Squad navboxes styling
edit| This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived. |
Hey there! I am in bit of a confusion with squad navboxes styling. When I first created a World Cup squad navbox, I styled on the precedent of previous navboxes of them matching the kit of the team for that particular season. But cricket teams tend to have very frequently changing colors and I feel this inconsistency can be addressed by sticking to two common styling styles, one for ODI WCs and the other of T20Is. Would be grateful for your help :) Cric editor (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Cric editor:
- I agree; a common/consistent styling pattern should be used within CWCs and T20WCs.
- I must also add that a navbox should be for navigational purposes and not as a decorative something.. thus, they should only use a bg color representing the team. even if the kit color changes time to time in most cases there's a core color in their kit that doesn't usually change which should be the one used. Although slightly different shades can be used based on the contemporary kits.
- The fg color should only be white or black for readability reasons only and the bordercolor shouldn't be used in my opinion. I have done it and now restored it for the 2024 mT20WC squad boxes; I will do 2026 next. But, a similar pattern should be done for other navboxes as well.
- I'm open to further discussions about this...! Vestrian24Bio 08:45, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- Agreed! Although I still think that contrasting fg doesn't cause readability issues tho. Thanks for working on this man Cric editor (talk) 09:21, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- Didn't mean fg color causes readability issues. I don't see the need for any fg color usage other than using black in a light bg and white in a dark bg. Vestrian24Bio 09:30, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- Got that! My point is just that contrasting colors for text/links are allowed according to MOS:COLORS, so maybe it's just not a stretch. Cric editor (talk) 09:34, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Cric editor: also, if we settle down on colors for each format then we can create a coloring template which would make maintenance easier. Vestrian24Bio 09:34, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- That will actually be very helpful for the editors who create such templates in the future, seems like a good idea. Cric editor (talk) 13:28, 15 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Cric editor: If you could fill the tables at User:Vestrian24Bio/tmp1 with appropriate hex values; I'll incorporate it into a template. Thanks, Vestrian24Bio 03:55, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have updated the men's table with some changes suggestions for 2-3 teams per WP:MOS and to maintain consistency. Cric editor (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-22
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Following a successful account creation experiment, an improved logged-out edit warning message will be deployed to all Wikimedia wikis in the first week of June. The change will only affect logged-out users on mobile web who open an editing session. The updated experience is designed to encourage account creation more clearly, while still allowing users to edit with temporary accounts. Results from the experiment showed a significant increase in account creation, with a 27% relative lift among users shown the updated message. As expected, as more people funnel into account creation, temporary accounts decreased by a relative 16%. The experiment did not show any significant changes in constructive edit rates or other monitored contributor metrics.
Updates for editors
- For security reasons, members of certain user groups are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Members of these groups will be unable to disable the last 2FA method on their account, and it will be impossible to add users without 2FA to these groups. Users will still be able to add new authentication methods or remove them, as long as at least one method is continuously enabled. In the next few weeks, users without 2FA will be removed from these groups. Notably, this applies to bureaucrats. See the linked tasks for deployment schedules.
- WMDE Technical Wishes will run an A/B test on 10 wikis, testing potential improvements for Reference Previews. The experiment will run for ~2 weeks at the end of May / beginning of June and will affect 10% of desktop readers on the participating wikis.
- After two successful experiments, the Reader Growth team is rolling out an Image Browsing beta feature for all Wikipedias on mobile on May 25. This means that anyone who has all beta features on by default will start to see this feature, and others can check the box to turn it on in their preferences. The beta feature will include a carousel of all an article's images at the top of the article, with controls for editors to exclude images from the article's carousel or to exclude an article from the feature entirely.
View all 30 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, three dimensional STL files were being rendered incorrectly by the media viewer 3D extension which is now fixed.
Updates for technical contributors
- The legacy CSS classes
tleftandtrighthave been replaced withfloatleftandfloatrightas the former do not work consistently across all MediaWiki platforms, notably mobile web and mobile apps. Projects relying on these classes are encouraged to review related usage and plan for migration. Please note thatfloatleftandfloatrightmay also be deprecated in future, although there are currently no plans to do so. Read more.
Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki

Temporary account IP viewer granted
edit
Hello, Vestrian24Bio. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
- You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
- Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).
It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:
- When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
- Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
- Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).
Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! – robertsky (talk) 14:26, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Tech News: 2026-23
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- The Reader Experience team is conducting an experiment to show the reading lists feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The experiment was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month.
- The Wikimedia Apps team released Phase 1 of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed "Community" tab and a personalized "For You" tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve content discovery and create more engaging learning experiences in the Wikipedia apps.
View all 18 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where images could fail to load for some suggested edits on Special:Homepage, leaving the thumbnail stuck in a loading state, has now been fixed.
