General notices

  • JavaScript programmers are needed at WT:WPPORT. The portal system is being overhauled. They could really use some input from JS programmers on what is possible.
  • A project is under way to add short descriptions to all articles. This is mainly for the benefit of mobile users searching Wikipedia. Help is welcomed – please visit WikiProject Short descriptions to learn more.
  • The Portals Project is leading an overhaul and general upgrade of the entire portals system, including new automated features to make building, updating, and maintaining portals easier. We are also working on the development of components to make portals self-updating. You are welcome to join in on the fun.
  • Announcing SearchSuite. It provides user control over search results: it can strip them down to a single-spaced list, sort, and more. Most of its features are presented as menu item toggles to turn each feature on/off. Each menu-item-controlled feature works on the output of all the others, in both their on and off states. Feedback and feature suggestions welcome.
  • Following the autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL), the community has decided that autoconfirmed status will henceforward be required in order to create new articles.
  • Do you have need for a specialized script that doesn't exist yet, or have an idea for a cool new script or gadget? Post requests and ideas at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests.
  • Free subscriptions to high-quality paywalled journals, newspaper archives, and online reference works are available for Wikipedia editors. For more information, see Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Databases

Featured content

The Wikipedia community decides whether articles meet certain criteria to be selected as Featured articles, representing the best that Wikipedia has to offer. A different featured article is chosen to appear on the Main Page every day. Any user can nominate an article as a Featured article candidate, or comment on any of the existing candidate articles.

Similar processes select Featured lists, Featured pictures, Featured portals, Featured topics and Featured sounds.
