Updates for editors

• Users of the iOS Wikipedia App in Italy and Mexico on the Italian, Spanish, and English Wikipedias, can see a personalized Year in Review with insights based on their reading and editing history.
• Users of the Android Wikipedia App in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia can see the new Rabbit Holes feature. This feature shows a suggested search term in the Search bar based on the current article being viewed, and a suggested reading list generated from the user’s last two visited articles.
• The global reminder bot is now active and running on nearly 800 wikis. This service reminds most users holding temporary rights when they are about to expire, so that they can renew should they want to. See the technical details page for more information.
• The next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 13 January 2025 because of the end of year holidays. Thank you to all of the translators, and people who submitted content or feedback, this year.
• View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a bug was fixed in the Android Wikipedia App which had caused translatable SVG images to show the wrong language when they were tapped.

Updates for technical contributors

• There is no new MediaWiki version next week. The next deployments will start on 14 January. [1]

Template error

Hello! I noticed that you moved Template:Committed identity/styles.css to Template:User committed identity/styles.css a while ago. Following your execution, the template returned an unexpected error, showing "Page Template:Committed identity/styles.css has no content." Could you please look into the issue and make a possible fix for it? ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 13:03, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

It might be because the page is not yet marked for translation? Codename Noreste (talk) 14:23, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Following up, it's fixed now, Rachmat04. Codename Noreste (talk) 18:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Truly appreciate it. ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 10:18, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
