Hi

Just a quick message, I'm not sure if this is related but when I had windows installed, i had an option in wikipedia to edit that i had not before. I now have linux and the option to edit has gone, however today on one page i have option of 85 languages and on another related page i languages are reduced to 14.

Just seen on this form before publish changes ... 'editing help (opens in new window)' is shown. Javascript v java ?

Thanks Helena — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:CEBF:DB01:4709:438A:D75D:58C4 (talk) 20:42, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
