Simple English wikis: the als.wiki solution[change]
This is the only Simple English WMF project remaining, other than simple.wiki. The Simple Wikibooks and Simple Wikiquote were closed for the same spurious so-called "reasons" (read: excuses) used multiple times by people trying (and failing) to get the Simple Wikipedia and Simple Wiktionary closed. There is an unofficial Simple English Wikinews, but that's stuck on Wikia (IncubatorPlus). There is also a proposal on Meta for a Simple Wikiversity, but anti-Simple-English Wikimedians are spamming "oppose" !votes. wikipedia:als: (soon to be renamed gsw.wiki) moved all of their sister projects to namespaces on the Wikipedia site around 2007, and now has almost the full suite of sister projects (except for Wikiversity) intregated into one wiki. This should be done with simple.wikipedia; simplified versions of the English Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikinews, and Wikiversity all on one MediaWiki installation.

- KATMAKROFAN: Interesting idea. Might you be able to re-post this to the Simple English Wikipedia's Simple Talk? Here, the discussion can't gain much consensus. Thanks, Zhangj1079 (talk) 22:40, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- @KATMAKROFAN: I didn't see you bring it up at w:simple:Wikipedia:Simple talk--was that deliberate or an oversite? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:51, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers[change]
New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.
Thank you!
