Yes, you read that right. Dark mode is (finally!) here. One of the most requested features, dark mode improves accessibility and reduces eye strain for readers and volunteer editors across Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. While creating dark mode may seem simple, it required overcoming tricky and unique challenges particular to Wikipedia, such as respecting and maintaining accessibility of user-generated content. The Wikimedia Foundation’s engineering teams worked closely with communities to bring dark mode to light. It is now available on select wikis, and will soon be deployed to others. Learn more about the benefits of dark mode, the challenges in making it a reality, and how you can contribute. ➡️ w.wiki/Agzk
