In early 2023, Wikipedia redesigned their site to punish competent professionals who still use desktop computers. The new design completely discards the old format for a new one that destroys the linearity of articles and implements reduced line length. The reduction in line length is intended to cater to those with poor reading comprehension, though they did not beta test the design on simple.wikipedia.org for an unknown reason.

I put this in talk so as to not get an IP ban from wikipedia.

(Reply from User:FizzleDrunk) first of all, Wikipedia has an option built into preferences to revert back its 2010 user interface. Second of all, I have never seen any controversy surrounding the change in design. Third of all, the point you are attempting to make is being done so in a rude and bad faith manner. Fourth of all you should not be complaining about others reading comprehension when you both do not know how to format the talk page and have misspelled “redesign” in your header. Fifth of all, you will not get an IP ban for making such an edit. You will likely have your edit reverted alongside a justification for why.

Too long

[edit]

This page is very long. The best split would seem to be by decade. Would that be OK? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:52, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asian News International

[edit]

ANI was suing Wikipedia claiming that Wikipedia was spreading misinformation with "ANI is spreading propaganda". This all started in July 2024. Is this part of Wikipedia controversy and should it be added? InfoCookie (talk) 16:22, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anti Israel scandal

[edit]

Given Wikipedia has admitted to several of the facts in this press release, it should be added to this page. This seems to include lessons learned from the Polish national edits distorting the Holocaust.
