'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:29, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Userboxes

Hello there! I was wondering if I was allowed to bring existing userboxes from enwikipedia to here? for example, if I wanted to add Template:User Pantheist (a userbox that is only on the en wikipedia) to my profile on simple, could I simply copy the source code from the en wiki page? Or must I create my own original pantheist userbox with its own original source code/text? I apologize if this isn't the right place for questions of this nature.

@Gumboot Soup: Yes, you can copy it. Please be sure to:

Categorize it in a category we have here, either Category:Userbox templates or a subcat of it. We don't have the same categories as enwiki, so the category/ies it's in there might not exist here.
Bring over the doc page and functional subpages, if any. You do not have to bring over sandbox or testcases pages unless they are needed.

Thanks! If you would like the template imported for you, you can ask for that on WP:AN. -- Auntof6 (talk) 16:24, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
