I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC) Reply

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- Wishlist item Content Translation now supports dark mode, fulfilling a Community Wishlist request. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content.
- DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (
[[), templates ({{), HTML and parser tags (<), and magic words (__), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. - The Readers Growth team has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
- The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the Reading Lists feature, with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
- The Explore Feed Refresh initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
- [画像:Recurrent item] View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language.
Updates for technical contributors
- After running several Account Creation Experiments to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on Create Account has been rolled out. It includes a popover summarizing the username policy to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages
createacct-helpusernameandcreateacct-username-helpthat several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages:createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1,createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2, andcreateacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3. - Later this week, the CodeMirror syntax highlighter will offer themes. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full CodeMirror preferences dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too.
- From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the "User" namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. Read the configuration documentation to learn more.

Hi Val. I know you've got a lot going on off-wiki, and this is nothing time-sensitive, but thought it might be of interest to you at some point. I've run into one of those funny cases where something is obviously true and yet deceptively hard to source.
A diabolo (drink) is a fizzy lemonade with syrup; sometimes that syrup is grenadine. A Shirley Temple (drink) is a ginger- or citrus-based soda with grenadine; sometimes that soda is fizzy lemonade. It therefore would make sense for both articles to reference the other in-text as overlapping concepts. And yet, try as I might, I can't find any reliable source that says that a diabolo grenadine is a form of Shirley Temple. This may be partly because, if fr:Shirley Temple (cocktail) is any indication, the French usage of "Shirley Temple" refers primarily to something more complicated than the term refers to in English, so there aren't French sources commenting on the English meaning of the term. Still, in Googling around, I can find tons of non-reliable sources that either treat the two as synonymous or say that a diabolo grenadine is a version of a Shirley Temple, so I'd expect there to be at least one RS out there commenting on it. The closest I've found is this maybe-RS that says Popular flavors include diabolo menthe and diabolo grenadine. (Did somebody say French Shirley Temple?)
, but that's a bit vague.
I know you sometimes have book sources that are useful for these kinds of things, so was wondering if you have any ideas. The connection is self-evident enough that I think it'd be fine for me to see-also the articles to each other, but it'd be nice to be able to say it in-text. -- Tamzin [cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 20:56, 2 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
