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.

If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? 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.

Because valuable seeds and pets can be difficult to obtain through normal gameplay, some players have searched for duplication glitches that promise unlimited inventory growth. However, most of the widely shared methods are no longer working, and trying to exploit them can create serious problems for your account. Why Most Duplication Methods No Longer Work Duplication glitches often appear when players discover unusual interactions between the server, trading system, and inventory. Common examples have involved server delays, interrupted trades, inventory resets, or other timing-based tricks. These methods may temporarily allow an item to appear more than once, but they rarely remain available for long. Once a glitch becomes widely known through community discussions or videos, the developers can usually identify the problem and release a hotfix. Some exploits may disappear within hours, while others can remain active for several days before being patched. This makes relying on a dupe method especially unreliable. The Risks of Using Inventory Exploits Even if a duplication trick appears to work, using it is not a safe way to build your collection. Developers can monitor unusual changes in player inventories and detect suspicious item generation. A sudden increase in rare seeds, pets, or other valuable resources may attract attention. The possible consequences can be much more serious than simply losing duplicated items. Players who deliberately abuse an exploit may face a permanent account ban. In some cases, abnormal inventories or progress may also be wiped, removing legitimately earned items along with anything connected to the exploit. For that reason, avoiding duplication glitches is generally the safer choice. A temporary shortcut is not worth risking an account that contains hours of progress, rare collectibles, or valuable trades. Use Official Codes Instead Players looking for free rewards have a much safer option: official redemption codes. These codes can provide useful seeds and items without requiring players to experiment with glitches or questionable methods. Depending on the current code system, rewards can be claimed through the game's settings or redemption interface. One useful code is TEAMGREENBEAN, which provides three Green Bean Seeds. Another is WATERYOPLANTS, which gives ten Common Watering Cans. There is also REMEMBERTODRINKWATER, which rewards one Common Watering Can. These types of rewards may not seem as impressive as instantly duplicating a rare item, but they are obtained through intended game systems and carry none of the same exploit-related risks. A Reward That Requires Friends Another code worth remembering is FREESEED. This reward provides three Uncommon Seed Packs, but there is an additional requirement before the reward can be claimed. Players need to invite three friends to join the current server. This requirement can actually make the reward more enjoyable because it encourages players to spend time in the game together. Instead of relying on an exploit, you can bring friends into the server, work on your gardens, and collect legitimate rewards along the way. Safer Ways to Build Your Collection A strong collection does not have to come from glitches. Regular gameplay, event rewards, official codes, trading, and careful resource management can all help you make steady progress. It is also worth checking official announcements when new updates arrive, since developers may introduce fresh rewards or change how certain items are obtained. Players should also be cautious when watching videos or reading posts claiming that a new duplication method is “undetectable.” Such claims are difficult to verify, and a method that appears successful in a video may already have been patched by the time you try it. Keep Your Progress Safe The best long-term approach is to treat unexpected duplication methods as a warning rather than an opportunity. Protecting your account and keeping your legitimate inventory intact is much more valuable than gaining a few extra items through an exploit. With patched glitches becoming increasingly common, official rewards remain a more dependable way to expand your collection. If you are also interested in building a better pet lineup without wasting time on risky methods, looking for cheap Grow a Garden 2 Pets can be a more practical alternative for expanding your options while keeping your gameplay focused on legitimate progression. Grow a Garden 2 duplication glitches are frequently patched, and exploiting them can put your account and progress at risk. A safer approach is to use official codes and legitimate trading methods.

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.

[[: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.

It would look more or less likes as presented below. For the entry 'start' (based on the current version): <blockquote> === Meanings === countable noun * (1) [[the]] [[beginning]] [[of]] [[something]] [[in]] [[place]] [[or]] [[time]] * (2) [[a]] [[movement]] [[in]] [[reaction]] [[to]] [[surprise]] * (3) [[a]] [[surprise]], [[often]] [[not]] [[pleasant]] verb * (4) [[do]] [[something]] [[for]] [[the]] [[first]] [[time]] * (5) [[make]] [[a]] [[machine]] [[begin]] [[to]] [[work]] * (6) [[move]] [[in]] [[surprise]] === Pronunciations === * {{UK}} {{IPA|[stɑːt]}} * {{US}} {{IPA|[stɑɹt]}} * {{audio|en-uk-to start.ogg|UK}} * {{audio|en-us-start.ogg|US}} === Examples === * (1) [[we|We]] [[went]] [[back]] [[to]] [[the]] '''[[start]]'''. * (2) [[I]] [[surprised]] [[him]] [[and]] [[he]] [[gave]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''. * (3) [[she|She]] [[gave]] [[him]] [[quite]] [[a]] '''[[start]]'''. * (4) [[they|They]] '''[[started]]''' [[the]] [[race]] [[in]] [[first]] [[place]]. * (5) [[I]] [[will]] '''[[start]]''' [[the]] [[car]]. * (6) [[when|When]] [[I]] [[touched]] [[his]] [[arm]], [[he]] '''[[started]]'''. === Synonyms === * (1) [[beginning]], [[outset]], [[square one]], [[drawing board]], [[introduction]] * (2) [[jump]] * (3) [[surprise]], [[scare]] * (4) [[begin]], [[introduce]] * (5) [[start up]], [[turn on]], [[initialize]] * (6) [[syn|flinch]] === Antonyms === * (1) [[finale]] * (1, 4) [[end]], [[finish]] * (4) [[end]], [[finish]], [[terminate]], [[complete]], [[finalize]], [[conclude]] * (5) [[shut down]], [[turn off]], [[cut]] * (1-6) A word that is synonym for 'start' in all the meanings above === Collocations === === Inflection === etc. </blockquote> Note some things: * At the moment, I mostly just want to learn your opinion as to whether introducing a new layout is possible at all. I don't insist it has to look exactly as above * Similar layouts are used, for example, on German and Polish wiktionaries * We could use some templates in this layout e.g. instead of headers * I wanted to paste this temple into my personal page and share you a link to it, so that you could see it as a normal page, but I apparently got blocked :/ Some advantages of the layout above: * We avoid repeating information thanks to using brackets ( ) * A reader can easily check any word that is not familiar with thanks for using square brackets [[ ]] * Not using full stops . is more correct: they should be used after a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not after a noun phrase (e.g. the beginning of something in place or time.) * Not using capitalisation is more correct: it should be used at the beginning of a sentence (e.g. We went back to the start.) not at the beginning of a noun phrase (e.g. The beginning of something in place or time) * Using definitions that act as equivalents (e.g. 'the beginning of something in place or time') is more helpful for a learner than using full sentences (e.g. 'A start is the begging of something in place or time.)

You will probably want to hear from people who are on here more than me, such as the active [[Wiktionary:Administrators|Administrators]], but I will say a few things. :I like your energy and your desire to contribute in a meaningful way. 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. Consider writing on the most active users' (and administrators') talk pages for, possibly, a faster response. :Please don't let this stop you from contributing further in ways that match the current rules.
