Wikipedia and Wikia

Does this mean they have to purge the page histories?

I wouldnt put it past them. Who knows how much fuckery goes on there.

Wiki looked normal to me a couple days ago. But I'm logged in, so maybe that's it?
I did notice that deadnaming is now not allowed, and there are apparently uber-Draconian punishments for anyone that dares deadname.

This might sound retarded but I think they're rolling the new layout slowly. I didn't notice a change at all when Voices made his post but a day later I was browsing both a popular and unpopular page and the unpopular one didn't have the new layout.

You're right, it does

They might be. I was looking through Lucas John Roberts' page history a bit and did not find his real name anywhere. Not sure why he even has a page there at all. He probably made it himself. He's also been fucking around at archive.org.

(Hey mods, could you update the word filter so that "Lucas John Roberts" and "Lucas John Roberts" default to "Lucas John Roberts"?)

As you see, it has been done.

Gern geschehen.

For some reason the German Wikipedia is just about the only one left that has not switched to the new layout introduced at least 2 years ago.
Mind you, apparently you can enjoy the Kraut wiki with the table of contents conveniently off to the side (so you don't have to scroll past it to get to the actual page text) and a bunch of links you probably won't need hidden in popups, but you need a Wikipedia account for that because apparently nobody thought about storing this layout flag in a fucking cookie.
For the vast majority of users without an account, you have to wait for the cabal of German Wikifags to change the "default layout" setting.

German bureaucracy at work.
