Front page??
I just published a story, and even after multiple refreshes, it won't push out to the main page. Any ideas as to what is up??--Bddpaux (talk) 17:54, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Coming soon: Improvements for templates
Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:

The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.
 * project page, talk page

In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
 * project page, talk page

Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.

We would love to hear your feedback on our talk pages! -- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 11:13, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
