Using the Language selector to switch language of translatable pages
[edit]TLDR The WMF Language team is implementing a change to use the Language selector from ULS for language selection on Vector 2022, replacing the current flat list with all languages above the page content.
Here is the example of this implementation on translatewiki and the current discussion on Babylon talkpage. SCP-2000 01:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Gadget: "show categories at the top of the page"
[edit]Hi there!
As an admin on Commons, I regularly do maintenance on the kind of categories files are in. As a CN admin on Meta, I also try to tidy up categories where I can, and sometimes this just means I want to check if a page is in a category at all.
On Commons there is a gadget to Place categories above all other content that I enjoy a lot when doing this kind of concierge work: as far as I can see, we don't have this one active here. Is that intentional, or has it simply never been requested? If the latter: here is my request, please show your support.
