Tech News 2024 survey results
[edit]I've added the survey results, and some notes, at Tech/News/Reader survey 2024/Results. Thanks again to everyone who helped translate the questions, and/or shared feedback in the survey. Work is ongoing to research or implement some of the ideas in there, including improving our documentation about it all, and I'll write again here about that in the next week or two.

Plural
[edit]Hey team, please remember to use the plural function for numbers like View all $1 community-submitted tasks. The word "tasks" changes depending on the number in many languages, e. g. in Russian "$1 tasks" can be:
- …11 задач
- …3 задачи
- …21 задачу
Some languages also have specific forms for 2 items (Arabic) etc. Le Loy (talk) 05:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Le Loy Oh! Thank you for that note. I was aware that plural words often vary a lot below 10 in some languages, but didn't know (or had forgotten) that they changed for larger numbers. I've added a note to the TN Manual. P.s. Thank you Cookai1205 for the edit to this week's edition. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Tech News page
[edit]Hiya! The Tech News "front page" has recently undergone some changes. I must admit I prefer the previous header, as it was clear if anything needed a translation and such. The text on the page is also entirely unaffected by the customizable "text size". I am using the "small" configuration, and it all just seems rather jumbled and large to me. Is this intentional?

- Oh, and also, what's up with the serif font? EdoAug (talk) 21:01, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi EdoAug! Thanks for the comments. I plan to discuss these issues and related concerns with my colleagues later this week. We might have some of them fixed even earlier. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
