Page Image
The image at the top of the page appears (on my iPhone) horribly out of focus. Weird, because if I click on the image (which is the Wikipedia logo), I am presently with a beautifully crisp variant.
Not sure why this might be happening. Ian Yorston (talk) 08:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Change "currently" with template
It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Wikipedia. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |
Since the number below is created using {{NUMBEROF|active|Wikipedia}}
I suggest changing the word "currently" with one of the {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}
templates so that is clear to the reader when this data was originated
There are currently 339 language editions of Wikipedia (also called language versions, or simply Wikipedias)
— (the highlight is mine)
If not, it should have the template of {{When|date=November 2024}}
to help the reader question the accuracy of this statement Silva Selva (talk) 15:45, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Note: I don't consider this proposed change as an improvement, nor do I see the need to tag "currently". M.Bitton (talk) 16:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia#Sister_projects_–_Wikimedia and Wikisource
Just a note, but currently does not mention Wikisource. I assume there are sources for its existence? It is true WS is very minor, and maybe non-notable. (Anyway, as a wikisourcerer, I'd be one of the worst people to write that up). Leaving this here as food for thought.
(Actually, is also missing Wikifunctions, and possibly some others). — Alien 3
