FYI, they're currently testing two designs for a default TOC in Minerva: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Readers/Reader_Growth/WE3.10.2_Mobile_Table_of_Contents -- You might like to offer them feedback, or share your setup with them on the talkpage there.

[It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago in Tech News: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2026/08#tech-news-nav]

the "User Shadows" extension seems to solve it now.

This seems like a great resource, thank you very much for sharing!

(Small technical bug: I noticed the links within the Table of Contents on this page don't work, because there's no id in the associated headers. https://chelsea11y.com/cpacc/1bc-2.html )

The official answer:

"The Endowment and the reserve are set aside for particular long-term purposes and are separate from donations we receive from readers via our online fundraising campaigns.

We use most of the annual donations we receive from Wikipedia readers to support the current day-to-day work we are doing. After that, we set a small percentage aside for our operating reserve."

It's a best/standard practice for any non-profit to have 12-18 months of backup reserves.

The docs at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate might help you

to embed category trees in any page, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree#Usage (the extension is bundled by default)

to edit your sidebar, edit the page MediaWiki:Sidebar

If you set your personal languages with Babel boxes, that will add lines for those languages into all items.

E.g. copy and adapt this section, into your own userpage https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Quiddity#Babel_test

and then empty lines (if those languages are unstarted) will show up.

• The wiki is pretty good. It has tips for enemies, biomes, spells, wand-building, and more. https://noita.wiki.gg/
• If you find yourself close to giving up on the game entirely, try playing with some cheats enabled. (I play vanilla 1/2 the time, and with cheats 1/2 the time, depending on my mood). There are many good mods in the Steam Workshop, e.g.
• 1. Edit Wands Always
• 2. Half-Damage Taken
• 3. CheatGUI

Latest maps (for all game versions) are centralized at https://noita.wiki.gg/wiki/Biomes#Current_Maps :)

Clearer resources.

I think there's a need for advocacy, but more urgently, a need for clearer resources for designers.

There are a handful of sites that offer suggested palettes, but they're often highly technical/academic in content. E.g. https://personal.sron.nl/%7Epault/

We need a site/resource that offers the best advice, for various design circumstances, presented in a simple way. Whether that is colored-text, colored-maps, colored-graphs, colored-diagrams, and beyond. - Palettes that cover situations like "I need 12 background colors for a graph, and for black text to have WCAG AAA contrast when used on top". Or palettes that also have mirror-versions available for "dark-mode" styling with white text.

As someone who works with designers, and does amateur advocacy for accessibility issues, I want to be able to say "use this palette" and point to something that immediately works. But currently I have to say "here are a few links, please spend a few hours learning the science and figuring out which palette is best for you".

I normally point to these sites. Is there anything better?

• https://personal.sron.nl/%7Epault/
• https://colorbrewer2.org/

E.g. I just discovered this site - https://davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/ - I should've found that years ago!

There are also the tools for checking the accessibility of websites & files, like Toptal and Coblis. A few are listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility#Color but possibly there are more/better out there?

TLDR

1. I hope someone can compile a good list of existing resources, and put it in the sidebar of this subreddit.
2. I hope someone can eventually create a better single resource for designers who just want to be told exactly what to use.

I hope this ramble helps you/someone! Maybe I should recreate it as a new post? Thoughts appreciated! :)

I tried running the image through the tritanomoly and tritanopia filters in https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/ - and I think your image helps me understand a bit better :) Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

In the tool, I wish they had a middle-point between those 2, or slider, because it's a big jump!

Do you (or anyone) know if there are better web-tools for trying to share perspectives like this? Thanks!

I'd suggest considering an exemption, or specific guidance, for charities/non-profits, or free and open source software projects, and/or other "help the wider good" use-cases.

E.g. I'm a Wikipedian/Wikimedian who has been interested in [among way too many other topics!] accessible design [from web to architecture] for over 20 years. I really like this thread, because I've regularly wanted to ask for the insights of any members of this community on a variety of topics related to our Wikimedia sites and software design. I haven't yet done so, partially because I don't know what the etiquette is for "how many times the same person/group can ask"! E.g. hypothetically if I only get 1 question a year, then I want it to be the most important question possible. But that has meant that I never ask anything, because I'm scared to waste my chance for your attention!

In other words: I follow a handful of accessibility subreddits and have often appreciated reading the feedback you've all given to some of the requests from web-developers and software-developers. Especially the requests from people who are trying to build accessibility-related software or improve their accessibility-related websites. So I hope you'll keep allowing some of them, somehow. Thanks, and I hope that helps!

You've found most of what I found. The only remainder is Zazzle, which is what I used for the 2 watches in my links in the other post. I guess you could try to disassemble a watch that they printed?

Personally, my rough plan for the next attempt, is to find a seiko 5 (because that seems to be what the modders love) and simply get a local Printing shop to print a dial on various types of material. Cut that out and try it as a watch face! I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'll learn that when I get to it. :-)

In case it helps, I made an SVG file with a few layers https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Custom-watch-clock-face-dial-template-base.svg

How it works: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Custom-watch-clock-face-dial-examples.png

Details and context at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Custom_clocks_and_watches

I encourage you to share your workings! (I still haven't got much further myself, but I hope to do what you're doing, some day)

That is amazing!

It looks like it was a limited edition Avon product but that type usually go for about US$10.

And it projects 10 images!! try twisting the ring.

I'd suggest cross-posting to /r/Watches/ but I suspect they might not appreciate it properly... ;-)

There's a list at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Communication#Forums plus the mediawiki-l mailing list and various IRC channels listed further above. :-)

Thoughts:

You might want to use Semantic MediaWiki, although it adds a lot of complexity, but also power: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_MediaWiki

• You can see examples and look at the code in
• https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Demo:Berlin
• https://practicalplants.org/wiki/Practical_plants
• http://www.datencockpit.at/Datencockpit
• https://snpedia.com/index.php/APOA5

Or, You might just want to keep it simple and use tables. If you can install the VisualEditor then that will make editing tables a LOT easier (everything except cell-background-color): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor

• Good examples of complex tables can be found in
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_lists (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantons_of_Costa_Rica )
• or random specific example I like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_version-control_software

Hope that helps. (Note: I'm not a developer, and have no experience using Semantic_MediaWiki, I'm just an editor who is aware of some of its uses)

Hmm, should be there, ah, it's mentioned within the item. It was added in https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/261/commits/1aa403bb82750c93bb8ec308302fdbe269bf4da6

ah, it was not clearer because you had not yet suggested a change! i've done it for ya https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/pull/636

it's not also a complete replacement for KeePass because: https://keepassxc.org/docs/#faq-platform-mobile
