- Tech News: Read updates from Tech News week 44 and 45 including the community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
- Activity Tab: The Wikipedia Android app expands the new Activity tab to all users. It offers a complete view of your Wikipedia activity: reading time, saved articles, edits, and donation history (for known donors). This change aims to make Wikipedia a more engaging experience for readers and contributors alike, while keeping all personal data private and stored locally on your device.
- Tabbed browsing: Tabbed browsing is now available on the Wikipedia App for iOS. Tabs will let you keep more than one article open at a time, making it easier to explore complex topics, follow links without losing your place, and pick up where you left off.
- CampaignEvents extension: Autoconfirmed users on small and medium wikis with the CampaignEvents extension can now use Event Registration without the Event Organizer right. This feature lets organizers enable registration, manage participants, and lets users register with one click instead of signing event pages.
- Image browsing: The Wikimedia Foundation launched image browsing, an experiment that puts images on top of your Wikipedia article reading journey, on Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias.
- Temporary accounts: Temporary Accounts are now enabled on 1,000+ projects including English Wikipedia.
- Abstract Wikipedia naming contest: The first round of “abstract content wiki” naming vote has ended and the first legal review had begun to determine the 6 names that will make it to the second round on November 17.
- Wikifunctions: Wikifunctions is now deployed across 12 Wiktionaries and 4 Wikipedias.

Requesting for Review of Draft:Role of the Sri Lankan Home Guards in the Sri Lankan Civil War
[edit]Greetings,
I hope you don’t mind me reaching out, but I could use your help. I’ve been working on a draft related to the Sri Lankan Civil War, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could proof-read the article and share any feedback on it, especially since this area of history is underrepresented. That is of course if you have any spare time. Also, if you spot anything I might’ve missed, then please feel free to fix it. Thank you for your consideration. RajaRajaC Talk 13:23, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there RajaRajaC. I'm sorry, but such an article is far outside of my topic area, and I don't think there's much I can do to help. You may be able to find assistance at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history. Good luck, MediaKyle (talk) 13:26, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
