JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
