Global watchlist
Hi , my global watchlist seems to get some issues. I have added all projects I want to track. But when a edit goes through, on my talk page for example, it is not shown in the global watchlist. On mobile it also says it gets API issue. How can I fix this API issue? I tried using mobil data as well, there was no difference. Wlaak (talk) 19:16, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- It now seems that when something happens on the English Wikipedia in my Watchlist, it gets labeled as "sv.wikipedia.org" (Swedish) and the article gets auto translated to Swedish, but when I press it takes me to enWiki. Wlaak (talk) 11:37, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- I think it would be better if you filed an issue on phabricator. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/43/ Prototyperspective (talk) 11:17, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
(en.wikt) Preview on hover for non-main namespace pages
Howdy! I'm uncertain how page popups/previews work. In entries like ku'i, I want that when one hovers over the label discursive, it displays the page preview/popup of the definition. However, only the page's title is displayed. This label is located in Appendix:Lojban glossary. Note that this works fine with any label linked to Appendix:Glossary, such as nonstandard, rare in malpost. When asked, I received no input from the Wiktionary community. Any ideas?

What is "abstract"?
In the page List of Wikipedias/sortable there is "abstract" Wikipedia. What language is this? ~2026-18084-80 (talk) 17:12, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

I login to Wikipedia Library and access Oxford Music Online, but am no longer able to access content at that site. Robert.Allen (talk) 21:05, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
