HTML inconsistencies on translated page Wikimedia_Foundation/Communications/fr

hi all, EN page is ok but translated page(s) as for example Wikimedia_Foundation/Communications/fr present contents text whith abnormal extra big size and several tags <div class="flex-grid-col wmf-collapsible-box-title".... not yet rendered, showing thus an obvious inconsistent HTML structure. Can someone correct please because I have no translate admin rights on this wiki. Thanks. -- Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 14:56, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

The message Translate this page appears at the top of the page, so there’s no task left that needs translation admin rights. Just take a look at the outdated translations. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Pppery! Could you please check some translated pages besides English one? They all have the code and do not seem rendered properly. I think we all will appreciate if you could fix it. Thanks! — Pacha Tchernof (talk) 05:58, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

No idea why I was pinged here specifically, but this is now fixed. The problem was {{WMF Collapsible Box}} wasn't properly supporting parameters with lang indications. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 16:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Looks like tumbleweeds here, but hopefully someone sees this. The post:

There is a quote post in defense of Wikipedia, but it's new and hasn't got any legs yet:

Update from twitter OP:

"wikipedia founder spoke with me after this and convinced me much of the budget is reasonable

i remain skeptical of several subgrants but broadly view wikipedia as a massive success compared to any other decades-old nonprofit"

@Patternbuffered: Hello, please note that WMF communication team has stopped to use Twitter, and here is the list of social media channels currently in use. In my opinion, these anti-Wikipedia posts are biased complaints against Wikipedia, which has often happened, and we don't need to feed the trolls. SCP-2000 12:15, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Possible media issues regarding RfC on Republican Party article

There’s most likely going to be an RfC regarding how to acknowledge far-right elements on the English GOP page. If you have any specific requests for how to conduct the RfC to minimize right wing media backlash, we’re all ears. Retr0r0cket (talk) 20:32, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
