I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your Wiktionary. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this transition disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Confidence_Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

See the [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Glossary|Wikidata:Glossary]] for further explanations. The upcoming change is scheduled for '''17.07.2025''', between '''1300 - 1500 UTC'''. The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below: [[File:Apr10 edit summary on Wikidata.png|An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s]] These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

When enabled, you will be able to call functions from your project, and integrate them in your articles. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output. Think of adding up two numbers, or converting miles into metres, or calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. This is usually done with templates that are complicated to create or to import. With Wikifunctions, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks! Please check out [[:f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|these tutorials]] for more details. You’re also invited to [[:f:Special:CreateObject|create functions]] that you find useful, or [[:f:Wikifunctions:Suggest a function|ask for help from the Wikifunctions community]]. We would like to invite you to contribute to Wikifunctions, by translating the existing functions labels into your language, so that more users in your community can more easily reuse them on the project. You can also translate the messages for the Wikifunctions interface on TranslateWiki ([https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-wikilambda-ve&filter=%21translated&action=translate here for VisualEditor messages], and [https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&group=ext-wikilambda-user&filter=%21translated&action=translate here for the Wikifunctions interface proper]).

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025. [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]]. Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages. Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates. We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

As a rule of thumb, it is probably a good idea to do more than create 3 new entries on a single day, so that you get to know the community and its workings better, before suggesting a major change like this. Logically, things are generally done the way they are for a reason, though certainly there is room for change when there are good reasons to do so. Either way, consensus would be needed for a change like this to be implemented, so keep that in mind. On the other hand, due to the small size of the community here, consensus can be reached more easily here than on larger projects. :That said, I see both pros and cons to your suggestion. You will likely get significant pushback on some of your points. Also, I don't think I'm alone in feeling that pronunciation should not split the definitions from their examples. :Finally, you may note that this community, since it's quite a small one, responds slowly, so don't be surprised if any further comments or responses take a while.

You '''lie''' down when you want to rest or sleep. {{ant|stand|sit}} #: ''She '''lay''' on the bed and went to sleep.'' # If something '''lies''' somewhere, it is there and it is not moving. {{syn|rest|sit}} #: ''His dirty shirt was '''lying''' on the floor and old socks were everywhere.'' === Usage === This word should not be confused with "[[lay]]", a different verb. Unlike "lie", which is intransitive, the separate verb "lay" is transitive. Care should especially be taken to not confuse "lay" (verb that is different from "lie") with "lay" (the past tense of "lie"). === Related words === * [[liar]] == Verb 2 == {{verb|lie|lies|lied|lying}} # {{intransitive}} If you '''lie''', you say or write something that you know is not true. {{syn|fib}} {{ant|tell the truth}} #: ''"How old are you?" he asked. "Twenty-one," she '''lied'''. She was actually eighteen years old.'' Examples given in the old Webster dictionary says, why do you lie to me vs why do you just lie there. In past tense the word "lier" perceived in the new dictionary does not exist. It has been deleted from context to be depicted as "liar" when in fact they are two different existing words that have two different meanings all together. In example, to be a "lier" is to be a noun in context and to be a "liar" would be as a verb form. One depicts a person or being while the other depicts an action. == Noun == {{noun}} # Something not true, a [[falsehood]], an [[untruth]]. {{syn|falsehood|fib|untruth}} {{ant|truth}} #: ''I told a '''lie'''.'' === Related words === * [[white lie]] * [[bald-faced lie]] ors7l1c5gagm82pfl50emxo8cd03u9j heart 0 2718 560841 544890 2026-07-09T08:58:08Z Intolerable situation 36159 added homophone 560841 wikitext text/x-wiki {{BE850}} {{BNC1000HW}} === Pronunciation === * {{UK}} {{IPA|/hɑːt/}}, {{SAMPA|/hA:t/}} * {{US}} {{IPA|/hɑrt/}}, {{SAMPA|/hArt/}} * {{audio|en-us-heart.ogg|US}} * {{audio|en-uk-heart.ogg|UK}} * {{hmp|hart}} == Noun == {{noun}} # {{countable}} The part of the [[body]] that [[pump]]s [[blood]]. #: ''He has a problem with his '''heart'''.'' # {{countable}} {{context|symbolic}} Where [[emotion]]s are. #: ''You broke my '''heart'''.'' # {{countable}} Center, core. {{syn|center|core|pith}} #: ''We get to the '''heart''' of the problem.'' # {{uncountable}} {{lc|Care}} for others, [[compassion]]. {{syn|compassion|mercy}} {{ant|ruthlessness|cruelty}} #: ''He has a lot of '''heart'''.'' <gallery> File:CG Heart.gif|CG Heart File:Humhrt2.jpg|A human heart File:Diagram of the human heart (cropped).svg|A drawing of the parts of a human heart File:Corazón.svg|A heart [[symbol]] </gallery> === Related words === * [[coldhearted]] * [[heartbreak]] * [[heartbroken]] * [[hearten]] * [[heartless]] * [[hearty]] * [[heart and soul]] * [[wear your heart on your sleeve]] * [[blood]] * [[circulation]] * [[feel]] {{body}} {{suits}} [[Category:Organs]] [[Category:Cardiology]] 0se5h71q9gz0gu61frba6yia7po0t2x feet 0 3015 560845 507471 2026-07-09T09:15:35Z Intolerable situation 36159 added [[:Category:Irregular plurals]] 560845 wikitext text/x-wiki === Pronunciation === * {{enPR|fēt}}, {{IPA|/fiːt/}} * {{SAMPA|/fi:t/}} * {{audio|en-us-feet.ogg|Audio (US)}} * {{hmp|feat}} == Noun == {{noun|foot|feet}} [[File:Girl's feet.jpg|thumb|Girl's feet]] # {{plural of|foot}} #: ''Please take your shoes and socks off of your '''feet'''.'' #: ''My '''feet''' hurt from walking all day.'' #: ''My friend is six '''feet''' tall.''
