I just saw a broken baby image appear below today’s current events. Though, the edit history doesn’t show it. I reset the page and it disappeared. So, does anyone why a broken baby appeared?KaijuEditor (talk)22:22, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to how Gaza war appears (timeline * genocide), how can we do the same for Sudan war (timeline * famine)?[1]Rockwizfan (talk)13:02, 22 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

or a transfiguration of the January 15 version with updated statistics and regions,
At least 19 people are killed and hundreds are evacuated across South Africa in flooding caused by torrential rains in several provinces, including Limpopo and Mpumalanga.

Not sure if this is the right talk page to post, but there's a stray "=" after "American rock climber Alex Honnold free-solo climbs the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan, becoming the first person to ascend the skyscraper in that manner, after completing the 508 m (1,667 ft) climb in about 90 minutes during a livestreamed event". Anyone able to remove? Thanks! ---Another Believer(Talk)17:05, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This could make the Wikipedia app much more interesting and useful. I at least would start to use it again to browse around via its home feed.
It would also increase the use of this underrated portal which is relatively unknown with few people reading it regularly, thereby making all of your work more worth the effort (thanks for updating & maintaining this page!). Image on the right shows how it could look like.
