*Updates for editors*

   - Administrators can now customize how the Babel feature

   - The wikimedia.org <https://www.wikimedia.org/> portal has been updated
   – and is receiving some ongoing improvements – to modernize and improve the

   layouts, updated wording and links, and better language support.
   Additionally, all of the Wikimedia project portals, such as wikibooks.org,
   now support dark mode when a reader is using that system setting. [2]
